Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help here..
My cousin has a 1996 Opel Calais in KL, Malaysia.. and i'm intending to buy it as I know its based on the VR-VS commodores and have always been a fan of them.
SO if i buy it, i want it to look like an HSV GTS...but what should i change in order to achieve that? In malaysia the calais actually has a caprice front end.. and where can i get those parts?
As for engines, the Opel Calais has a 2.6 V6 as standard. I would go for a V8, but high road tax for large capacity engines would prohibit that here in Malaysia. I'll go for something smaller instead...actually I have 1 engine in mind..Toyota's 1JZ-GTE, a 2.5 straight 6 with twin turbos...yummy
Anyway, I would like to hear from anyone on the bodyparts , thanks![]()

Sounds cheaper to find a VR-VS Calasi here and buy it.
Research has shown that men usually sleep on the right side of the bed.
Even in our sleep we happen to be right.

Do you have any bigger pic's.... too hard to tell how much VS panels you need
probably need... Guards, bonnet, VS GTS Kit, interior (good luck with that) and wheels (rare)
