love the paint job. choice colour. always loved the series 2 calais + interior.

make sure you take plenty of pics of the conversion, its always fun a few years down the track to look back and think how far its come :)

VS Calais II 5L, 98 rodeo v6
lol at the bloke saying he should have left it stock and all that bs about it being an executive or whatever, and saying to putty clubby rims on in, im sorry but those "dorito" tri spoke wheels look like balls. Id prefer a nice clean s2 calais then a clubby. Nice car mate, have a look at mine if you get the chance ;)

Curious, how much did it set you back for the new paint job?

Looking good!
