Hey Guys Newbie here, dont know if this site is that active anymore but i decided to make an account due to me buying my first car, An Fto GPVR she is a little roughed up and needs some TLC but what 20 year old car doesnt, if anyone is willing to give me some guidance on what to do with it and such id be more than grateful.

Pictures of it when i first bought, have tried to clean her interior well, some trash owner before it ripped out the stereo destroying the centre console so i need a replacement and it needs a new drivers side mirror. A previous owner sprayed over the original white with a pearl white because the paint seems to be peeling off revealing another white underneath, so she needs a new paint job, probably not the smartest buy but i love the car and im stuck with it now, for better or for worse.

Welcome to the club! I think I think I saw this on Carsales during my occasional browse.

Looked reasonably tidy, hopefully it treats you well! Maintain them properly and they're no less reliable than most other cars of the same era.

For the stereo surround look here http://ftoaustralia.com/v3/viewtopic.ph ... nd#p409345

Our annual bonfire club meet at the Vice Pres Dstocks property in NSW is coming up in April if you can make it

Thank you for the response and the invite to the meet up, dont know if i would want to bring a roughed up FTO to a meeting full of well looked after fto's though, might be a bit embarrassing.

Nah, we take all kinds.

The only test is that it has to make it down the dirt road haha
