Want it to be a calais but reality is that parts are getting hard to come by so it may have to be a berlina for now until I get some eyebrows,bootstrip and sideskirts Quote: Originally Posted by NZ_BT1 I still think it needs to be yellow with police rims so you can cook bacon on it Yellow = NO --- Police rims = NO ------Bacon = YES Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Mike what if you took off drum brakes and axles and welded front stubs assemblies (or some thing like that)on so it looked like disc brake rear end and took out crown wheel and axles save towing around extra weight but still look a diff was still under there,just a thought.or maybe change backing plate, swap drum with a disc

Good idea I see what ya mean I'll have a look into it cheers
