Heres some pics and info about my series 2 Vt. Its actually a berlina but the previous owner went to the trouble of badging it completely as a calais. (even has calais badge above glove box). So i just call it a calais to save people the confusion haha. Will get some pics of the interior up soon.
Only had the car about 3 months now. Books say it was purchased from factory by the nsw police force which is pretty interesting. Progress has been slow so far as i havent had the car too long, with only a few mods. But theres going to be plenty of $$$ going into it pretty soon. Hope you like (Y)

Cheers mate,
Yea im not 100% on the body kit. I think its been fitted aftermarket cos it doesnt sit right.
I was going to completely debadge it including the gen 3 badges. but the calais cursive goes well with the wheels and chrome trim so i decided to keep it as is. The body is as i want it, minus the boot holes and a few scratches. But im not doing anything else to the outside except a sunroof. Vented bonnet and a clubby kit wouldnt go with the look im going for.
Might still end up taking off the holden, s2 and gen3 ones tho.
