I am going to leave it the way it is meant to be stock the only change i have made is a mp3 and speakers but i have still got the original stuff i didnt modify nothing i bought the harness connections from super cheap so i havent cut anything replaced speakers with same 4" front 6" inch rear mate when i took out the back seat to change the speakers there wasnt even a trace off dirt it had never been touched just the way i like it and the way it will stay. ill get some more photos today sometime thanks looking (

Very nice VP Calais mate. Very clean looking car, and a bargain too.

**totq** · 06-09-2006, 08:32 PM

Very nice pick up mate.
I suggest replacing all the shockies - that'll smooth things up even more.

**troy7979** · 06-09-2006, 10:05 PM

yeah i have already been to pedders to get a quote on what i want to be done im going to replace the full suspenion and put a new rubber kit threw it and a adjustable panhard rod

**Madhouse_Dave** · 06-09-2006, 10:22 PM

Hi all
I'm Troys Brother in-law and want to say that in all
the years of buying and driving Commodores I haven't
seen such a good beast. its so clean you can eat
of almost everything. I for one would not buy one
this good as I am known for driving the car and
using it always for everything. I couldn't have a
show beast its either used and used or I cant have
one. I mean they have to be practical and useable.
But this is just a mint baby. I took these photos
of it the other day and was so surprised when
looking it over. when I was told Troy was going
to stick the pics and a write up about the car
in here i was thinking what a great site we have
here to be able to do such things.

**genIIIbandit** · 06-09-2006, 10:27 PM

**wes_v8** · 10-09-2006, 09:39 PM
