I recently purchased a 2nd gen FX35 to replace my 1st gen. The first gen had too much rust to save and had a mysterious no start issue that was intermittent.
I picked up this FX for what I think is a pretty good price as is. it needed some love, the front suspension was trashed and needed new lower arms, links, shocks and mounts. I still have a creaking that I have know idea where its coming from.
one of the tail lamps was broken, I jumped the gun a bit and replaced the lights with the Limited lights before I took the pic of the broken red one
there was a big dent in the rear cover and a rust spot near the gas filler, these will be fixed in the spring
I heated the dent and removed most of it, I can live with this until I replace the cover
I couldn't help myself so I painted the fender vents

Congrats Jeff. You will have to come up my way next spring or summer. The clear tails look good as do your Work wheels.

You get the vents painted? Or you did it yourself?
I took them out and had my body shop paint them
The fronts look like they stick out a bit, but it could be the ride height, it looks better on the FX50S wheels at the moment

Let the mods begin!
If you still want those springs, I could drop them off around the end of January.
Sounds good, let me know
I will message you in the new year Jeff and give you the date I will be down your way.

Where you driving this in sauga? Never seen it. Are you able to sell the rear stock calipers? Steering wheel?
