Big project

Postby Bernard » Wed Jun 18, 2008 5:23 am

Not to everyone's taste but you have to admire the amount of work involved...

I like it.

It respects most of the shapes and lines of the FTO and had been cleanly done.

The only think which is stupid is the sound system, as always.

Nice project - I'm impressed.
They've added a nice line to the car with the kit on the outside - I just wish they'd have done it with a different kit - but respect where it's due..

A lot of work done to what appears to be a high standard.

In fact are they actuallt pipes fitted to some sort of unit mounted on either side of the front rocker

A hell of a lot of work to a TIP GR.

Think they're for the NOS install.. - have a read of the article.. they're done a fair bit of work :-) Certainly a labour of love.

All the carbon inside is horrible. Don't see the attraction with that at all...

And the purple colour is a bit much. But as I've said before, everyone to their own. Lot of work gone into it though, the owner must be very proud of the final result.

Nice find Bernard.
I quite like the exterior styling and the interiors not bad either - however despite the obvious big bucks spent to modify he left the standard Tip lever, steering wheel, dials and GR brakes/discs intact. :?
