Update .....scored some turbo hubbies and some police rims just need to get some tyres for the rims and tidy up the hubcaps

For now they will stay on until I reco the hubbies and get tyres
I'm tossing up the idea to take the calais gear off and go back to SL spec and maybe later on down the track build a mock calais wag with a nuts 30et

Yeah man will do need to take the front guards off aswell so i can hide the loom. I'll rip into it tomorrow progress will be slow as work is busy with calving and all lol
After debating weather I should stay with the Calais front/sideskirts etc I've decided to go back to the SL look so I've put the eyelids on Trade me not to fussed if it sells or not
spent most of the weekend pulling stuff off/out of the engine bay and marking holes that are going to be filled during the week after work I'll get onto getting rid of the battery tray
Interesting going back to the SL spec, will be weird seeing it without a calais front. I'm wanting to hide all my wiring too and relocate battery. just trying to do it without pulling the motor out otherwise i'll give in to the temptation of spending 10 grand on rebuilding the motor haha
Good stuff though mate, keep it up
p.s. been meaning to ask, what's it like driving with that exedy 5-puk?

It will be abit funny without the Calais stuff on her but I've always loved the SLs sitting on turbo hubbies
5-puk takes some getting use to shes in or out you get some funny looks if your in traffic but for events like Powercruise and nite drags it's good
