It's a rare one. I looked at a same colour FB on eBay at Gladesville NSW, needs a lot of rust work. The owner wants $2,500 for it. Would have love to have got the car before it sat in the weather for five years!

Steve, you have inspired me yet again, as this is the original colour scheme for my wagon and is going back to original colours, are you painting it the sam, if so can I get the paint codes etc so i can give them to my paint supplier as they have some problems finding it. What are doing with the interior as its the same as mine, if your not keeping it I would be interested in buying it. I must get mine painted soon. If only I did not have to work...
Great pics, keep up the good work.

Hi Dan, thanks for your encouragement and enthusiasm for our exterior refurbishment

Paint codes as follows ....

Corana Grey 253-2327

Arctic Beige - 256-9640

The original trim is ....

Mephisto & Chianti Red + S. G. B .

Dan, with all our FB's and EK's we keep them intact inside and repair the trim if necessary. In this case, the seat was sagged, though, not ripped. We are having the seat re-sprung, re-padded and strengthened, plus cleaned. Should be back from the trimmers within the week. The FB, maybe a bit longer. All the chrome is at least a few months away.

Have you place your ID tag on the forum yet Dan? Is you wagon Nitro Corana Grey or Acrylic Morning Grey?

There was one on eBay six months back FB-229-1832-M Corana Grey / Arctic Beige Mephisto & Chianti Red + S. G. B

Thanks Steve, I have my tag posted a while ago. Mine is exactly the same but a wagon and body number 4655B
What I was really after is what your paint supplier will use to make the paint, the brand their mix etc so I can buy it here. The paint people seem to have trouble matching the numbers to anything. Any suggestions would be great. thanks.
