Looking good from what I can see! Fark, I still need to grab that sticker off you, will send you a txt when I have $10 to spare! Getting mine on the road is costing me heaps, so can't even spend $10 haha. Looking forward to checking out the vl's at yours! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Bit of an update.... Was in an accident a few weeks ago and my Calais got a bit messed up... After a bit of a battle with the insurance company I finally got her back and shes now getting fixed and painted! There are a few other minor bits of rust getting removed and a new coat of factory colours getting put on Took a pic today of the progress whilst dropping some stuff off. Looking forward to getting the car back all fresh ready for some summer CT cruising. Will also be putting some new interior bits in got a new rear seat, sunvisor clips and centre console to fit. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
