FB 225-13388M
Trim 625-820
Paint 585-9636
Insert 585-9699
Top 585-9636

Good idea. Scratch plates also. Might not work for me - I would need to leave it on the nature strip of my suburban home.
It must have chrome.

You'll be surpised how much you can get off these. Strip it bare and keep as much as you can. Those front gaurds look quite reasonable too!
Speed and Style........... One day I'll get the speed bit.

Still got some good useable parts there Peter and looks like an EK wiper motor in the engine bay.
Freebies are good whatever you get.

I can't think what to write here so this will do.

Yep that's my motto, I thought even one thing would make it worth picking up, the EK wipers and HR disc brake front end (less calipers and discs) made it really worth it!!
