    hey guys been awhile since an update, some people know about my plans and what i'm doing to the fto but for those that don't know heres some pics of its current state and i'll put more pics up as it starts to get painted and putting it back together. it all started with the rust in the roof getting fixed and colour change but as usual when i start working on a car i tend to get a bit carried away and well now its going to attract a lot of attention.

    one of the things i changed was the hump in the middle of the bonnet

    Image

    Image

    i have also remove the antenna for the rear quarter panel and removed the mirrors off the doors. other changes are modifing the headlights and building my own taillights. a few other bits and peices in the pipe line aswell. just incase people think they have heard it all before heres a before and after shots of my last project was 3 years in the making and quite a few one off custom parts enjoy
