    Wow great score. Absolutely love this colour in the Q. I would probably turn from my love of HJ's and HZ's for a windowless Q in this colour. The front gutter looked fairly bad but came with another van as a donar from memory? Well done, bargain - goes to show that they still exist. Cheers, Jeza

    Good start, indicates the body most likely belongs to the tags. Being metallic and a 4spd means most likely a Sandman, but it still needs some more confirmation before you spend bulk funds on it. GREAT HQ colour BTW.

    I'm not sure. I always thought it was one of the colours that looked quite dark in low light and quite bright in the direct sunlight.
