nope, my FORD lettering is not removable either.
It came out ok, some Dulux metallic chrome and looks good enough for me.
I've got some Narva H4 replacement lights that should freshen up the front also, plus a lead on a 2litre, with a bit of luck
 

I'm inpressed. I looked at the ford lettering and thought "how the heck am I supposed to maks that properly?" Any tips?

I just used the blue painters tape from Bunnings ripped into strips.
It was rough as guts in spots to be honest,but turned out fine. I have thin some plastic tape used for masking pinstripes and doing flames, and was going to use that, but like virtually all of me gear its packed away in a box somewhere until the garage is knocked down. I was really impressed by the chrome paint though, more metallic than chrome but it turned out a good match.  I hope to refit it and the new lights this week just to see a bit of an improvement.
 
Jacking the car up cracked a thick filler job in what looked like an otherwise ok cowl repair done previously.
One step forward, 19 back.
 
Still looks good though with the (empty) front end sitting skyward and old minilights. tyreblacked bald tyres as well

santa has come early, some 13" JBW minilights, new tyres,wheels studs, a front spoiler, bumperettes and a few other bits. New H4 headlights are done, and the grill can go back in.
 
I'm pretty sure there's a waterfall going on underneath the passenger C pillar, the undercoat that someone's painted on always seems damp, you can see it in the photos.
 
So what are the thoughts regarding the pillar vent? Someone has siliconed up all of the inside faces, and I guess the water is pooling up or draining internally down to the wheel arch.
Is it possible just to avoid the vent altogether, cutting out the inner panel and then weld a patch over the top? From what I have read the problem in Aus 4 doors was poor sealant or foam, which caused water to collect then rust the wheel arch.
Anyone else come up with a solution?
 

Flooding it with  fish oil might be the go.
I used fish oil when we did the capri in the bottoms of the doors, sills etc.
 
In truth, I don't actually understand the purpose of the vent, the Capri and previous escort don't have any?
What would stop actually just plating it up?
 

One thing I've done to a more door rear vent slot once it's repaired is cut a strip of thin aluminum the same shape as the plastic vent cover and stick it in place with sikaflex, then fit the vent cover over it. This stops any water entering and causing grief to your pride n joy.

so this is what a vent is meant to look like???
yours for $675.
Group buy then remanufacture?

Good idea but don't forget you will also need the LHS.
And the drainage channels LHS and RHS.
And top section of the rear guards.

Ford bag not included!

I would never have picked that the rear C pillar vent was available as a separate part, I can't even get how that part fits, it looks so different to what you normally see. Len
