After the thread popped up again I went out and fired it up and seems it might have a P/S leak so I'll pull it apart on the weekend looks like a new pump is in order.

New pump? damn...
I just replaced all the fuel breather hoses..... again....
My steering has been pretty average lately, may have to check my pump/rack.

Just found a intermittent wiper speed control for $30 I can't believe how hard these things are to find!

Hopefully pick up my replacement dash next week, it's black so no need to recover or paint and being out of a VQ it also has the piano black trim pieces. I'll throw it in ASAP as mine was butchered by someone at one point in time with gauges.

The hinges are brand new and I'm replacing the bonnet as it has some holes from gauges that it had in it's previous life. Thought they looked alright and price was okay as well.

subtle touches! always make a car that little bit better, especially when its a VP calais international!

sooo..wheres more pics of this? lol

 

[pjdm1980]

It's still packed away, I really want to get it resprayed before I bring it out the paint lets the car down (the pics are a bit deceiving). I've got a new bonnet and passenger guard (both genuine), the guard has a small dent on the front so while I've got the time I'm trying to get all the little bits taken care of.

Made up some stronger brackets for the throttle cable and kick down cable today as the old ones looked like they were made by a blind man!
