Hi everyone.

Loving some of the calibras on here :D .

I joined years ago but only just finished my calibra 4x4 turbo so thought i would post some pics.

It started life as a mint 2.0 ecotec but over 6 years i stripped it then painted then fully converted it into a 300 bhp 4x4 turbo.
The shell is totally rot free and the only welding it has had was to replace the bulkhead box section for the turbos tunnel for the prop shaft and prop mounts.
It has just passed its mot so it should be on the road in a week or so. :D :D
