me and a mate
« on: October 10, 2010, 07:19:38 PM »
we have got our grubby little hands on one of these beauty's, it has only had three owners from new and at the minute it is looking pretty sad for itself as soon as i get it back at mine i will take some pictures, but this is what it will look like when it is all finished , our one has everything that the one has in the picture,but it needs a lot of work but watch this space as new project has begun
its the black firenza  estate

Well im going to disapoint you mate im leaving the slant four 2300cc in there, as this will be worth more standard than being messed with,and it would be a shame as it is pretty original its just needing a lot of welding work, but if i can weld an omega tunnel into a calibra i can weld a few patches into this

aye i know mate but  it will be worth it in the end andi will keep the pictures flowing on this as it will be good to keep a record of it
the lad that we ae getting it from knows how much that it is worth as i have been told that the head can fetch around 2k (so im led to believe ) but i know that there are a lot of good bits on it but i am going to save it as it is rare
