What a great cruiser for a young bloke. You've done well.
Ha ha, thanks Mick. She needs a bit of body work but it will look great when I'm finished. She's silver with a brown roof (people keep mistaking it for vinyl.) I think I'll redo the paint and do the roof white instead of brown. |
No worries, mate. |

That does not sound too good that you got an immaculate car and now it needs body work. Did you have a minor bingle? Great old car though and much cooler and nicer to look at than a modern FWD piece of plastic. |

Silver with a brown roof? Talk about funny taste! Can I get the BODY plate details? If that is an origial paint scheme it'll be good data to see. I've only ever seen any two tone with white roofs unless it was a Holiday/Vacationer model or other such special. |

I have a picture here of the body plate and the paint code is 567-13160 and where it says TOP there are no numbers after it, does that mean the roof was done after it was produced? |
No worries, mate. |

Sorry mate I worded it wrong, haven't had any bingles in it but the back bumper and drivers side mudguard has a dent and there are a few holes in it but nothing too bad |
No worries, mate. |

Yes it does. It may also have had a vinyl roof and this was replaced with brown paint. |
