I bought the car with 130,000km on it, was 1 owner and has all service books, it was completely stock and the owner had worked at holden his whole life so i couldnt knock this beauty back.

Interior is immaculate and the outside is in very good condition with a few marks here and there, ive also put in vs door pods which i think matched up nicely with the door inserts.

here are some photo's, they are not the best but when i get a better day i'll take some better shots. :thumbsup:

Thats a good buy there! Nice to start with something that hasnt been neglected.
Wheels suit well, u guna keep them on it?
Seats must be comfy since they havnt been used much:sleeping:
So got any ideas for engine mods and more power?

yeh i'll never buy a done up car cos theres a big chance they've been thrashed, every car ive ever bought has been off an old person so i know they been well cared for.

and yes im gonna keep the wheels on there i like them and i think they suit nice, as for power im gonna chuck on some extractors to start with and i wanna start with doing things like thermo's and electric water pump so i can free up the engine a bit, oh and i gotto get one of foamy's tunes to give it that bit extra boost, but later down the track i will look at cam and stuff but that wont be for a while cos im saving for a house.

Very nice indeed. Just dump it a few inches in the back, and that's one nice VN Calais. Well, it's nice anyways, but would be even nicer lower

 

[kniever]

yeh the front is nice but thats what i thought too, the back is still too high, atleast its still not granpa spec hight any more cos that just looked gay

I heard you can gain like 10kw+ from just removing the metal fan, and putting electric thermo's on instead! Maybe get some vt twin thermo's for it.
Also you could get a cam for like $160 and do it yourself!

 

[kniever]

ive never done a cam before so im not sure what is involved, do ya have to remove the whole engine?
