    Default My early girl

    84 Calais with factory 308 and trimatic. Factory paint, just been dropped on 17s. Ported heads and mild cam so the old girl doesn't embarrass me at the lights (although the 2.6 - 1 diff doesn't help!!)
    Good fun weekend cruiser.

    I'm not the biggest fan of the vk (at least the grille, anway) but that looks good.

    That is a really sweet VK, my nephew used to have one just like it with the 4 speed. Do you have any more pics?

    Cheers for the comments guys. Still have the original wheels but they lack tread - don't know how that happened

    The old tart actually spent 3 years in oz before being imported to nz in 87 by the owner who was in the army at the time. As for the grill, I've got the other style and change it over from time to time, but prefer this one because theres less around like it.
