Calibra Progress *!= 56k*

[fraggie]

no idea, ive got a feeling its going to be very warm in that garage

they know what they;re doing anyway

[fraggie]

last update before i get my baby back

well today was buffing and finishing today.. the inside pics all seem to be work in progress pics and the ones outside look close to the finished product

Before anybody asks the white stuff on the windows is G3 and not paint so will come off with some washing

Another big thanks to gaz & robin what more can i say?

Here come the pics!
















Im picking her up tomorrow and I just cant wait!

[fraggie]

well shes back in one piece all tucked away safe in the garage

took a few pics before she went away though apologies for the quality though






she needs a good wipe down in the old engine bay and a week to harden and then a little t-cut and she'll be perfection (until the rest of the mods )

again massive thanks to robin and gaz fantastic job guys

[samcross]

MAN that looks good
I love looking through the thread and watching it progress, really good job mate
Keep up updated as you keep the car updated!

[dave87]

Very nice mate. I had my doubts, but you've won me over.

Have you got the decals yet?

[strike-down]

Looks a stunning beast now dude. Fantastic work

[mycarsavw]

Still not my bag, but I can't knock the work that you've put in, fantastic progress.

Please say whatever wheels you select will fill those big hips

[fraggie]

yes they will

[MadduckUK]

you should have censored out the wheels too until you changed them, apart from the weirdness of that its coming along very nicely

[fraggie]

quick update tonight

The engine was fairly well covered in filler dust so out comes a damp cloth

before...

after...


The lights are now out and ready for the clear lenses

Its still there hardening in the old garage and i cant wait until i get to drive her around properly

[Rave]

Looking good, but a bit high? What are you doing with the suspension?

[fraggie]

its being lowered with 18" dtm alloys refurbed in white dont worry, it wont be high when im done

[mac124]

Been following this thread for a while now and i applaud the time and effort gone into the project it must be great to see the finish line. One question though please tell me you are going to smoothe out the bit on the bumper / wheel arch, pictured, it would look soooo much nicer that way, imho.



My picture editing skills areny up to much but you get the idea.

[fraggie]

no you cant as the bump strips on the front bumper are removable so smoothing it in will mean that in the case of a small bump the whole front bumper would need redoing.

[mac124]

Fair enough, shame though as it would improve the (already nice) look a lot, imho.

[fraggie]

just a quick update!

the handles are done (thanks dad) and ive dropped off the headlights for the clear lenses to be fitted and wingmirrors for spraying in the same colour as the handles.

here are the handles...


its a nice deep yellow which seems to match up to the decal swatches ive got quite
nicely!

and the mirrors are stripped down for spraying


still plenty for me to be getting on with next week!
