Another one bites the dust.

Can you send me the VIN and the build date off the plates, plus the number off the chassis. I can reconstruct most of the rest for the records.

Also any evidence of original paint colour and trim colour?

VIN is 8M70RFH384429J. Build date is gone off the adr plate. I just got 76 out of the VIN. I'll get the chassis number next time I'm out there.

Trim is unsuprisingly all gone. The front cabin pretty much copped the brunt of the flames. As for original paint I haven't had much of a chance to look. Will do that when I get the chassis number. I just went and had a look at the tailgate (which is out in the shed) and under the blue on the inside there is a lot of paint that looks like Papaya. Was that a HX only colour? I'll try inside the tailgate jambs and stuff on the shell. It was reasonably modded with the spoiler, flared guards and decked out interior and it looks as though the outer part of the tailgate was taken back to metal before being repainted the metallic blue.

[MENTION=771]V6HQUTE[/MENTION] ; Spoiler has a fair few cracks in it. If I can get it off in one piece I'll get some photo's.

[MENTION=404]Steve[/MENTION] ; The headlining strip is pretty rusty looking and has a ding where the jib arm went in to lift it on the truck but if I can get it off without it falling apart I'll let you know.

It is a 5/76 build so Papaya would be a normal colour for it. Chassis number will be BHJ25000B give or take a 100 or so. Any headlining remnant will possibly nail the interior colour.
