Hey guys,

Just recently bought myself a 1994 FTO GPX from auction for $1,900.. it is a repairable write off but its been mostly repaired so shouldn't be a hassle getting it registered. Im wanting to clean up the interior as it is looking a bit tacky.. but all in all really excited to do a few mods, probably leave the engine alone and fix up the interior which has not been looked after at all.

Hi welcome to the forum

I hate to say this but I think youve been ripped off! $1,900 for a 1994 gpx sound a bit much.
Thanks Andy

That was a joke by the way....

Sounds very good im sure everyone would like to see some pics. for that price id expect to see a crumpled up beer can, so im sure you got yourself a good deal

WTTC,

I hope it's been repaired properly and passes easily. Goodluck,

Doesn't look to bad mate. The engine is so dirty though!

yeah.. i was planning to get some degreaser and give it a fair clean.. its definately not been looked after.. but i was hoping to have a play around with it.. i mean it was 1900 so i thought why not..
