Fridolins are an absolute classic quirky vehicle, obviously very rare here in Australia. Does anyone have any idea how many are here?

no its poly-urethane we clearcoated in poly-u after initial coloursand with 2000...planning another resto of a pmg ute which i will do in poly-u over epoxy primers/fillers ..but will play with a flattening agent in the colour to get an original type finish ...Al would have done this me thinks

Looking good there - love frids - very different.

Here's another red frid - this one owned by Volksworld (UK 'Zine). They did a feature on it a few years back.
