I'd give it all a new coat to wear.
I happily disagree John ! I am making an informed observation after spending two days on the Ute. The original paint is going to come up great!!!

This is the second car we worked on .... Wayne and I (with the help of the big fella Steve Jnr) have sanded, sanded & sanded, the scotch-brite work (that was used to remove the moss that left piles of scratches) are coming out. Once we hit this ute with polish, it will come up better than the FB Wedgewood Blue Flowline ute!

Progressive pics so far ...

The roof was painted white at some stage. Some one removed the paint with a heavy hand. The sunvisor and the Canopy concealed the white until now. Plenty of sanding removed the added paint.

The only standard EK seat I have seen so far with FB Mephisto Red Trim with Madison Grey.
