The easiest way to go is to make a replica of how it looks today mate. Then you al ready have it. Just get a gatebil sticker in the window, red mud flaps and remove one of the bonnet vents.

The closest I found when a mate of mine wanted to repaint his Escort Cab in that colour was MG Trophy Blue with pearl coating. Flips in different lighting.
Stian's car had a colour called "Aquarius Bahama Blue" if that's any use to anyone? The 3dr Cossie at Gatebil is painted the same

No idea mate, that's all I remember.
But as for the car, it apparently been sold on from Leif Nilsen (Gatebill head man) and is currently in the hands of....I quote from a Gatebil fan..."some snot nose kid who can't drive and just brakes it all the time, so doesn't live up to its reputation anymore..."
