Should have put these up first but this is what it looked like a year ago

wow that looks mint never really liked vls but thats just sick ive always liked the calais wagon's any performance mod's ?????
Thanks no real performance mod's yet only put podfilter,3" dumpy and cut out the cat converter. I'm saving for an intercooler, 3" exhaust and after market plenum at the moment should be in a month fingers crossed
Attended a GM show on Sunday first show that I've entered the wag in turned a few heads lol

Update - I organised a paintball/cruise with some of the NZ vl boys was awsome day but on the way home after dropping off a freind in auckland The clutch decided it had enough and started slipping and smelling bad so I've picked up an Exedy heavy duty clutch and will put that in in the next week or so

Mate love nice wagons!!
yours is a great example!
Ok did a mission tonight and with the help of my brother pulled the gearbox out and now taking the flywheel away to get machined tomorrow and should be all good to put back together with the new exedy clutch on saturday can't wait hanging out to drive her again

looks wicked m8. how did u get your dash smooth? looks awesome
Thanx -with the dash I filled the groove on the passengers side then sanded it all down sprayed some thick filler primer did that 4-5 times till I was happy and painted it with some plastic flex additive also the centre console got the same treatment
The dash is actually sold now but I'm making a new one just need sometime to finish it
that wagons tuff az
I love this wagon!!!
vl's lookin good sikvlt as allways haha
Thanx again guys - I'm doing it up the way I want and it's good to know other people like it too !
I've just organised some stainless strut caps swhould be here in a week or so
Update - I'm all moved into my new job and house. The house has a good double garage all lined so I can chuck the heater on and work on the wagon have taken the front bumper off and will replace the front upper bumper strip as its broken have also steam cleaned the interior which came up real good. So the next step or plan for the next couple of nights/weeks will be to relocate the battery to the rear and move the power steering bottle and still chasing the strut caps lol
Good to hear mate its coming along nicely, iv been thinkin of doin those bonnet struts for a while now just havnt got round to buying them haha
Alarm now installed with a remote boot popper and all locks have been disabled will get around to shave the door locks and areil oneday also Got my hands on a Gktech cooler kit but not to sure which way to go keep the cooler hidden or have a little show beneath the front still deciding on that one![]()
Didn't get to do the relocating of the batt as work got way to busy and had to put the wag back together for the alarm guy to do his thing with NZ Powercruise in November have to get moving and put the cooler on![]()
Awesome vl mate. Are gona enter her in the power crusie. BTW ya dash looks beaut
Show a lil bit below the bumper always looks good
Yeah going to Powercruise with afew other VL mates so there should be a handful of VLs cruising
Hang it down seems to be the way I'm heading - people say keep it stealth but the whole wagon isn't exactly "stealth" looking really !
Brother and I spent last night and this morning putting the cooler on went ok could of gone better pretty tight fit but we got there went with the hidden gktech cooler for now
