FTO Evolution Roadster

[wraith888]

HI ALL

My name is Marco and I run Fully Loaded Cars..
We mainly build custom cars but also do the day to day stuff like service's, MOT,..etc

Our latest project is an FTO Roadster with will be fitted with an EVO 4 engine and running gear..

I’ll try and keep this thread up to date until the project finished
Feel free to PM if there anything I can help with

THIS HOW I GOT THE FTO




THIS SHOULD BE WHAT IT LOOK LIKE FINISHED



HERE IT IS WITH A LAMBO DOOR KIT FITTED,WE FIT ALOT OF OF THESE KITS BUT THIS HAS TO BE THE WORST CAR TO DO



HERE IT IS WITH THE ROOF OFF









FULL ROLL CAGE WAS INSTALLED









THIS THE DONOR EVO


1 DAY LATER




EVO ENGINE IN AN FTO (HOW COOL IS THIS)



EVO FLOOR READY TO BE WELDED INTO THE FTO SHELL




LOADS MORE TO COME SO KEEP TUNED IN...

Holy st. What a job. Good luck. Look forward to seeing the final product. Will it be 4wd? (And can I have a go?)

Is it wrong to want that?!!! Initial thoughts were Hmmmm slicing a car to make it into a soft top will compromise it rather, but looks like you've sorted that!

Awesome project...
So is it an Evo with the FTO body on top, and full Evo running gear, suspension etc.. ?
definately keep coming with the updates...

Aw come on.

Thats a superb project!

Lambo doors arent my thing, but I know that they are big in the 'scene' still..

Any jobs going?! lol

for a show car they do work, just this will have more than enough go to match for once!

Damn, would love to work with a company like yourselves, not many about that actually go the whole hog rather than just slinging on a bodykit, big wheels and massive install in. The roofless chop and cage are superb

Wow! Love the concept! Looks like a lot of hard work so hats off to you. Should be amazing!

On the downside i'm not a big fan of the lambo doors or the vielside styling (dare i say its a bit 90's?) but fair play all the same!

Did you consider any other bodykits?

I had that pic done a few back,since then I'v made changes and I'm using a vielside kit I'm getting an one off kit made for it

But lambo doors are staying look so good on this car

[wraith888]
