Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I know of a couple of VL's in Tamworth that are wagons however I think they are berlinas from memory.

this is a small article i found there is only 1 patterson and cheney car there but its white but it does prove that some of there cars went to hdt for conversion Quote: Originally Posted by Psi_Wagon did anyone on here pick that up? i was about to buy it but it was taken off ebay! i was watching that too, his ph number is at the bottom could try giving him a ring Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Latest progress pics... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looking good craig when are you taking it home

wish i had the money for a respray.. damn it..

that looks great! have you got it back yet? whats next?

i've spotted a old lady driving a bog stock calais wagon, white ova silver. sounded v8 past my place, with a town population of 600 people, we have 2 calais wagon's... nice paint white1 is that the n/a you picked up? thought you were going to wreck it?

Quote: Originally Posted by mulbz that looks great! have you got it back yet? whats next? Probably get it back early next month with the interior retrimmed in original fabric. Then it'll probably take me until the end of the year at least to get it all back in one piece (engine hasn't been looked at yet). When she's all back to brand new (stock) that'll be it. Just driving and preserving after that. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Ben, the register only really lists cars the way they came from the factory, but I do note mods. Thanks. The turbo badge goes on the lower right corner of the tailgate. I'll see if I can dig up a photo. Calais had the silver ones only. The large Holden badge in the top left corner has been unavailable for years now. Best bet is to try and find a good one or repaint the old one. Calais fender badges can be expensive to find in good nick or new (can go for $150+). DON'T get the Rarespares ones, they're crap and nothing like the originals. If you find some secondhand ones where the base chrome is in good shape you can repaint the plastic wings in a bright silver. It won't be 100% but it'll look better than old tatty ones.

I know there is a red over silver VL CALAIS WAGS in the redlands, QLD area, but its got a Walky Bonnet scoop on it and still got the calais mags too
