The picture is rather deceiving. Came with lots of scrapes and scratches. Theres a giant scrape from the back of the left door, along the length of the rear fender. a smaller one on the front left fender. Previous owner must have been bad at turning right.
Theres a bit of rust on the roof too. Planning on getting it all scraped out and re painting the whole thing one day.

What's with fto's roofs rusting? I'm always hearing of rust problems with fto roofs. Your car looks the same as mine. What made you buy a fto?

I think its the way the roof is made. There's 2 large lines the span across the roof. I crashed my old Chrysler Neon (POS tbh). Didnt have insurance so i just had to start saving money. Check all the sites like carsales/ebay daily for several weeks and just couldn't find anything decent for under 5 grand. Then this sexy little thang popped up. Instant erection. I am now considering leaving my girlfriend so i can take my fto to the drive in movies and eat dinner out (om nom nom premium petrol).

It's the glue they used - it's corrosive.
There's a DIY write up on how to remove it on complete Fto I think
(it's still on my to do list...)
