:shock:

crap!!! That's the car and all. Oh the muppet who did that deserves a death sentence. That was one of the best FTOs out there.

Ah well, I guess my custom blue is the new fave colour :lol:

As sad as that seems, they're doing an amazing job on it!

Why not pick up a beaten up FTO? They destroyed a gorgeous example! :evil:

From memory it was spare for them, and they didn't want to get rid of it, so they decided to make use of it.

That's what I understand from what they mentioned on facebook.

Either way, their workmanship always amazes me, I'm sure they will make an amazing looking ute out of it 8)

I don't know if you've seen their latest images, but it's almost complete:

I cannot deny the workmanship and the idea is great. But, to do it on one of the best examples out there is just wrong. Especially one with such a lustrous paint job. At the very least, i would hope they reinstate the same paint colour, but I doubt they will.

Assuming it's the same car, there's no telling what kind of life it had since Danny sold it. It might not have been in great nick when they started.

Would be a hell of a coincidence if it wasn't the same car. Same colour, same wheels. I suppose anything could have happened, but it looked good in the pre-op photos.

Where is my gun?

Can this thread be split? It's gone off topic a bit and looks like 2 good topics
