I agree, dare I say it, I think I prefer it to the white one!!

No real choice if the chassis rot is as bad as the last owner claims. Would def be worth getting hold of a second FTO chassis (this could be got pretty cheap) - seam weld and roll cage before fitting all the parts from Blue FTO. Lovely looking FTO - would look savage with a matt black vinyl wrap combined with the CF.

Oh ya that wrap would be sweet! Saw a Porsche and a Ferrari done in the wrap in Top Gear in London, looked savage! And costs less than a spray job according to the installers, they were doing one as a sample while we were there. The only thing is that you can see the cuts sometimes if not done properly like around petrol flap and openings, as in doors, boot, and bonnet.

Any pics available of such a wrap ?

The idea of the wrap isnt as a finish, its more for protecting the paitwork, so when you decide to sell on the car you just peel off the wrap and there isnt any stone chips or sun blotches anywhere on the car. But I think it looks like a cool finish too though, def something different, and it can be done in a day with the right guys at it.

to give you an idea how bad the rot is, I jacked the car up and put and needed 4 axel stands to take the weight as the pressure exerted on one when i tryied to remove the jack, the car wouldnt hold it just bent under hte weight

Then why not go down this route?

[d_dan]

thats the plan.

im not completely breaking the car my white FTO is just getting the alot of the visual stuff and the new one is getting the performance bits.
I was hoping to see if i could save the car but I doubt theres any chance

I'll take it off your hands cheap Dan.

I'm sure that is a bit of a sickener alright. I know you knew is wasn't a keeper when you got it, but did you know it was this bad?

[Muad_dib77]

that doesn't sound very nice alright..

Swap you for a box of Loft flooring screw I have sitting on my desk here for some reason..

Hope you get home alright... don't blow the engine now..

[gary d]

Dan have you any plans for the indicator/foglight pods as mine are missing the lampholder for foglights there's a pic of this in my whats missing post?? in FTO technical. was thinking if you are using this car purely for the track you could remove lights pods and make a duct in their place to cool brakes
