Plus the amount of fun times I've had in the vl calias turbo it would be a part of my life selling away, I just can't do it, it means to much to me. I'm sure you'll understand. I see allot of threads saying "the day I regret selling my VL calais turbo". My ambition is now to redo the vl calais turbo manual into a show car.

Expect to pay at least 10k. Body condition will make a difference. Best way to go is do all the prep work, or have it done as a backyardie. Than just pay for a wet rub, blow, and booth time. My old tradie even sourced the paint from PPG directly to save him costs. What has been said is all true. You pay for what you get. Do it once do it right You defiantly would regret selling her............

I payed 7500-8k for mine and don't have any complaints at all, I really can't pick a fault besides one tiny run on the underside of the bonnet. Ps. That was engine bay completely smoothed, battery tray removed and all holes welded up.
