[SOLD] Black manual 96 FTO $5200

Hey all,

As a result of the many boxes of plants we are now sending out each week, we have decided to sell my wifes daily drive to move onto something with a little more carrying capacity (the RAV4 you see in a couple of the pics below). This has been a great little car. Hasnt skipped a beat since we got it.

The car has done 150000 km, but the engine has only done 125,000 km. We got the car with a blown head gasket and rather than fix it, I did an engine swap. The engine (and ODO) came out of muchacho32's GPvR (the ODO in his had nicer dials). He had just spent $2000 on it to get all the belts redone and the seals replaced before the car was written off. This was about 10,000 km ago.

I have done a full facelift conversion, including installing factory Xenon headlights. All seats have been upholstered with red fabric (and the seat bolsters are in good knick). It has an aftermarket sports exhaust that puts out a nice sound without being loud. Other than these things, it is pretty much stock.

Is a manual and the gearbox feels nice. Tires are about 80% and ive just replaced the splash shields. The body is straight and all panels line up nicely.

On the down side, the paint on the bonnet and roof isnt fantastic, but I intend to respray these before it drives away. There are also a few marks on the boot where a Veilside wing sat. In the long run, a respray would not go astray. The seats could use a professional dry clean as there are a few marks.

Looking for $5200.

We are located on the South Coast of NSW. Piccies below

Im not sure. They came with the car. Werent attached properly when I got them. Attached them properly myself. I had my recaro front seats in my FTO covered for $400, but that didnt include the fabric.

Ill let everyone know if the sale falls through......

hey dwayne!

thanks heaps for showing me around both cars the other day was very helpful and appreciated it very much. learnt heaps!.

i am very keen to get this car as soon as the sale of mine goes through, i have looked around but can't really afford the ones with cracked front bars and ones that are over $6000 as i need to insure it and save up to move out at the end of the year.

putting my forester down at the car yard this weekend as i head to canberra and hopefully i get a sale of some sort lol ... would LOVE to take this of your hands considering its been in what i think one of the best hands on the club :s.

so does this mean no one else can buy this at the moment depending on whether this sale happens or not?

Yes its on hold which means no one can purchase this. I'm sure dwayne has a list of people interested though.

Bloody Hell, I didnt expect an avalanche. I thought it would sit up for a few days before I got a bite. This wasnt supposed to happen. All I can do is go in the order offered im afraid
