Vk Calais 1985
Firstly, i would like to announce, i have an un-conditional love for VK Calais! :wax:

Bought this baby for $500!
Since purchasing, i have risen the back and front end. I know it looks tuff, but it was ridiculous! And i need to get the rego changed over from vic plates! So it wouldnt look too good haha!

Kms : 250 xxx - But has a reco motor
Engine - 202 EFI
Auto
Extractors
Stock exhaust

since buying the car, i got some second hand springs and replaced em, i have found that the coolant and oil sensors are stuffed as they continue to come up on the dash board! i will replace/dissconect them asap! I have discovered a leak in the trans! not sure if its the belly pan, or a seal! otherwise she drives great and is really reliable (more then my last VL!). Not sure if i need to mig weld a new parcel shelf in! but it seems like it has been hacked away at a little, so i might just have to clean it up! the paint around the windows (black) is a little faded, i will start by sanding it that back and respraying them, i intend to purchase some VL CALAIS rims, polish them, and white wall some new tyres for rego, im going to degrease the whole undernealth of the car, to suss out the trans leak, and degrease the engine aswell, with my swifty high pressure hose!

i have already got a neat deck, and 2x 12inch subs/amp (pioneer)
the car has an alarm on it, but the previous bloke misplaced the remotes! so i may just fit a better alarm, considering i cannot work out the brand of the current one!

the wheels on the foto are WH grange wheels, they were taken off on purchase by the owner before me! hence the retarded collection of randomly assorted 15's!

but yeah, this is my baby.. and for $500 bux, i love her! not gettin rid of her! haha..

future plans:

(rudd payout)

vl calais rims polished / white walled tyres
exhaust
sc14 supercharger ( easy fit )
rebuild motor
custom boot install

chhhhhyea!
