update: first night registered i snapped an axle, so had to pull centre out and punch the broken bit through, re packed bearings two more axles in and off we go again. also got rid of those horrible 90deg joiners off the cooler, and went white rocker cover like me old calais. feels like clutch is slipping slightly so thats next on the cards

swapped the SL for a genuine berlina turbo wagon.wanna keep it fairly stock looking(unmolested). I needa get another turbo hubcap as the previous owner lost one. putting some black venetians in it,maybe a steering wheel and a no holes cooler kit and just drive the thing.
its great to have red interior again also!
let me know what ya think
