Is is worth it!?

Hey guys, i seriously want a FTO!
So i was thinking, should i go and buy or give an offer to the guy down my street who never drives his one?
For the 3-4 years iv'e been living in my new house i have never seen that FTO move. It's picking up dust, leaves and cobwebs.
So i was wondering if you guys could help me out.
Is it worth it restoring the car back to it's original state? Or would it be cheaper just to buy a FTO off someone?
Also would it be hard to restore it? Finding parts and all that stuff?
Thanks guys!

And sorry if this is in the wrong forum page thingy, didn't know where else to put it lol.

Some people have had problem after problem on a cheap fixer-upper FTO (Lawso)...
Others have been lucky.. (FRE55H)
I guess it comes down to who you get it off.. Dwayne (DStocks) usually has some good ones to restore, but apart from that, u take the risk..
Where is the FTO u speak of.. We may know it..

If it's a white 97 facelift with carbon wing, then no you can't have it
Also, if its a yellow COTY with alloys, then I think he wants to sell, but it has engine issues.

Hey, thanks for the reply guys.
The FTO is silver and it's in Mt Druitt, hahahaha.
I always look at it and think "What a waste of a car"

Probably stolen or police evidence from a ram raid. You'll never get it re-registered

Ok fine, so it hasn't been driven cause the owner got done for DUI, blew 0.4 & lost his licence till 2014

I'll investigate..
Anyways, you're way better of buying a good condition FTO... look in the cars for sale section, there's a few good versionR's in there! specially Bushido's.
