[SirCalais]

[vpcalais6]

You've still got some epic camber happening there dude. other than that, loving the VP - If their done up properly, nice and clean I don't mind them, despite how basic a car they are.

[SirCalais]

i love the rear camber .. i have seen vid of it from behind as it drives and it looks tough .. i may put a camber kit in later but i dont want to lose to much of it

[calais_cruzin]

Have fun shredding the inside of your tyres though! haha

[SirCalais]

im aware of the conquences .. and im cool with them .. the tyres i use are pretty cheap anyway ..

Did you put the VT/VX Calais side badges and HSV front badge on it? I owned a VP Calais about 10 years ago with the same badges on it, and same cracked shitty chrome that you have removed, same colour etc etc. Does the boot leak when it rains?? Would be very funny if that was my old car!! (PS I have always been a fan of the VP Cal)

[SirCalais]

nah badges were on it when i got it ..

the boot does leak a little ( like most early model Commodores ) ..

do you have any old paperwork with VIN number or anything identifiable to see if it is the same??

would be a spin out if it was ..

[hwy747]

I am not sure. I will try and find out!!

That is Nice...
