15-03-08, 11:49 GMT+10#30 Lmao! Howd you recognize the youtube vid inspired?
That was they day Calais came home, my mates came straight over coz they love Vl's too.
Thought it would be funny to get Dixie's VL turbo song going coz mines an N/A =[
Should be getting a new resovoir tanks for coolant and windscreen jets this weekend coz the old ones have started to deterioate with age.
Will be a slight delay with stereo gear as the new store manager at work can't do the rosters properly and one shift in the past 3 weeks.
Should be cleared up soon though, will take some pic's when its all installed

24-03-08, 11:02 GMT+10#35 Alarm+Immobiliser was fitted on friday and works a charm.
Though its not the nicest noise to here first thing in the morning lol
New headlight globes too, makes a big difference when your driving at night.
Nearly all cut + polished and polished, just have to do one more side and polish the calais rims.
Soundsystem stuff and hopefully venetians will be done soonish.

24-03-08, 20:46 GMT+10#38 Not many of these had the formula headrests, espeacially in red. If you wanna mod the interior dont mess with it too much, maybe just paint the door handles, console lid and T bar surround black to break up the red, neat car man.
