    Cheers mate!
    I like it how it is now, But ive got a billion stone chips up front, and my rear bar has a nic crack in it aswell as the skirt is a tad broken around the tow bar area, so wouldnt mind putting the ss kit on it. But money is always the case.

    More than likely leave it and concentrate on my vh :)

    When i swapped the interior over, the calais door cards had the lower door lights, so i had to run from my footwell lights to each door to run them first, then i ran the lower door lights up to the handles :)

    The footwells are run off the interior wiring from the drivers door pillar :)

    Okay so a lil twist!
    I just got myself a L67 with an original 51,000Kms on it and paper work to prove it. :D

    Already has a 10psi pulley which wont be staying.

    Plans are Full tear down, re- gasket the motor from top to bottom, clean it all up, spray it all up nicely of course, MACE lighten rotor pack, new coupler, Yella terra snout, 63mm pulley(19psi), 8rib belt conversion, MACE ported intake manifold, 51mm Water to air inter-cooler plate and setup, delete balancer shaft, Stage 2 crow cam, High ratio rockers and pushrods, New lifters, Power pond 5% undedriven harmonic balancer, Double row timing chain, Headwork, 105 valve springs, retainers and valve locks and all the usual things..

    2.25inch twin full exhaust with rear muffler, twin high flow cats and pacies to top it off with a proper dyno tune!

    Nice pick up matty. Only problem I see with your planned mods is that your keeping the M90. Just ain't gunna make as much power as you may think.
