Default tr3nts VP Calais International

Basically bought the car last night (thursday night) from a guy..
(stole the template from mischa)

Model: 1993 VP Calais International
Kilometers: 301,xxx
Colour: Anthracite Grey
Bodykit: Standard International bodykit; SS Lower kit, And a VQ Caprice Bootlip.
Gearbox: 4 Speed Standard Auto
Engine 5L
Exhaust Standard
Suspension: Standard
Brakes: Standard
Wheels/Tyres: International Rims
Stereo: JVC Head Unit. replaced speakers, Kenwood sub, amp. (I bought the car with standard stereo components lose)

Current Mods:
Most of the engine has just been rebuilt, not due to needing it, moreso due to the engine being out at the time for a repair. Stereo. VR/S door pods in front, have original ones in the boot at the moment.

Future Mods:
Shift Kit, Exhaust and/or extractors, SSSL's or something. Probably ride on 15" 'steelies' or something to preserve the International rims. respray engine covers, and a few other bits and pieces here. a big stereo overhaul.

Pics (these are the for sale pictures, I'll take some of my own tomorrow after I give it a GOOD wash):

the car is absolutely shmick! I haven't a bad word to say about it. I don't think I've ever been so cautious of other people on the road before lol... I've asked a few people if they have spare 15" steelies.. damn people thinking im going out ripping paches.. simply wanna preserve the Internationals.. don't want people stealing the centrecaps...

Looks in great nick considering the K's

Some new rims would look good.

How much did you pay for this bundle of joy?

I picked her up for just a touch over $6k. I'd only put the silver 'stockies' on the car. The k's aren't toooo much of an issue, cause half the engine and driveline has been rebuilt, and better yet.. I have all the reciepts
