Default doorslammer stolen

In the early hours of this morning, Wayne Price's beautiful Mercury Top Doorslammer was stolen fom the carpark of Rooty Hill RSL. Price's enite truck and trailer containing the Mercury was towed from the carpark to a nearby road where thieves removed the doorslammer from the trailer and transported it to another location.
The truck and trailer have been recovered though damaged less one t/d
A reward is also on offer leading to the recovery of the car

If anyone has any information PM me please
the car can be returned no questions asked!!!!...this car and parts are unique, you will be found out if you have them and face very some serious consequences.
Recovery of the car is a must.

wayne is very upset as this car was one of a kind. these people need to be caught as YOUR car could be next.

Damn shame.. what goes around, comes around, and these scums will get theirs in time.


What a sad sight to see. Below is a pic of the burnt out remains.

Not good news, especially for the poor blokes who would of slaved their backsides off researching, planning, and putting together such a fine car. How on earth could someone do that to someone elses pride and joy when they should no well and good how much effort and money goes into it

The chassis that was in this car, was it suited to the Mercury body or is it a generic-type cage design that allow various body shell designs? Reason is if it only suits a certain type or sized shell we can keep a better look out for similar cars

Rodderz the chassis was made for the mercury to fit another type of body would mean modifying the chassis, also to tech the car to race it again u have to specify the chassis builder
