VE Calais V International / VS GTS-R Replica!
Hey!

I picked this vp up cheap i am going to fix it up and sell in within a week or two hopefully! :)

Car: 1992 VP S2 Executive 137xxxks!!

Engine: Mang V6

Gearbox: T5 Manual

Diff: Standard

Interior: Standard with tacho dash and old cd..

Wheels: VT Clubsport

Body Kit: VP Senator Front Bar , VN Group a Side Skirts , VP Seantor Genuine Wing , VP SS Rear Bar , I Will be picking up a VN Group a Rear Bar & Grill

Suspension: Pedders

Mods by previous owner: he was a nsw police officer he sold it cause he brought a new car.. he was also a mechanic so the mods were done properly
T5 Conversion , Body Kit , Pace maker extractors and mang pipe , Reco worked heads and some other stuff , VR S2 Engine and Box , Wheels , Suspension , worn sports steering wheel.. , Clear blinkers , old cd , etc etc..!

Payed for the car yesterday arvo.. Dropped of at our house 2:10 and by 5:30 I :

Washed it needed a good one its been out for 1 year.. The pics dont show all the grime.. and dust etc..!

Degreassed and hosed the engine and scubbed the bay came out great.!

Washed all the door jams and boot

Air gunned and vacuumed the full interior

Put dash back together

Cleaned windows and Amouralled the full interior

Brought a buffer to bring the paint up

Put new battery in: Stared strait away! after a few months. When it first started it was making a slight grinding and whining noise and sounded loud and weird as #### let it run for a few mins engine light.. Then it stalled then nothing no winding over just ticking and clicking.. and then smoke was pouring and it stunk (still does) of electrical smoke.. STARTER MOTOR! tho it didn't really sound like it but It was the starter motor turning over when it was running! So got the shifter and the engine turned over by hand :D we thought it seized :( I was just going to send it to star steel.. :undead: Now it lives on! :) Now we have to get a stater and fit it and its fine!

That's the few hours i put into it! Pretty productive afternoon i think!

Tommorow i am going to give it a buff and it should be great.!

Wouldn't mind something like that for a weekender. Manuals really liven up the 6's.

It has 137xxxks! Yeah i know but we put them in mums dads name etc.. But there's no limit for un reg cars!

I am only 16 but i will eventually get a dealers licence and maybe open up a small car yard or do it as we are now from home.

Was expecting a shittah and a half! But this thing seems to have scrubbed up to a pretty tidy ride! Hopefully you make a penny or two off it....
