Hi all.....i did a bit of posting on cc but not much,i'm also on Nostalgics and http://www.oldjapanesecar.com and http://www.retro-rides.com amongst others

Here's my 22 (it's in bits now being built bigger better and stronger but is on hold while i sell my Mitsi FTO to raise some cash)

Image

And here's my daily,i wasn't going to do anything but drive it,but it's now about 10 foot lower with some Konig B.Bombs going on her,new exhaust and other bits and bobs.

Image

I've also owned these in the past

And the only pics i have of my old 23

Image

And here's the FTO i'm selling.....my old project and daily which has made way for the TA22

Image

I hope to post some pics up of the TA22 progress so far soon (when photobucket stops being so slow :roll: )

Yeah,the fwd is the only thing that lets it down....it handles superbly for a fwd though.
It was the looks that first attracted me to it,that and the sound of the 2 litre v6 screaming away at 8200 rpm 8) Although with the relatively low power and torque i decided to bang a turbo on it.....now it goes like it should've done from the factory.The FTO was a jdm only car so any outside of japan are imports.

I'd love to get my hands on a '71/'72 Galant FTO.
