Great pic and all the best with the search Matt. Hope you can track it down.
Did you notice that the FE? has some well sought after optional side trim on it...

Great pics Matt. Do you have any numbers? Plate Chassis? Looks to be Seagull Grey.
Has anyone notice that the original painted cars like this FB have slightly different paint shade on the guards. I have notice that on factory paint cars.

I think the artist was probably some pimply 20 year old that thought they'd look good lower

Steve.. nah no info on id plate or anything, only got the old rego number that it had. Fingers crossed i track it down, got a few strong leads anyway!
Yeah that FE has a nice side mould. We just have to source the two pieces on the passenger side front guard as they were removed before we found it!
Yep, The FB is sitting up nice and high, looks good in the pic and yes those Rims look damn massive!
Glads you guys like the pics!
Cheers Matt
