I don't know where HE learned to fibreglass like that. But this would be a good place for you to start: http://www.fiberglassforums.com/

thanks guys... it has been a massive project (5 years since ive driven it) but have owned 4 calais turbos now and have decided to go all out finally. i did custom car audio as a job for over 6 years mate so learnt it all there... having said that its not as difficult as it might look.... 1- mixing the resin up right EASY as 2- building the frame which requires good woodwork skills... 3- stretching the medium over the frame (cloth, liycra etc) that bit can be tricky. 4- then matt and more matt and more resin blah blah...... give it a shot you will be suprised and any specific questions ill be happy to help out Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

seeing that boot install made me smile stupidly. THAT is awesome!

nice build man, where u get those radiator hoses from and the connections? they look filth as man cause i got a aluminium radiator goin in soon and those hoses would look sick with it and i also got braided hoses goin from my engine cover(morpheus purple) to plenum so those hoses would finish the look off. ever thought of making a project thread lol? did u use these for the radiator? http://www.earls.com.au/files/496436...ITHOSEENDS.pdf (http://www.earls.com.au/files/4964365372902-ECONOFITHOSEENDS.pdf) http://www.earls.com.au/files/496436...DTUBEBRAID.pdf (http://www.earls.com.au/files/496436642f73d-FLAMEGUARDTUBEBRAID.pdf)

there is a build thread of my motor/body/driveline.... check vl turbo reader rides... calais show car. the radiator lines are proper braided lines (not slip on cover) top one is -16 and bottom is -20 u will need to get radiator modified with AN fittings to suit these and have new thermostat housing and top hose outlet built with these also. just to warn u this is not cheap... the fittings themselves are bout 200 each end and the hose is 170 per metre!! my radiator and top and bottom hose set me back $2600 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

dude dat is some tuff work mate big credit 2 u cant wait 2 c it finished !!!

sick amps. i am running an older version of the v12. also to the guy asking about fibreglassing. best way to learn is have a look at the process and designs on forums like the one provided or elsewhere and then just have a crack. its really a practice thing. start small so you don't get overwhelmed eg some doorpods.

man i can not wait until this thing is finished!! on of the nicest show vl's ive seen
