Forums Forums Dazzz - 2.0l 16v Calibra

Yer more stuff to dring it up to standard.

Ok Stuy, need a favour, booked inot park motors monday at half 10, have a word and pass it please. LOL

ok ok, been shopping on ebay again

here we go, car is 12 years old so as you can guess the leather gaiter and handbrake gaiter are a bit worn so got some black real leather replacements



Also bought a rear numberplate blanking panel. when i sold the last cali, got rid of my ABS (plastic) one which cost £70 new. so thought not paying and i have waiting like a good little boy and have now won a fibreglass replica for the grand sum of £100 and £10 postage.

Winner.

very nice, you sticking a opal sign on it aswel?

like the spoiler matey

That isn't my car, the plate between lthe lights is what i've won, nothing else, the lights and spoiler are not on mine.

Oh I see what you mean now, I thought ye meant the spoiler for some reason, read the fibre glass bit wrong

What would it look like without the blanking panel on?

it's just got a numberplate there

So were you gonna stick the plate? Me not understand is it only for show use or summit? Why do ye buy one?

Ah ok any plans on debadging or getting an opel badge tho?

will mount the numberplate on the bumper, will have to get some lights for it !!!!!

Yer pomp will debadge the back. not changing it to an opel, not worth spending money on badges.

..:::MOT:::..


Fail.


Major work needed including welding and brake lines.

Gutted

Wheres the welding needed, and does it need many brake lines replacing?

was your mate in park that failed it. bummer.

welding is being done right now. floor pan on drivers side next to sill. hold the size of your fist. and the rear driver side arch is being glass fibre filled but not painted by the same guy.

Stuy mate it needs the whole front to rear lines and complete rear set up.

well gutted.

had a quote of £190 for the complete brake lines to be done. but might have to wait until next month now to pay that. not sure of it's good or bad price.

best get myself out and sell my body, wont get much but it will all help

£190 doesnt sound too bad - theres a fair bit of labour there, depending on where the lines route....

Was in Neil or Bill that tested it? TBH If your brake lines are foobar'd (depending how bad they are) - be thankful you just have an MOT failure and not a brake pedal on the floor with traffic to stop for

there not right through but i'm sure they will be if not sorted asap.

is it something that i could do myself to save on labour ????

it was W E Haycock so i'm guessing Bill ???

Yeah, thats Bill

You need a special tool to flare the ends of the lines matey, and if your doing the lines the full length of the car, Ideally you want it up in the air on a ramp as the pipes ideally need to be one piece.

Brakes also aint something you can afford to get wrong...
