my calibra
« on: October 13, 2009, 11:38:07 PM »
bought her for £150 because of snapped cambelt and everybit happy had a few problems but have been sorted. She's had a whole top end rebuild and wanted to get it running before i started playing with the mods but i couldnt resist on some parts lol. Shes got a few mad point on her that hopefully steve can sort out but shes getting there.
