    Talking Third time lucky, with a SE2.....

    SE2 Calibra. Kind of brought it along side with my partner because I had to make up over half of the funds. It's a SE2 which only 459 were ever made (think that's the figure) and it has the REDTOP engine.

    Here are the pictures guys and girls.

    Plans are to (find previous owners to find out history of engine change).
    As well as, desticker the whole thing.
    Colour code trims/skirts or get skirts.
    Pay attention to small scabs of rust.
    Add a decent sound system.
    Replace front two seats.
    Replace exhaust system.
    Get some afterburners (AS HATE THE LEXUS LIGHTS).
    Decat.













    Comments, suggestions welcomed. There was 14 previous owners of this car - and can't believe how the condition of it is stunning for it's age and the amount of owners, and owning two previous calibra's in comparison. Trying to find some of the previous owners on cc.net to find out about the donor engine that was put in for the engine that went kaput. Mileage on speedo = not true reflection of mileage of new engine, new engine probably around 90k!

    At the moment that is worthy of Barry Boys...

    Add to list;

    Bumpers back to standard
    Change wheels
    Change rear lights
    Remove ironing board from boot

    Then, imo, you will have a loverly calibra.
