The overall plan

[fraggie]

I'll just leave this here... still need coating and will look great


Massive thanks to Jonesie for sorting these out for me

[maid marianne]

So sorry to hear about your nephew

Your car looks great, really hope you nephew gets a great time out in it, it will certainly turn some heads

[MarkV6]

Fraggie..... mate.... that car is stunning

I hope you have a full tank of fuel for when you take your nephew out for a ride.....

Make him enjoy it mate


Just a pity you don't have the 11.5k rpm 500 bhp DTM V6 lump in there too

[fraggie]

Just a few more bits and bobs done

Ordered a new fuel damper, fuel filter, two new rear plate lamps, a new ignition barrel (just in case ) a new oil filler cap and a new fuel filler cap. Didn't come to too much either which is nice!

I got the rear bumper on the car this morning with the mesh all on...


And i decided that the cam cover at the front was lacking in visual appeal... So out came the hammerite...

Before:-


After:-




Hopefully more soon

Looking sweet. Can't wait to see it at a meet. One thing though pal, what i'd do is replace the silly concerteined rubber intake pipe with a nice singular piece of chrome piping. Made loads of difference to that engine with responsivness when planting your foot. Also helps the air get in easier with the flow.

I did this to your engine when it was in my Car and looked like so...



The air filter was on another pice that put it right down into the corner. I'm going to be doing the same to the 3.0

A few new parts have arrived today



New Oil Cap


New Lock And Key Set (Cheaper than getting a new key cut )


New Fuel Cap


New Fuel Diaphragm... Remember This...?


Well...



New Fuel Filter to go with...


New Pollen filter to replace the lack of one!


And my absolute favourite new bits... numberplate lamps


And a few bits fitted in a couple of minutes...






Also my tyre paint has arrived ready for the new tyres Also ordered are opel centre stickers for the alloys and I will soon have the stands for the spoiler to go on... also a surprise for everyone this saturday... watch this space...

[zeebie]

Fantastic! a lot of work has gone into it, i love this thread.

[fraggie]

Well the rest of the bits have gone on today

First off, old lock out...

Then the new one back...

Then the bit I was dreading, up with the car and out with the fuel pump, diaphragm and filter. Didn't turn out too bad...



Oh dear...

There will be more pictures later on... but it won't be of this car... You'll have to wait to find out what its of

[fraggie]

Well there seems to be a degree of tension building about the surprise :p

Here it is... A new car! Another 2.5 V6 calibra. This time in Northcape and one previous hairy ugly owner (Dad :p)











There you go... revel in its purpleness back in a calibra at last!

[Fraggies Dad]
