I have just bought myself a 1995 FTO as a project so thought I better join up
It has a GPX body but has a 2.0L GR engine. Bodywork in really really rough condition as in scratches and chips but does not have too much rust underneath. Mechanically she is relatively sound, a few issues i.e Very, very smoky but am putting that down to the old fuel in her, maybe the lambada sensor.
She was sat for two years in a barn and was going to be scrapped so I saved her from death. It is amazing how quick a car deteriorates when stood! Luckily for me, by the looks of it, she was given a bit of an overhaul just before storage. She has a new sump, new brake pads, new exhaust so saves me a little dosh.
I am already finding out that this will be an expensive hobby but hey, better than spending it on her than down the pub!
Speak soon
