now the show seasons over.........

by ste_goffy » Sat Oct 23, 2010 10:20 pm

whats the plans for the winter for your cars?

well mine is in need of some tlc.
so the plans are:

1. give it a wash
2. remove the dash board and replace all the bulbs as i noticed there were alot out
3. remove the engine and get the bay back to great condition
4. remove the side skirts and check for the dredded rust monsters
5. break the spare calibra for parts for mine (keep an eye in the spares section/ contact me if there are specific things needed)
6. rebuild the car for the next show season/ summer time

oh and in this time too i have also got to sort the drive so that it calibra has its own space instead of being on the grass at the side of the drive.

come on then let the plans unrole........
