Hey guys. Thought id break the news. Matts beautiful old Calais know as 'DOSEIT' now lives in my garage,picked her up this morning from Hamilton. Shes a bit worse for wear since Matt let her go but ill bring it back up to scratch. Its going to be my daily driver so wont be doing any huge mods or anything. Plains are LSD,R33 gear box,Turbo,mailfold upgrade.As $$ allows. Then bring on power cruise. It did come at the expense of selling my ute but i had to save the VL. Matt was a happy camper when i told him. Guy bought it off was a top bloke with and HJ hes had for 26 years,an EH wagon,VK daily aswell. Catch yas later KJ

Id picked it up just round the corner and we parked Sarahs car at the base while we went to see neice play rugby,and show mike vltgod. id had it 15 mins when you saw me,ha I stopped in at repco Huntly to get wiper blades on the way too,they were poked! ---------- Post added 13-06-10 at 21:28 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by 12maneym [View Post] yea had a small crease in drivers door from where i knocked a planterbox onto it pissed at my 20th. other than that it was pretty straight. Well its got the two in drivers door,roof has bout 4-5 small dents,bonnet has dent from closing bonnet with spanner sitting on inlet manifold,nasty square dent on top drivers guard,dent in rear end beside tail light,tail light was broken at same time,creased the plastic bumper aswell without smashing it which is unusual for VK/VL bumper. Other than that shes not too bad,and these dents arent that bad,im just being picky. Had heaps of awesome comments bout it already,im already avn the problem at parts shops with guys saying theres no such thing as a RB30ET.dumb asses!

DR30's had the FJ20ET (i think), and some Jap R31's had the RB20ET, The RB30ET was exclusive to Holden.
