UPDATE 29/04/08

Made a start on taking the 1litre out yesterday after noon and ended up getting the redtop in so here are photos of the conversion..

1st thing, mount arrived in the post..



then went up my mates garage to crack on with my car..














anybody know what this wire is for? its going from the ecu to the starter motor i think? there was an aftermarket alarm on the calibra so maybe it could be that?



Redtop ready to go in now..












towed it home then and i will be doing the wiring and finnishing off the water pipes later on

Bumpers look nice, dont know if its the sun but they look darker?not a fan of the lights, would have left them standard but its your car so aslong as you like them thats all that matters

You've sprayed primer over the wieghts, so when they get taken off there will be an area of different colour .
