[1986-1988]

love it mate color looks amazing, dont have any interior flicks by ne chance?

[kalais6]

Cheers for the compliments guys - I've just taken it back from the panel shop with a bit more work done including deleting the aerial, shaving passenger door lock, colour coded door handles and flat fuel filler flap as well. They also resprayed the whole front end, I had the factory headlights reconditioned and a new front LE lip fitted (old one wasnt the greatest).

Interior is stock Calais SII at the moment, will be going full custom in the next 12-24 months



New random pics from our C4C5 event

I would consider buying your complete interior when you go custom if its at the right price.

[kalais6]

thats one awesome colour.

and it just looks so good.

not one particular part stands out. the whole package looks good.


well maybe the speakers in the front doors stand out

[kalais6]

Cheers for all the compliments peoples

Yeah she's a cruiser at the moment - its being built as a quick street car - but that interior will be getting removed and replaced with custom gear

Chris yeah I'm looking forward to it getting finished (are they ever?) bu its taken some big steps as of late so things are really progressing.

And leave my yellow speakers alone lol - they're a quality speaker so it makes up for it

Man weather this car was a 10second streeter, or a stock turbo cruiser, It is still tuff as nails.

I mean a 10second streeter in this quailty is what makes show cars, but imo this is a show car as it sits, well done and goodluck with the rest of the build bro

[kalais6]

Thanks QWiK747, its getting there slowly but surely.

If I can run 11's i'll be happy, 10's i'll be ***n rapt as I've always wanted a legit 10sec street car

[QWiK747]

yer 11 sec is still a very very quick street car man
