FTO AUSTRALIA

It is with great regret that i tell you all that i have written off my f**king car.

I hit a Ford Transit van that was parked on the outside lane on the Princes Hwy in Heathcote yesterday afternoon.

I hit it at 50km/h with my mum and brother in the car. I was changing lanes in heavy traffic to get into a service station, and simply didnt see, (let alone expect) a f**king van to be parked on a HIGHWAY!

Unrepairable damage with 3rd party insurance means that i'm stripping it to pieces.
The wing, seats, exhaust and front bar have already been called for.

Bennoz, if i cannot find a Mirage to do an engine/ gearbox conversion then the gearbox is prioritised to you.

Car took the impact in the passenger side front, so anything that might be of interest to anyone besides parts abovementioned are for sale, including coilovers again.

Will ship parts as well, depending on size. Located in Sydney.

I hate you all!

Aw sh*t man... thats f*cked Yeah I'll take the box. Tell me what you want for it. I'll pick it up.

seeing those photos makes me sick

Thats nasty At least all walked away from it.

So you were the guy that caused the traffic the traffic delay. I was coming back from jamberoo and suddenly got hit with a traffic jam.

You car must've been towed by the time I reached where you got hit. Sorry to hear about your loss dude.

Anyway, got the struts? how much?

Didn't you want the LSD also?

ill take the tail lights if you have them..

let me know


sorry for your loss.(hate being a vulture)

Jump in and help out guys, this is a great opportunity to get your hands on some FTO parts.

This car was an immaculate example so all parts are in great condition.

the LSD is in the gearbox, hence me leaving it to bennoz first. i'll have prices up tomorrow after i take it apart. everyone copped whiplash and mother was in hospital overnight with a neckbrace, but all is well now. cant put a price on body and soul.

hahahhaa opps, ignore this

that's a sad sight sorry to hear mate....
well at least u have your donner car for your conversion right?

i would like to have:
combo swith, stereo surround
mirrors.
and your lights thats in the frount bar if no one has gotten dibs on it.

i'll need u to post them to brisbane , at least they arent too big

PM me how much u want for them

joejoe, what struts are you talking about?

yang, whats the combo switch? the one that controls the mirrors?
front bar never had foggies, and one indicator was obliterated, so they're pointless.

i'll try to strip everything decent out tomorrow and take photos, accompanied with prices. wheels are fine, they werent pushed back from the hit, but i'll get 'that one' balanced to be sure.

The strut bars in the engine and the rear.

they were taken off when it arrived in the country, compliance error.

Thats a shame. bummer

S**T man thats not good sorry to see that hapen to you or anyone for that matter at least you all are ok just a bit shaken up.

that part of the road is always a B**CH as there is aways car parked up or a copper sitting there in the way with his little hair dryer

just let us know if you need any thing bud

Thats bad news mate, another white Version R down.

Cant remember if you had CAI or extractors / exhaust but if you did I'm keen. Although I doubt theres much left of the air intake from those pics. Probably many other things I'm after just cant think of them now. Oh yeh and I'm just up the road from memory so I can come pick stuff up. If you've got any other aftermarket stuff that survived let me know.

sorri2 hear about your car......... i feel bad asking but how much 4 your seats?
