Hi all

Hi everyone,

I thought I would join up and say hello. I'm from QLD and recently bought a 94 FTO GR and when looking up stuff for it noticed this site. It seems very helpful and a good community. The car I got was quite cheap and needs some work but is almost back on the road again.

Hi and thanks for the welcome :D

Im from kingaroy, few hours west of brissie. At the moment im actually chasing a thermostat housing. when I checked it, I noticed the lip where the pipe goes on is all corroded, and there is a small leak. I figured since I was changing the thermostat I may as well look into getting on top of both. I did buy a couple of other parts from some dude on ebay in the uk without searching to hard but if I can buy parts here in Australia that would save my pocket on shipping.

Hi thanks for the welcome :D

I will have to take some pics of her first, I should say though, she aint pretty at the moment. When I bought it, it is full of paint chips, scratches and a dent plus other assorted problems :?

Do I attach them to my reply in this topic or is there some place to upload them?
