Smile Calibra 8v to 16v 1st timer :-D

Hello guys,

well after looking at all the previous posts about restorations, heres one me and my dad have been working on the past 8 months, feedback would be great. Ps this is my first time with such a huge project so I was quite pleased with it.... so far, thanks to all those who have helped me out through the forum with things.

























unfortunatly budget has stopped the respray untill the next pay packet :-D its going to be a deep metallic blue hopefully.

Cheers

Gaz

Hey dude, original bumpers are really cheap on eBay if you fancy an upgrade to improve the looks? Those ones you have don't even fit properly or suit the car so TBH you'd be best off with factory ones!

Nice engine work though, but I'd have gone for the ecotec engine myself
