The Painters work in progress Calibra
Ok this is an exclusive for you guys here, i havent posted this on any other site yet .........
This was a normal Calibra, my daily driver, but ive always liked to be different.
Im converting it into a HARDTOP ROADSTER....... Time and money are the biggest issues ...... but heres a few pics to start it off....
How it was.......

and now......


the start of the Hardtop .......

Ive got a long way to go and im hoping to have it all done asap!
