So the time has come that i finally found a good cheap calais :yeah:

Will go into details over the weekend but as if sits now, how i picked it up last night is the only pics iv got..

Its a s2 88 i think, unfortunatly just an auto 6 but its tidy as, an has leather =D

Dark blue over silver
240*** kms
leather interior, immac condition
even the aircon still works!
The bloke hit a roo a while back n never fixed the eye lid or sprayed the new bar so thats first on the list..
rolling on 17" mags
2.5" sports exhaust

few littles problems the eye lid as mentioned, high beam fuse melter right into the fuse box so i had to jimmy rig an eternal fuse to it n disconnet popup motor because it kept poppin the fuse and it keeps blowing the brake light fuse after awhile :S

Faults at purchase;
popups not working
highbeam not working
Cruise control not working
interior fan direction control not working
interior lights not working
slight miss under load when cold
driver side rear powerwindow not working
power ariel not working

Now,
highbeams working
Cruise works when the trans isnt having a hissy fit making it loose 3rd and skip from 2nd straight to overdrive >.<
Interior fan workins in all positions
interior lights work
miss fixed
Power window fixed

but ill get a chance to sort everything out properly this weekend and give it a good clean out :thumbsup:

That interior looks mint!!!

Outside can use a little tlc but looks straight

Would you prefer later model? lol

the so called s2 had different interior bits like the full headrests and the n/a block had the oil and water lines in the block already as most know..


what do you call them?
