Oh, didn't know you couldn't get photobucket. First picture is halfway through installing my intercooler, second picture is it installed, but without front bar (hektik spec), third picture is it installed with bumper. I've just emailed them to you.

E mail got. Looks the goods. Such a difference to the way it was. I really am looking forward to seeing it up and running.

Me too Adz. Patience, precious. After the aforementioned rear shocks/panhard/brake hoses, I'll be getting a 3" catback exhaust, and possibly looking into some wheels (thinking something cheap, like VX SS or VT Internationals). Also, my daily will be popping up soon, so I'll have to deviate some funds into that to get it on the road. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hey mate. Your progress is looking good however I think you should have stuck with OG Berlina spec. Just my 2cents but anyway mate keep it up . Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks mate. Some people aren't a fan of the Calais front; for the moment I'm undecided. I may go back to Berlina, but I may finish off the conversion. A Calais interior is on the way, so there not much left to convert it anyway (has full options now). Rear lowered shocks arrived this morning, and I should be picking a rolling shell this Saturday to strip for parts. Namely 28 spline axles! So I'll be putting my LSD in on Sunday.

Oh look, I just found a million other things to spend $400 odd on.... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

more like 600

Yeah, you wish $600. Get my jacket back and we'll talk. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

fuck u fuckers are like married ..... Kyle kiss your bride .... Tim root your man ..... Hows the car going Tim-o-thy Have u managed to reel off 8sec quarters yet ? build it my son and they will come ......... god im smashed

I thought you were my bride Adz? F*ck, you are trashed... I picked up my rolling shell today - V8 Berlina. Has a disc to disc 28 spline LSD in it, full electrics with grey Berlina door trims, and (obviously) VLT/V8 front brakes/discs, and 1" master cylinder/dual diaphram brake booster. So, tomorrow I'll stripping my diff down (again ), and replacing the centre with my VN SS LSD centre I've had sitting in the shed since forever, and fitting the 28 spline axles. Also replace the rear shocks with lowered ones. All the other stuff from the shell I'll be selling to make a nice little profit on the side. If anyone needs anything OTHER than the axles, feel free to PM me. Edit: Haha, it wasn't an LSD. 28 spline single pegger! Oh well. I bought the car for the axles, and saved heaps on that as it is. Got the rears shocks in, but had difficulties with the LSD - I've lost one of the bearing cups.....going to see if a diff shop can supply me with a new pair tomorrow. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yay! LSD installed. Its all topped up with oil now (Castrol LSX90), and bearing the little "High Performance Differential" tag. Turns out you can buy bearing cups individually, and it only set me back $8.80. I had mega dramas putting the axles in however - the splines within the centre wouldn't stay lined up. Took a few more hours than I would have liked, but its all done now. Sits really nicely with the new shocks, and I'll be completely happy with it when I put the adjustable panhard rod in. I'll post pics of how it sits when I take some more photos (too dark now ). Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Ah crap.....I took some photos, but in my drunken state last night deleted them! Oh well. I'll do it tomorrow. Don't worry Trentus, there'll be plenty of action shots when it finally does get going. In other news, my new daily driver should be arriving tomorrow! '96 TS Magna V6 manual, courtesy of my good friend Mitcham (SIroller). Dude, that name will never catch on.....its too hard to type, like FreZe_dK's name! See? Still got it wrong! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
