VT V8 Calais
Greetings all

After my wife permanently "borrowing" my VT calais and my EH project rusting away to the metal recyclers this is my new project. I was going to use the engine out of this and put it in my EH, but now I will fix up the stato as my new driver.

Future plans include

Black paint job (using the roll on method)
Lower to FE2 or SL spec
Put gasket kit through engine + full clean up and service
SV 5000 wheels (already purchased)
Leathette over VT front seats (already have the seats) and the VQ rear
Black, grey interior (similar to my, errr wifes VT)
Replace all the worn rubbers/bushes/mechanical parts
Stereo install moved from the Calais to the VQ (with boot fitout)
Various Custom bits and pieces
Manual conversion using a supra 5 speed

Here are some pics
