Tassie Calais

[taslucas]

Hi guys. Just joined up and thought I'd start a ride thread.

The car is a 99/00 HBD VT Calais series 2 V8. I recently purchased it from Melbourne and gave it a new home here in Tas.

So far I've only done a bit of maintenance (lower control arms, ball joints, brake pads, fuel pump) but the previous owner has done a lot of work to it (shout out if you see this mate, I'm loving the beast).

Pacemaker tri y extractors
2.5 inch exhaust.

First V8 I've owned and absolutely loving it!!:rofl2:

Hi mate, cheers. Yeah it really is an enjoyable drive! Lowered, stiffened up and on those 20s it's bumpy but sure sticks to the road.
All calais leather interior, full electrics etc and a DVD/Gps unit. A few marks and little tear in the seat but ok condition. Ill get some more pics up soon

Hello again. It's been a while since I've been on and there's not much to report about the commy. It's booked in to get new strut mount bushes/bearings soon and has been cruising along nicely. I was going to post another few pics but I don't seem to be able to do it from the browser on my phone? Does anyone have any tips there? There's no button to add photo...
