Trans cooler line going into the cooler split which made a bit of a mess. Was easier to take the front bar off to replace lines and clean up the mess it made. Also put an L67 cold air intake on.

Calais is still going fine being a reliable cleanish daily. Put my old exhaust from the acclaim on this because the factory system was rusty and falling apart, basically just a 2 and 1/4 cat back with high flow muffler and a hot dog in the rear, just gives it note and isnt loud. Cleaned up the factory wheels this afternoon which turned out not too bad, the clear coat on them is stuffed but im not sure what to do about that yet.

Spokes before, whole side of the car was covered in grass from council workers mowing while it was parked outside of work..

Spokes after

Whole wheel done, no where near perfect but a lot better then they were before.

Over the weekend I cleaned this up and listed it for sale, I put the ad up saturday afternoon, had someone message me about an hour later, and by sunday afternoon it was sold. Got picked up tonight. Just happened so quickly but I guess its because cars like this don’t come up for sale all that often. Im going to miss this car but onto other things now

Last picture as it was leaving..

Yeah it probably was a bit cheap but being it was a quick sale I was happy to let it go for that, I payed less for it 2 years ago, although it was filthy and had a couple of issues. Replacement is an SSZ ute but I still have my acclaim which will never go anywhere.

I love them, they got the Calais perfect in series 2. I would own another but it would have to be factory V8
