Oceanmist is a nice colour, my (daughter's) FE Sedan looks good in it. Be good to see the ute when painted.

kalfe sounds like its coming along nicely. i think youve found something even rarer than a stock fe ute....a panel beater who has his act together!!  |

I am always envious when i see people with the know how and skills to restore an FE / FC like you are doing "Especially a UTE", I want one !
Well done on the finish i am sure it will bring you many days of happy motoring and pride

Good onya, Kalfe. Nice finish on the paint job.
I'm like Mick - envious of you blokes who tackle these jobs - I shudder when I think about the day I lay the paint stripper on my car.
So what do you reckon - you started this thread on 3 October last year - will you have it up and running inside 12 months? 3rd October's got to be your target.
