Well here it is Lord-Data, the old Calais. In the last 6months I've replaced the alternator (squeaky rear bearing) Replaced the heater tap and top radiator tank - not bad since I've done over 15000k's since buying it 6months ago.

Iv'e fitted 6x9s and a sub, all driven by a large amp, but alas, it looks like the motor in the stacker is on the way out :( Oh well, just the excuse I need to fit an mp3 playing headunit

cheers

Looks awesum mate .. very well done .. I love that you've done the rocker covers as well :)

Shame about the problems, its a good car tho, you've done a helluva lot of travelling in it :)

Sounds like the stereo would kick ass too :)

Problems? Nah, minor maintenance issues. My brothers brand new VY spent more time getting fixed in the first six months he had it :)

Sister in law is heaps artistic, i rekon this is great, but she wants to start it again after the holidays coz she's not happy with the finish.. I'm happy if she wants to, but I love it so far!

I know this is a VT, and i've already posted this on the VT Forum, but since this is the first S/C Engine cover i've seen done, I thought it deserved to be here too :)

Visit my Gallery at VIDGuide to view the rest of the pics, including the nice shiney engine below without the cover!

Those covers look great. Im going to paint mine, but Im thinking of the reverse colours. Main colour Red and lettering maybe black. Car is red so think that could be a real girly colour.
