Introduction - 1984 VK Calais

[Largey]

Thanks project_87.

firstly I'll say I really like wit the Calais rims. Great idea to clean up their look. I'll dig up some pics tomorrow for you, and when I said a suprising amount of acceleration increase let's face it... Any increase from the v6 in my k is pretty bloody surprising I jus happened across them, and have enjoyed them (once I painted over the bummer signs) so thought I'd share.

I'm jus about to start a thread for my vk, been a while since the build so gotta remember things first

I found this on eBay and the store was 5 mins down the rd. ordered them and they were ready two days later. I obviously got the dark ones to match the tint but they're also available in green and clear, I used the supplied double sided tape on the edge and my choice of the fittings included and they work well with no leaks anywhere.

Hi everyone -

My refusal of modern motoring remains ever vigilant and my frustration of sharing the road with today's environmentally conscious, import supporting, latte sipping flag-burners has encouraged me to further preserve the VK and wave the Holden flag ever higher. Club Registration.

Since the last update I've added white venetians, drivers side weather shield, new tyres and club plates.

Hope you all like and thanks for having a look!

Once per week less crappy weather days and you're done.

And looking great in those pics. Makes me miss my old one.
