FTO AUSTRALIA

So I've been a member of this site for about 1.5 yrs I think and I have decided to show my second love (behind my girlfriend of 5 yrs) LOL
So she was stock when I got her besides exhaust, rims and pod filter that's it's. Now I have had my FTO for 2+ yrs and now I have done nearly everything imaginable my dad and I (father son bonding days lol) we rebuilt the engine painted near all of the engine bored out intake manifold bought bc coilovers replaced the gearbox (as I have two FTO) all the front end like bushes and wheel bearings try to do the rear end the same as front, sound system still in progress few painted interior bits here and there interior neons and some other stuff I can't think of everything right now but thats so far.
As much pain and drama my car has cause for me I still wouldn't change it for the world I love my car and this forum is like a big family of FTO enthusiast

Will post some pic very soon thanks for everyone's help so far and in the future

Wow, very impressive!! Any future plans for it apart from what's already been done?

Solid effort!!

Nice ride there, it doesn't look yellow now
You are doing a good job making your FTO individually yours
Father/son bonding days + FTO = Awsome family + Nice car

Looks good mate.

Do you ever come up to Newcastle? Because I think I have seen your car around a few times.

Thanks Phil yeah I took new photos lol yeah I do plan on more upgrade just need more income to make it happen I'm thinking I want a N/A tune so bigger injector piggy back looking at haltec cams and internal work one day but that's a while anyway yet (dam) but I won't to do some body work first she blows most car out the way anyway hahaha I love it

Hint, hint, nudge, nudge

Will also join this newcastle cruise

Looks really nice, except the blue interior

Spetz not your style aye with interior it will look much better when
I get leather interior will update photos when that happens
This mini cruise could turn out massive at this rate hahaha that will be four FTO's and my mates will be awesome better get my black licence before had to lol

Is that a custom intake pipe on there as well?

That's is correct custom intake pipe not quite finished though as the black stuff around it is electrical tape cause its only tactics on ATM lol and that's only half of it I have made the bottom half yet (home jobs love them)

3" bend into 4" then pod filter sound nice if I wasnt listening to my tappets so much

Wanted to do something like that myself.
Turned out quite well from how you've done yours!
Meanwhile, our battery is still in the engine bay, and not moving!

Lol I put mine in the boot as u can see in the photos of engine bay it's MIA hahaha

Ok guys update on my Fto I have a name for her so I'll just call her by her name Torrie anyway Torrie finally has a sound system after 3+ months of not have installed it lol
So this is want went in
2xvifa 5" speakers in the front with splits and twitters (this is one of the 5" speakers)
2x 6x9 response speakers in the back no photo (forgot haha)
2x 4x100 response amps (again only one)
And for the bass 2x8" subs by vifa I think can't remember haha.
So that's whats in now for how I did mostly just a pic presentation
Starter with the box for the subs mounted in behind the rear seats like so
Cut the seat out so bass came through
Next was the box for the subs and the back wall which holds the amps as well like a so
Now for some carpet
And hide the wiring

And I'm done 3 days later starting from 7 till 5 every day I was committed :):):):):)
Only photo I forgot was the finished product I will take one tomorrow

So happy I got music I was smiling from ear to ear and laughing
