Dont know where to start lol!! Completely stripped the engine bay, seam welded, smoothed and then painted. Powder coated everthing. All new gaskets and seals in the engine and gearbox. In fact just about everthing has been replaced. Bodykit has been removed. Just got the back end to strip and powder coat!
There is a build thread
HERE on Club Calibra if you are interested.
Cheers Steva
