2002 Berlina - EC07EC

[Lex]

Was the alternator easy to take apart

Yes it was easy to disassemble with the right tools (impact driver, one you hit with hammer).
Haven't assembled yet, still at the platers. Pickup next Friday (not tomorrow).

but I know my boy will not keep them polished

This is why had them plated, easy to clean up.

 

[KIWIV8]

Full Manta 2.5 inch system. Installing it under ramps was hard work. Need to get a hoist. It didn't fit as well as I had hoped for the $$$, ended up having to get it adjusted by the exhaust shop.

 

[KIWIV8]

NOS Lights and Grill. Original grill had broken clips. I polished the original lights and they came up ok, but the new lights are mint.

Calais Scuff Plates

Replacement Pillar plastics.

 

[KIWIV8]

New Monroe GT Shocks, New Superpro Bushes, and King Springs SL all around (Tried SSL at back but scraped too much). New Discs and Pads

 

[KIWIV8]

Calais interior. Took a couple of sets to get one good one. Had to transplant the electrics, from one seat to another. Leather on a couple of them is still a bit tough. Trying to moisturize it regularly to hopefully get it back with time.

[KIWIV8]

New HSV Rear facia, with Black HSV badge, (should have waited for the white 3m tape. Can see it a little bit). VY Calais Lights and Calais bumper I picked up. (Was silver). Removed the towbar. Reverse sensor install.

 

[KIWIV8]

Picked up a donor car. Pretty rough, but factory L67. 260km. All I wanted was the engine. Had a month rego on it so was able to drive it home. Had a snapped off bolt in the head. Figure with the leather interior and the exhaust I can recoup most of the money.
