    how you getting on with the kit?

    I'm on my 2nd kit.....a Les Paul copy.
    1st kit was a Fender Stratocaster copy - turned out brilliant.
    Cool could well be asking you questions! Only came yesterday looks good it's telecaster shape so just been researching the paint like mad as it seems to be most time consuming part. Gonna order wood grain filler and primer, nitro cell paint and clear coat tonight hfully then start the pain staking process when it arrives!

              the hardest bit about it was working out the wiring......coz you've to solder a wire onto the backing plate.

              and the lovely destructions issued in Chinese tells you feck all.

                        Amazing aquisition. Always loved the Calibra, this looks like a hidden gem that will come up really well.

                        Well done mate and a very Happy Birthday to you.

                          It's really solid.

                          It's not gonna take much, but it won't be rushed

                            Car is now running and driving. Old v6 sounds sweet as a nut. Pulls well and not a knock or a bang off it
