VN Calais 5L

[Renno]

Cheers Mate!

When i bought the car initially i wanted to swap the chevoits over with my bros VN Calais rims, but for some odd reason they have grown on me and i think they suit it for now

ur mum thinks otherwise... she likes mine

LOL! Yeah mum hates the Chevoits Damo!

She wants me to get some rims, but id rather spend money on going faster!

i think its time for a turbo , u know u wana do it

Yeah the plan is to go turbo, but i gotta get the rest of the driveline to handle the boost before i go anywhere near a turbo! Hence why a T56 is on the cards next

 

[v8_bomberdore]

ive had my t700 dun up , but im not sure if its going to handle the torque, if it lets go im going to a 2 speed powerglide, i can get one for $600 and it just needs new clutches

 

[Renno]

Id definately go for the powerglide if you can get it that cheap!

Well the Calais is still not on the road as ive had the flu for the past few days

But here is an update on how she is sitting atm...

Finished painting the diff on thursday

Then Gilbs, Rabbit and Simon came over Friday night and we got the diff in, upper and lower control arms in and the handbrake cables hooked up, but only left everything finget tight for now.

^^^Rob helping as usual! :rofl:

This is how she is sitting atm, had a tinker with her on Saturday morning and got the springs and insulators in and did every nut and bolt up.

Now I ran into a problem, where one of the big bore shock did not come with the nut and bushes, so all thats left to do is get the nut and bushes, and then the sway bar and panhard rod can go in and the calais can be driven again

likely to happen by friday? prob come out in mine but im not driving so no taxi option
