FTO AUSTRALIA

Well here she is... I was going to call her "Red Rocket" but until Bennoz finds a new colour, I'll have to ponder a name for a little while longer!

Purchased her off a nice young Asian bloke in November 2011, and the car was intended for the girl but she fails at Veilside parking

It is my first Japanese car! My previous cars were overly powered vintage Commodores, but when I realized that I shouldn't be driving such boganwagons, I sold up and took the FTO, and bought a stock one for the girl!

You sure? The pics look like it has stock headers... (happy to be proven wrong!)

So today, I got a little bored and thought that my interior wasn't quite red enough...
Decided that my speaker covers were a little boring, so I pulled out the paint and went to work!


I used VHT caliper paint because:
A) It was all I had left in red stock.
B) It matches the passion red perfectly.
C) I really like the matte effect for the interior!



A few coats of red later...



Made a stencil...



A bit of liquid chrome...



TADA!!






I think it's a job well done

Oh...And I gave my carpet the Meguiar's treatment

Looks good!
What's that little box thing to the right of the gear stick?

Apparently it's a parking sensor, and that box is a switch to turn it on and off... It's on the black GR as well so I assume it was a factory thing...
Found a switch for it under my steering wheel...
...Flicked it...
*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEP*
Realises that the sensor's behind my Veilside bumper and that there's a reason it's switched off!

Okay, so I got a bit TOO excited on photobucket...
