bit of an update. went backwards really fast with the calais, story is, i went to sell my old block to a bloke in melb, he did a check on the block. and tells me the car is still in finance wtf so i ran vic raods again for the 3rd time, they said na its not, so i went to the cops and they said yes it still is ,soooo i then was told not to tell vic roads where the car is so the finance mob cant reposses it. thats why i was stripping the car for pieces for ppl who needed parts as such, but then i had a realisation. ive just spent x amount of money on it and im not goin down with out a fight, so i did some digging, cut a long story short. the finance is no longer on the car, it never was under finance, i have a reciept from the last person who rego'd it. so now i should be rite to go ahead with it again, fingers crossed Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
