New guy from Melbourne

Hey everyone how's it going? I'm from the Macedon ranges area around 45 minutes away from the CBD. I recently just bought a 1995 GPX model with 144,000 on the clock and couldn't be happier with my purchase. Does anyone know any good mechanics who specialize with FTO's and know the in's and out's? I'd love to make some mates that share the same passion for these beautiful cars like me so If anyone is from Melbourne and is interested in going for a cruise just let me know! Would love to get to know some crazy FTO enthusiasts like myself, also i've got 2 GPX (1 auto, 1 manual) which I picked up for practically nothing which I am going to do up in the near future so I sure could use some input from those willing. And just in case anyone is going to the Hanging Rock car show this weekend I'll try be there with my car! :)

WTTC. You're a long way from me but if you scour the forums you can find just about everything you need to get started modifying your FTO.
First place I would stop is http://ftoaustralia.com/v3/viewforum.php?f=10
I'm pretty new to the club but I'm on here almost every day :lol:
Post some pics so we can see what you're starting out with.

Cheers man, it's funny you say that because the FTO I just purchased was from Newcastle and I flew up to get it and drove it back to Melbourne! no worries I'll put up some pics tomorrow

Nice!

Bit of a drive for you, but if you want, you are more than welcome to come to the bonfire in April. You could join the SA contingent on the way through if you want.

I think c0n13oX is interested to come with his silver GPX as well and he convieniently lives about 5 minutes away from me so we'll join the SA boys on their way through!

hey a bit of a late reply but im melbourne too... well frankston but i dont like to talk about it :P
dont have a specialist mechanic but my usual mechanic has become fairly familiar but no doubt it would be a bit of a drive.
think a few of the melb group were planning a cruise, might have fallen thru though
