My new 89 VN Calais project

[ShawtyNate]

Don't do a manual conversion for a Calais.. It's ment to be a luxury car not a thrashing machine.. Just my 2 cents.
Oh the roof looks wicked too dude

Defo wont be thrashed. Hopefully ill have it ready to cruise at powercruise.

5 speed vr with reg for $200? If you find another one throw it my way

Haha. Have a 5sp conversion for vs.

Nice work so far. I'd have hidden the wiring for OCD neatness, and not done the T5 though

I love a nice VN project. Take good care of it, they're starting to get rare now! (nice ones are certainly a rarity)

Around here theres not very many decent vns or vrs. I wish I didnt sell minr but ah well. I own a xr6 turbo now haha
