    Cool Calais'dz Ride...

    Getting my Car from the crash repairer tommorow, god damn I'm so excited!!



    Its a Late series 1 Vn calais so it has climate control. Bought it in January & it hasn't spent 1 day on the road since because it has been rebuilt, things included:

    Engine swap with 5 speed (was auto)
    70mm throttle body
    SC14 Supercharger 6psi. Mounted, but no belt yet.
    LSD
    SV Body Kit
    Vp Calais Wheel Splats (De moulded & customised to fit)
    De badged & De moulded
    Custom Lillac Pearl paint
    Vp berlina tail lights & Garnish
    Tint
    New Chrome 17's & Goodyear tryres
    Chrome Vp Calais window garnishes
    Pedders:
    Heavy duty front & rear sway bars
    Heavy duty Link Pin Kit
    lowered springs
    Sports ryder inserts
    Sports ryder rear shocks
    Full nolathane kit - like EVERY rubber underneath has been changed to nolathane - $1200 Excluding Labour - and that was trade price aswell!!!!
    Exhaust
    Extractors
    VT Calipers
    VN V8 Rotors
    Vr steering wheel
    Custom rear parcel shelf
    Xplode 6x9's (rear), 4 inch's front, and 6 inches in vr/vs door pods.
    No deck yet - havn't had time - plus i like the sound of it sooo much...
    Alarm immobilser
    full metal jacket
    Kill switch.

    Paid $600 for her at Damaged Insurance auction in January. The Pics of her are included. She needed Radiator support, slight pull, Lh headlight, grill, bonnett, Lh Guard, Front bar & scoop repair.

    Owes me well 10k plus i'd say, which i know i'll never see again...

    Did everything so far by myself (execpt for respray) which makes it even more satisfying - as I'm sure all you who have built your own rides will agree to.

    Respayed pics will be posted tommorow.

    Dunno dude, but the things just crumble when hit. My friend hit a tree at 20km/h and the headlight was pushed right up against the coilpack.This was a really light hit probably less than 15kmh on impact
