:lol: :P

Don't get me wrong I'd love to see it done but there's a whole lot of money needed and at the end of the day not everyone is willing to spend it.

I wish you good luck Taz, :thumright:

Cheers, ill be needing it.
4g will indefinitely happen, no doubt but awd is still on the cards, not set in stone, would absolutely love to eventually, but when is the question.
Expecting build time will be a year or two so the second job i will be taking will speed it up a bit hopefully

Mitsubishi GTO? Like what the 959 is to Porsche, the forgotten gem of the family.
A stoke of luck or a gift from god?
The hand of fate or devil claws?

As much as $500 looks cheap it really isn't. A lot of parts need to be sourced and as said it will end up costing thousands to finish it, not to mention the work having to put it altogether. A member recently sold a full FTO that was slightly wrecked for $650 (or $500 for FTOAU members) that still was drivable.
