lol might help with what mate?

There's quite a bit more cleaning up as well. Patch up the hole in the chassis for when the cooler was installed, get a blue manual surround for the console, get the original gear knob with rubber boot, spray the bonnet and flip ups and get rid of the massive rust around the back of the windscreen.

Gave it a bit of polish today, turned out looking really good. Still undecided on whether to get the bonnet and eyelids painted. I booked in to get the front bar and skirts painted next week so that should be pretty good. Bought two new rear tires, got a roadie today and just been cruising with my older bro all day trying to learn manual before I get my P's . Absolutely loving it!

Thanks mate. Got a fair bit of dints now from the hailstorms we have down in Melb. Pretty shattered

OH MAN that sucks so much balls, very sorry to hear that, your calais is a gorgeous one Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks a lot mate. No insurance either so pretty unlucky But oh well it could be worse.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

sorry to hear that bro i hope it will work out for ya cuz they are saying that there is going 2b another hail storm watch out cuz

you got pics of the damage? i would be shattered!

really sorry to hear i'm always worried about hail storms because last time Sydney had one every car in my family got written off How much damage is there? is it easily fixable? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah I'll have some pics later on, It's not that bad but i can definitely notice it, especially when the sun is shining. It got mostly my roof and a bit of my bonnet. I'm pretty shattered lol. My brother's brand new g6et and mum vz calais are complete rite offs and so is my sisters convertible astra. Pretty shocking. I parked mine around the back under the patio and covered it because of another storm coming but atm the sun is shining so who knows lol but thanks guys Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

don't worry about the hail set back mate it'll work out in the end. What you have there would be a great car even if you paid twice what you did for it. One of the most desirable colours and an r33 turbo gearbox, you gotta be laughing for 2700! I'm a little confused as to the turbo ecu running on an n/a engine? If that's the case you should rip it out and sell it, turbo manual ecus go for 150+ and are no better than an n/a auto one.

Thanks a lot man, Yeah I'm absolutely loving the car and got it at a real bargain but dont have a lot of money coming in and the money that is goes straight onto the car. So when something like this happens it hurts a bit lol. But oh well it's not something we can control i guess. Yeah I wouldn't have a clue mate! Wouldn't the turbo one have a slight difference compared to the NA one?

very nice calais bro! you got her for a sweet price too just get that frontbar resprayed, i dont reckon you need to do the eyelids just yet, (from the pics they came up good after the polish) good luck with her man! have fun ! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Oh dude This isn't the one from out in the country? Diggers Rest I think it was... It's been thrashed buddy sorry to say, 230,xxx is a bit optimistic as when I checked it out the owner told me 270,xxx, I can tell you a few more things about it that you probably dont know if you'd like to know, but its like 1 good thing vs a few bad things. Cheers matey. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

In the mail I've got coming ; - all the badges - Rear garnish - Rear white venitions - XF throttle body. -Got her booked in Next week to get the front bar and skirts painted -Also sold the tacho Anything else i should do? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

rear quarter venetions will really complete the rear. and one last thing its missing..... a turbo car is looking awesome though man, its probably my favorite color VL followed by Silverslate..

Thanks mate. A turbo will come one day Btw got my venetions today and rear garnish. But why arent the stripes white like they are on my taillights? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i wouldve gone black venetians mate, but do follow them up with the 1/4 ones as well. but its all taste. cant see any hail damage from the pics. i know what u mean, i was absolutely ****ting myself when the hail storms came down. it was pissing down and i got....er...stuck? i tried to drive it home and didnt get out my girlfriends driveway.... anyway, car still looks real good. keep it going, i was like you with the minimum wage but you appreciate everything alot more. trust me Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
