G'day Jay,

That looks the goods. Where'd you pick that up from? Noticed an original plate in the car - have you got the other?

What are your plans?

regards
Stewart

got it from ebay while you were all away
was there anything you weren't expecting, looks like a good start

Hi stewart

thanks go's to mick ( ratbox ) who told me about
it and who has been on the look out for me for a while

Hi Jay,

nice work

Hey Jey, Body looks like quite a good starting point.
Should end up as a sweet ride.
Hope you got all the parts, as I found getting the little missing extras can add up the $$$$$
Love the wagons

no thanks needed glad i could help

Nice pick up Jay, look forward to seeing the build-up, Any ideas on what the origional colour was

Thanks Ben
it was a pale blue and white combo on the
ebay photo's before it was blasted but maybe
it was painted before
here is the codes if any one can help

body fb 229 4598 S

trim 605 894

paint 585 9891

Hey Jay,

Body looks to be in good shape.
Look forward to seeing the buildup.
Do you know what sort of primer they used on it.

Hi Malcom
not sure what they used seems to have
kept the surface rust of it as it was done
a couple of years ago
should keep me busy for a while though

Jay, i think the colours are Lilac grey with Cathay grey insert. There is a pic of a FB wagon in the same colours in Jako's Yamba FB orig pics (Ken Baileys car)
