Nice black calais. Looks really shinny in the pics too.
The clear indicators are really easy to put on. Which reminds me I have to change mine sometime, i have the clear ones in a box waiting to be put on.

Hey HARVZ-6

It is in fact a series one, hence the 50LTRv8 name :yeah: The tail lights were on it when I got it and I have done the side indicators. The interior is just classy, I love it. I will be adding some chrome handbrake and shifter buttons soon.

Hey Sphinx

It really is a great car, At the moment I keep it clean using megs waterless car wash due to the water restrictions in the ACT. It is kept garaged at all times which makes it easier, but over all it stays clean for about 2 weeks before needing another going over.

I am just about to buy a claybar and go over it with carlack 68 polish. I will also give the wheels a really good clean, I only gave them a quick wipe with some baby wipes for these pics.

Thanks for the comments :thumbsup:

Tried to replace the seals in the power steering as well as replace the front brake disks and pads.

The brakes worked fine, the steering worked for about 40 min of driving and then stopped (lucky I was driving slow in a carpark). :bang:

End result $220 for a new pump/housing going in tomorrow night
