Congrats on getting your FTO back on the road mate

Well done

Cheers guys

Yeah, skirts are on the list, but that'll all happen in one hit with a respray. Coming into some cash in the next few weeks

Fto is looking nice ben

What colour are you going to have it resprayed?
Im guessing the guys are going to fix the rusty roof, and I was wondering if you could get a quote on how much they would charge just to repair the rust on the roof by its self without a complete respray.
Thanks

That's a little below the belt there Aza.

It will be the same colour, possibly marginally deeper of the same red.

Andy, was quoted $1600 to repair just the roof. Thats them doing all the work, lining out etc done properly with a respray blended down to the seam halfway down the rear pillars.

Thats not a bad price, mine has got really bad in the last 6 months.
I guess thats going to happen when you have to leave your car outside though.

I'll try and make it too so that you can try a tip Mivec Turbo too.

Sweep · Post by **Sweep** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 11:00 pm

That would be great AJ being as my Fto is a mivec tip also.

Well as you may have read, I pulled the gearbox out again to fix a hideous noise.

With the much appreciated help from Rock_it, got the box out, problem identified, repaired & at about 7pm we had the magic *Clump!* noise of the box slotting back into position. Just need to pop driveshafts back in & a few other bits, then she's good to go

Part in question that was about to obliterate was a $20 bearing... the front bearing on the primary shaft. A bearing which strangely enough, felt fine on the shaft.. covered in oil... just when we pressed it off the shaft could we feel & see the wear.

I cracked it open to check the damage... she was well & truly f*cked

That's a good picot it..

I expect that is what is wrong with the wifes FTO, screwed bearing.

And I reckon ours looks even worse than that!

Damn.

could be tempted.

However, need to find out if it's worth fixing this box (whether it bolts up to a different motor

)

Might have a yack to you at the bonfire.

Edit: finished the research and can use the gearbox, so will take you up on the offer once things get going.

Might bring the car round to you one weekend so you can have a listen, you might deduce it to be something else and not the gearbox at all.
