I LOVE MY GPvR

Post by FTO-LEO »

I picked up my new FTO a week and a half ago and I just cant stop driving it lol. Its a 1998 GPvR with 87 000km on it. It was a grade 4.5 import and its like new. I live in Tweed which is on the NSW n QLD border.

My MSN is leo_36363@hotmail.com and if you have a myspace add me http://www.myspace.com/leo_lives_here

It took me about 10 hours for the wheels and brakes to be done, had a bit of trouble trying to get the hand brake cable back onto the one of the brakes. I think it turned out well :dwarf:

It's very nice what you have done to your wheels. I'm just wondering whether it will look as nice as yours in my black GPvR. By the way what paint did you use on the wheels? Did you also paint the outer lips with silver paint? Thanks.
