'94 FTO GPX with these mods!!!

Paint work/Body Kit:
*Resprayed in 3-month unwashed silver - free courtesy of drought restrictions. this looks really good at night in the dark with no light.
* Chipped and Scraped front bar with little pushed in dent on driver's side foglight. I bought it with these modifications already, but I've added a few more mods on the front bar myself since I had this car.
* Pin dent mod on driver's side door - free courtesy of some 4wd.

Engine modifications:
*Frayed alternator belt (getting changed today for the new-look type belt! oh yes!! :lol: )

Interior:
* Authentic Mitsubishi cracked console surround. Cracked in not 1 but 2 places.
* Genuine FTO floor mats
* Tiptronic shifter console mod - "+" sign removed by 3 year old kid poking at it repeatedly.
* racing pedals coz it makes the car go faster with racing pedals. 10kw atw approximately.

I.C.E:
* JVC Kameleon deck
* Mitsubishi speakers, left side makes a cool little fart sound when volume is turned up and low bass hits. Right stealth tweeter that doesn't emit any sound whatsoever. COOL!
* Optional mod - Fader fades reverse to what it states on the deck. wow!

Driveline:
* 16" aftermarket deep dish mags in "dirty brake dust" silver and accentuated with scratches. wheel hubs removed for no reason at all!

Other modifications:
* Tacho that stays on 0rpm all the time so you can rev the car as much as you like.
* air cond console lights up only on one side so you don't get dazzled at night by too many interior lights. excellent mod and well worth it.


Whew... i think that's all... I could be forgetting one or two more mods but that's pretty much it.


I think she pulls 200kw atw now at least. Aiming for 300kw after my car is serviced and tuned today... can't wait!


Other Cars:
Driving my mechanics Mercedes until this crap is fixed up today hahaha

    Got it done by my mate, which he since then sold the business, so the price really isn't relevant anymore.

    But it really depends how the panal guy do it, & what kind of job, for "mask over", then it should be around $2k-2.5k. For a complete sand down to bare bone would be around $5k-6k.
