Well chuffed took dtm for its mot and it passed with no advisories! Quick tidy up then Into the garage until March
Had to take some pics to share, as I think she's super clean underneath (Well for a country where we salt our roads!) Still has original brake pipes in good condition Bushes arn't even cracked/perished and the Irmscher springs are still bright red, not all rusty, been undersealed but I'll be going over it again!

Re: New Calibra Today!
Glad to see my old Cally has gone on to make someone else smile.
I owned her a while ago, I sold her to Alan Duncan who sold it to Steve.
There is a thread on here somewhere and MIG about my time with the old girl
Enjoy
