Yeah man getting a Hollandia electric sunroof made up to suit the hole in the roof currently - saves chopping into the roof more and possibly damaging the paint

Looking good, wish I had the sort of money you have thrown into it, would do the calais very well. Some nasty rust on mine around the drain near the blower fan, hoping it isn't the end of the car. Silver over MX is what my car is, good to get an idea how it will look once I get the $$$ to respray it. Keep it going.

trust me this car is gonna be one the best and most original looking (within reason) VLTs around. Can't wait to see it finished, should be fun hitting up Melbourne CFC although if I'm drinking i might have to get in Dixie's car.. wouldn't wanna spill VB on that nice red calais interior!
