1 stck to plan and do up calis
2put interior from calis to vp(colur that red burgandy colour) and clean up vl

oh and the calis engine is gunna need an overhaul please help need advice and opinions please
calise would be good but the vl is a sexy lady

Sell the VL for beer money that you will consume whilst putting all the calais interior into the VP, or putting the VP running gear into the Calais.

Agreed!! ^^^

Is the calais a 5 litre?? If it is...

Clean up the VL as best and cheapest you can, sell it to fund the rebuild / kit on the calais motor, and swap everything over to the VP, then you wont be too much out of pocket, and have a clean VP calais (mokka)

Unless someone else has a better idea??

What motors in the VL??

Go with the vp calias,if the vl is just a base model dont waste your money on it ,as for the motor just pick a cheap Vp series 2- vr and swap the running gear or hunt around for another vp- vr calias that needs a tidy up and swap your gear out of the old one

[lukieboy]

ok sorry again guys
VP is my daily drive has the vn motor in it(asidefrom intake)
vn calais was the donner car
VL is the car that has been offerd to me

was gunna rebuild the dead vp motor and put in vn calais do up calais body (new paint etc) or swap interior from vn calais to vp then buy VL and do that up

[StockoVRWagz]

Put the calais bits in your VP, you may as well drive around daily in comfort and clean the VL up, sell it and put the money towards buying someones unfinished project. Sometimes most of the hard work has already been done and it just needs a little more to finish.

[lukieboy]

so dont do up calais buy vl then sell vl then buy a another project
all good guys ill just do up the calais and not worry about buying the VL

[StockoVRWagz]

check that nothings been bent or cracked like the chassis rails on the calais before you spend too much time on it, but as you said the damage isnt that bad.

[lukieboy]

chassis is cracked grrrrrrr not by much but shes bent looks like i transfer everything to the vp.........at least ill be comfy every day thanks all for ya advise
