Ok so the opportunity came up to buy this car
So messaged the seller and purchased the car he said he had it up 4sale a few times over the years but I had never seen it advertised until now
Plan is to rebuild to how it was in the movie just wanted to see it saved

When you get it done, give me a yell. It may not be an FC, but Grace's ute is close enough. Will have to find a dirt road somewhere

Cheers,

i see alot of what looks like opel green where a car that was a mask and spray wouldn't have been painted, for instance where chrome on guttering would go

[EK JAY]

Yeah Mick it's been painted at least once or twice I reckon not really botherd as will be taken back to movie
Paint scheme regardless of paint code on the tag
