Welcome to the fold immy :)
Keep us up to date on your mods, 12k is a lot of cash to be spending so I'd be hoping for something fairly impressive! What kit have you decided on?

its a custom kit, although i mite get the veilside front and have it modified a bit, the rear is fabricated from nothing and the skirts are off a supra kit, the rear end will have supra lights and also rear arches fabricated 2 make a wide arch kit aswell as the front arches. also having it resprayed in orange aka supra in fast and the furious. not 2 many ppls style but it will be a show car so thats the way i like it.

it should be a very nice car once finnished sabre styling promise it will be the nicest looking fto in Britain!

I guessed it was england when you said 12k as 12k euro wouldn't cut it,
There is already a orange FTO aka fast and furious in england and it to has a modified veilside front bumper also the supra skirts(aka dcuatro combats...aka topmix), hell your starting to talk about the kit i allready have on mine mate, thou supra rear lights won't fit, unless your willing to cut away part of the rear bodywork, which i'm guessing you will. Also when or if you go onto any of the english fto sites don't go saying it will be the best fto in england that will be one way of never getting help of any of the owners, as everyone takes pride in there baby even the purests who won't modify their FTO. and they will just say somethink like , untill you have won FTO of the show at JAE it isn't (just to let you know i'm a past winner 2002)

But i wish you luck in your project, happy motoring kid

Sounds impressive before you've even started, post some work in progress pics every now and again!

For your first car you really seem to know what you want to do with it, nearly sounds like you're transforming it into a Supra altogether with all the bits and colour like the F&F Supra?

Best of luck with it though, is it in Japan still or already imported?

yeh its arrived here last week, picking it up next week its just getting sva tested.

when i say best fto in britain i know theres probs better ones out there but imo best 2 me lol but it should be a fairly nice looking machine, im still not sure weather 2 go for the veilside front and mod it a bit or get a custom front made from scratch? most probs the latter. now on the supra lights front, i was told by my body shop that they shudnt be a prob 2 fit.
this is just the innitial stage of the project, after this stage i will be concentrating on engine and interior and ice. my plan is to basically have the sexiest looking and going fto about as money is not really an issue just now, probs will be in the future tho lol

Immy, you sure its your first car? Theres been some talk over in the FTOOC forums about a guy called Immy who sold a dodgey modded FTO to some girl on ebay, either that or its a case of mistaken identity!
