Started prepping my sideskirts too.. half way through a few jobs now! I'll try get some photos of it with the nosecone. Oh yeah.. I can't find the plug for the eyelid motor! are you going to paint it pewter colour same as some HSV's ....................lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I took some new photos today, not the best, but I havn't sorted out a photobucket account or anything so I can't post them. Hmm in another thread someone said the plug is only there in the Calais and Berlinas, my wagon is a Berlina, so it should be there? Same thread also mentioned a Narva relay that can be used to control it though. So, what are thoughts on superchargers? Lol. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

What do you guys think about taking the pinstripes off the bumper trim and that? It didnt have it around the front when I bought it (looks like it had an accident! Shhh!) but it's still around the rest of the car, and looking quite rough.. I think it'll look smoother without the stripes.. but it's hard to decide. And thanks Mike, if this supercharger idea goes through, it'll fit in a bit better on cruises, even though it'll be different. I still want to see how a RB30ET goes hehe. Cruise time, eh..

I'm hoping I can get the dimensions and stuff for the superchargers brackets, then I can just get it all made up for next to cost at the fabrication shop that I work next to. Shouldn't have a problem with it, the guy I work with has stuff made for his guns all the time. Now to sort out those oversized images..

hey guys just a question with the wagons am i allowed to put the battery in the spare wheel well ? as its in the cabin area theres no ventilation so therefore its illegal im guessing ? im wanting to smooth the engine bay and get rid of the battery tray etc.....

To do it you will need a dry cell battery. A Normal battery is too small and to risky to have in there. You can vent it by drilling into the bodybehind the rear bar. To secure your dry cell down I have had a bracket made up. Then have the wiring running underneath my wagon. Make sure you get the right sized dry cell battery as they come in various sizes. Will improve your bay heaps, here's my wagons (In progress) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
