Well we've had a bit of an interesting last week!!! We went and got a RWC for it so Cece can get it registered in Victoria, on the way to where we were going the car decides to stall and not start. no light nothing!!!!! too make things worse before we left home the bonnet cable decided to play up and we couldn't get the bonnet open!!! one of our mates came and helped us on the side of the road...... the problem..... a wire to the battery!!! the ******** before hand had just joined the two wires and tape them up...... so that problem fixed!!!! Passed the RWC no problems..... On the way home....... once again it decides to die on us!!!!! NOT HAPPY JAN!! Car decides that it won't turn over...... NO SPARK!!!! So got it towed away to the nearest town and had to leave it there over night... worst night sleep ever!!! Get there the next day... bought a brand new ignition module..... NOPE ....... Bought a brand new coil ..... nope ...... bought a brand new electric dizzy...... so over $300 dollars later and she starts. Have now also replaced the regulator..... Not happy!!! so she shouldn't break down any time soon!!!

But on a better note..... picked up a 650 holley double pumper for her

Bit of a story behind it..... when we went and had a look at the car to begin with the guy was still on his p's. He had a Aussie Pride sticker on the back window and had removed the A and replaced it with his P plate... cece and I had a bit of a laugh and since then decided that it suited the car so she went and got one made up

Nice car mate, we have a VL Calais BT1 that we are doing as a burnout car for my partner. Full Group A body kit too.

One thing I would change though, the engine is a 304 not a 308. Pedantic I know, but you want to be accurate in your description.

I'm not trying to be a smart arse and I hope i do not come across the wrong way, i cringe even saying this but the sticker on the back window looks a little like PUSSIE URINE in that font. *gives self upper cut*

Not sure what the motor is out of but it has all the pollution gear on it hence why it passed a rwc.
