yeh first car to learn in and drive on my p plates if all goes well.
its gonna be in the backyard for awhile tho need to get money for new shocks and springs as they are shot, rebuild the 5 speed fix the clutch pedal as it has so much play, try get the cluster working properly as the speedo is 10 ks out the tacho isn't acurate the fuel needle is lazy and just fix other bits and pieces. yeh the nudge bar headlight protectors and all the grandpa stuff will come off and it should eventually look decent. the old guy i bought it off has had it for 5 years and has put all the calais stuff in it as he wanted a comfortable daily driver and has found alot of the parts at a "pick a part" near his place.
if all goes well i'll make it into a calais mock-up and if i still have it when i'm off my p's i'll turbo it

they are little pins he put in the steering wheel because everytime he pushed the horn the button would pop off and hit him while he was driving so its stuck there now. i'm replacing the whole wheel because its like jelly from to much sun
