Nah, TM Terror was someone on AMC who had a Challenger Magna, same white kit with the one off ROH rims.
Did a lot of work to it, then the car disappeared.

I saw a challenger in some wrecker online sitting in SA I believe years later, only thing left of the challenger now are memories and these 2 videos.

I know quite a bit about Gen 1 Magna, owned my wagon for almost a decade, and has tooo much money in it. :S

edit: sorry, 3 videos

yea people think my car is a porsche aswell (well aesthetically anyway). i could maybe see a slight resembalance but only if the car had no spoiler. i think if anything the look like an aston martin or a ferrari i made an image with 4 pics showing all 4 cars side by side (fiat coupe there aswell)

:o I totally disagree with you all! I love it!!! and I know some will thing that I am being bias because I know Brenton but I already came to this conclusion before this thread!!! <3 <3
yes it does make it look like it's something from out of a console game like 'Need for Speed' but why not? They are sexy cars, I'm sure you would all agree otherwise why do you love them so much as to join the FTO club of Australia....a fan site.

I know some would rather do performance mods but are people going to notice your performance mods, and you're not going to have people come up to you and go "OMG I love your car!!! What is it?" it's not a conversation starter (As a side note I did think that Brenton's Ford Capri was perhaps over done but each to their own) Personally myself I think the FTO's are awesome in their own right even stock, they have lots of power when you need it and there fun to drive, I wouldn't wanna stuff with the Japaneses mechanical genius behind these cars, but I would change the exterior to make it more personalised and make it look like mine and not Bob's!

I see lots of cars everyday on the road and the only ones I ever take notice of are the ones that sneak up behind me and go "broooooom" (eg: some high revving sounding exhaust) or one's that are shiny and look like sex on wheels!
However if I was to be more critical I would say excellent effort, I appreciate the time effort and money he would have put into that, and it's from Bolivia guys, things are different there. I <3

the leather interior, it looks hot!!! I love the colour coordination, at least he hasn't used 3 different colours, he's kept it simple and sweet. Down side however is I don't like the rear spoiler. I don't know what it is, but I don't like it, perhaps I am thinking of the practicality of changing lanes or reversing, and fuel consumption. would that really be aerodynamic.

whats AMC??????? i know a lot about 1st gen magna's too was my first car and my pride and joy, i know it was much but its not what u drive its how u drive and a fagna redlining and going around corners with the front left or front right nearly touching the ground and the arse raised like a 4wd on with hydrolics(i know i spoelt that wrong) its godddamn fun especially wwith a few nearly non existant power mods.
brings back memories now im getting nostelgic (i think i must be the only 21 year old who has ever got nostelgic lol)

anyway good obiously by no means a performance car but a fun cruiser if u got a good sound system and require comfort. i tryed to sell parts of my kit on ebay but no1 bit, have some parts still headlights interior if anyone interested

looked at ya vids, sweet didnt know they even existed i reaserched the kit for fkn ages and only found stuff on cardomain, u must b a real magna fan lol, didnt have an exhaust sys on mine but at least looked the part, and didnt have no fukin shi**y carby it was a tp efi with a challenger bodykit on it. went well it was a good example of a clean 1(well not the engine after i thrashed the shite outta it) lost power over time prob lost compression and cat was prob blocking up. u can get 145kmph outta them (mainly due to the overdrive gear being useless besides fuel econemy) and yes i, besudes practically.tested this fact on a driving sim (gt4 using a pt cruiser as modding the gear ratio's) (used due to low power and high weight(had to adjust some figues vbut was closest match) it had to get to 178kmph before overdrive(4th) gave it any more top speed (thats assuming it dosent lose any hp or tourque in 20 years haha) it was just an econemyt gear hence being called overdrive.

dont know if i have shown pics or not yet but heres a link to my facebook page(feel free to add me)

car mods (not including car) woulda cost at least 20k.......... if some1 gets an fto and spends 20k and ends up with a brown paintjob, chrome bars, bumper stickers all over windows, $89 exhaust from supercheap im gonna at least appreciate the guy is trying.....

i still maintain this fto looks nice and if anyone has a custom made rear bar that looks better than this touring car style 1 id like to c pics because for the look he has gone for i think he has done well. he hasnt gone for veilside like me and evry1 else that can afford a bkit he has the less jap looking front bar with a sick looking rear end. looks like a DTM which i can understand given that the guy is from bolivia or wateva

Seen worse, also, you have to take into consideration that this car is from Bolivia, I assume they have completely different tastes and trends there ;)

There's a guy on the FTOOC (UK) forum who's from Peru and has a LHD conversion too. Anything's doable with enough time and money.
