Yeah, cleaning is an issue. When I clean it even if theres no sign of rain, it doesnt stop raining for 2 weeks, and it seems to also be the time i need to do jobs in mt barker and denmark (both 50km's out of albany, each way), and when I dont clean it, its hot and and clear. So to confirm that theory, I clean it twice in one week last month. Last week, and a bit of the week before, we've had nothing but cold fronts coming in.

well here is the latest on my calais wagon/ Not long brought a new motor for it, which i cant wait to whack in. The car will also get a full respray at some stage over the next couple of months which should tidy things up a bit. Still undecided if i should go factory colour or not... opinions welcome. A few things need fixing, but when she is done im sure it will look pretty bloody good. Im not aiming for huge power, just a clean cruiser (for the moment anyway). Got one of those gktech coolers coming, a few other little bits and peices and thats it for the moment. Here are some recent pics i took of the car: and here is the engine, just finished spraying and cleaning it up cheers guys, comments and suggests etc are welcome, ill keep you all posted Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I want to freshen the car up... it does need it. Im getting the bay sprayed too, but still keeping it fairly factory wise in there. Interior will come eventually, but the shell needs a good going over first. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
