F king Mint!!!!

Good reply's I like to provoke a bit of thought. I know it just another Calais but i feel i have to do my bit for the love of originality and encourage people to think before modifying a clean example. Original vls will go up in value but buy how much is any ones guess, judging by the members of this site i for one would give my left nugget to secure one of the last nice ones out there. there not rare...yet Love the car. ill spectate

Some mint walky rims would spice it up.

Talk about progress! Can't wait to see this at a cruise

Looking good, car salon? Shop looks familier

Nice car mate,and i think its fairly obvious by your plates that you already have the Modification devil sitting on your shoulder whispering sweet nothings into your ear.

Wow, Awesome looking completely clean calais. Nice to see some simple but sensible mods going on the big girl. Keep up the good work.

Well the car has all been sanded back & prepped for paint/clear & i am in the process of putting her back together FML below are some pics I've posted.. enjoy. [/IMG] Here is a pic of a very good condition LH headlight i got my hands on & installed along with a genuine new indicator also have the RH side headlight & indicator coming this week which is brand new and genuine & i thought id leave the best to last 6 metres of holden calais interior fabric in my original blue Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Unbelievable example. Well done

Guys need your help! what should i do with the rear boot strip & sides? I've got a centre garnish new from rare spares but not sure what looks good. Should i paint them GM Satin black then clear them? i polished the boot strip but it scratches way to easy just by wiping them with a micro fibre cloth if you know what i mean! any suggestions maybe even if you have pics of different ones. cheers!

Chop it up, bomb it the **** out. Nobody cares about your original cross over pipe when you're toasting the rears in top gear on the freeway

Nice to see you back mate. Your other car was one of my favourites. Shame it went missing. I look forward seeing what you do to this one.
