Looks bloody good, don't forget to get some wax on it, polish on its own won't protect the paint.

Re: Calibra turbo Project x2
Wee update, sorry for the lack of process, been busy working, anyway got the whole weekend, So I got stuck into the silver one as Splinters old car will take time and alot of cash, And I want the silver one up for sale soon, so....
Removed the destroyed drivers seat, As I have decent spare to go in,removed rear bench as soaked through, actually left puddles behind.
Fitted new glove box as old one had no face on it (assuming got stuck in locked position!), Removed face off cassette player with no face for a Cd player I can actually use.Have new speaker grills to fit to front doors. Removed disgusting carpets for a nice clean set (After pics coming soon),, then I came across a problem the underlay is soaked/damp and a general mess, I've started to remove it but starting to strugle, does anyone know if the dash has to come out,, and I'd better unblock the elephant trunk while I'm at it. Other than that interior should scrub up well.

Re: Calibra turbo Project x2
if you want the sound deading out in one piece...you need to remove the dash...or you cut/rip the bit that goes up the firewall and round the heater box
Re: Calibra turbo Project x2
Got the old one out, but I want the new one in one piece, So dash removal on my turbo shell tomorrow then!

Re: Calibra turbo Project x2
Hi folks,sorry for lack of updates,been busy moving house and sorting out yard space for work,hoping to get stuck in asap, having a wee dilema and wild appreciate advice,
Basically the silver one will be an easy fix and I'll be selling it on, Ians old car however is a different story,really don't know where to go with it, needs sooooo much work,and im stumped,don't really want to break,what was a lovely car but I think it needs to much work,, behind number plate is rotten,calipers/discs are shot,has water/oil leaks,misfires/hesitates, alloys kerbed,mismatched tyres,4x4 don't work,,,,bodykit is wrecked,interior damp,that's just the start,
Should I put engine in my track calibra,break it,sell as is or man up and spend £1000s fixing her up?

Calibra turbo Project x2
Kerr , I was in exactly the same position with my cav gsi . It's needing loads of welding & replacement panels then a full respray all of which ain't cheap . I decided to do it bit by bit when funds allow rather than all in one go as I know one day it'll be worth it .
Classic car ownership is an expensive business but very rewarding when you achieve what you set out to do . It's not a case of manning up mate , your just being realistic . Start with stuff you can do yourself , run it in 2 wd if need be , you can buy a 4 wd locking kit for just over £100 ( if I remember correctly ) so thats not looking bad , alloys can be refurbed for about £30 a rim ,good interiors can be bought off ebay etc . Good luck with it mate whatever you decide .
Praise the Lowered !

Re: Calibra turbo Project x2
fix up and sell the silver on and use the cash from that to put ians old car back how it should be just view it as a long term project and not a 2 min fix up
its taken me nearly a year to get the skyline kinda how i want it to be so get the gloves on and make the best of what is left of the good weather
