Does it look as good up close as it does in the photo's?

Ceramic blue is one if my favourite colour
Close up it has some blemishes that need sorting
The worst is a burst seam at the bottom of the n/s door which has caused some bubbling
A mop over and some spray work will be required but overall not bad at all - just a bit neglected

Going to swap the clocks/dials for white ones
Anyone tell me how many bulbs I need to illuminate clocks/oil-volt gauges/computer
Might as well go for 509T LEDs

you need 6 509t bulbs for the clocks and oil/volt. the trip computer takes a different bulb. its a 286 bulb this is also the bulb that fits into your heater panel, unless you have one of the led ones :wink:

Bit of progress with this
swapping the clocks and installing LEDs now finished
Pics to follow when it gets dark
Managed to re-attach to headlining too using the goo that was used to attach a DAB aerial to the rear quarter side window
Aerial roof gasket done

Bit late to comment but is not a 'burst' seam. It is caused by electrolytic corrosion in the joint between the two sill panels. It seems to be pretty normal on Calibras.
