My Project Fto

Postby Jono » 13 Apr 2011, 23:08

Hi I am Jono I have purchased a fto as a project
It is a 1995 Fto GR
Lets just say it needs a fair bit of work before it is back on the road

not a lot of work got done on the fto today due to me pulling a muscle in my neck but I will post pictures tomorrow

Ok here it is

Have picked up the car just couldnt say no to a baconator from wendys
Image

Ok so the car is now home and wow what a long trip that was I live in Thames the car was in Te Puke
Image

Ok so I need to get some wheels at this stage it is on 2 axle stands and my space saver and miv3cs space saver
Image

So there was a dent just behind the door and the bog was cracked so it all had to come out and lets just say there was a lot of bog
Image

Just some pics of the interior after cleaning up all the lose crap in the car
Image

Image

So I now have some wheels for the car only problem is they dont fit on the front and I need smaller tyres
Image

Ok I now have got some smaller tyres for the front they are gt radials with 7 mm tread on them I paid $125 for all 4 so you can't get much better then that
Image

Now a photo of the engine
Image

and last is the headlights they need a bit of work

without any work
Image

with a little bit of work still needs a bit more

Great project car!

Not keen for wide wheel arches while you're bogging? :)

Keep us updated with her - always good to see more pics.

Could do lol but at this stage the plan is to get it complied then start changing things after that
sometime in the future I would really like to put a 6a13tt or a 4g63t in it
but not at this stage im not made of money you know :D

There wont be a lot of bogging needed where a few dents need a few finishing touches after a little panel beating

Ok so I know it has been a while since I last posted an update I just havnt had a lot of free time to work on the car
and I still need to decide what I am going to do about the front bumper
I am either going to use marks one for compliance or order a bozz speed from the uk

I will post a list of everything I want to do to the car shortly.
