Hi from Adelaide, First FTO

Hey guys,
Just recently bought myself a 1994 FTO GPX from auction for $1,900.. it is a repairable write off but its been mostly repaired so shouldn't be a hassle getting it registered. Im wanting to clean up the interior as it is looking a bit tacky.. but all in all really excited to do a few mods, probably leave the engine alone and fix up the interior which has not been looked after at all.

Hi welcome to the forum
I hate to say this but I think youve been ripped off! $1,900 for a 1994 gpx sound a bit much.
Thanks Andy
