Couldn't bring myself to sell it but it won't do much work these days the FG is my day to day car and my Jeep is my diving vehicle so the AU will just come out for a bit of fun. who know I might just get that PD blower on it now

Nice one. I also couldn't bring myself to sell the au when I got my fg2 last year. The FG is a great car and a lot more composed stock-for-stock than the b series. Is it new? It's at least an early 2013 model going by the wheels but doesn't have stock tyres.
