Quote: 12maneym na no pics of the Simmons on yet. sorry. Quote: PSI-EFI 3 good years of no service or check up, it all led up to a seal or pump something along the lines of that. giving way and smashed up my 3rd gear and damaging the top neck of the stall converter and that also had to be repaired. so i ended up with a full rebuild again. haven't done anything for weeks now been getting small cash jobs. that i cant say no too ill try to get some updates soon Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Good job bro , its come a long way since you came past mine haha keep up the good work!

hello again fellers since of a few months ago me and my partner have bought a house, just been a bit busy now not much has happened, as theres always a tidy up with a few things around the joint. but yes there has been some progress on the calais as i will be getting it ready for summer nats for the new year. ill be going up with SIroller ( mitchem ) few things so far. club plates, sunroof, and painted moulds, also i did polish my car and it came up pretty good. just a couple of snaps. dont mind the state of the art green carpet but that will do for now. also paint starting to peel on the roof i am not so happy but the result came out good for the age of paint. pictures have not been edited at all there just off my galaxy note, ohh i brought some vx r8's for an everyday rim. too i am in the process of spraying the rear calais black mould up top and soon that will be up too, always an imperfection after painting them as its my 3rd go at it. gets frustrating after a while, cheers Selo Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I've always loved this thing uve done a top job Sunroof is mint too..and those rims r a nice looking with ur colour

How much to put the sunroof in and who did it? Car looks mint by the way!

thanks fellers well sunroof was done in The Sunroof Centre in Noble Park. $2250 installed new also in need of a car trailer for 7 days. anyone know of someone i can hire off, would be appreciated if around vic/eastern side. selo. ---------- Post added 22-12-14 at 23:54 ---------- few more progress shots from last weekend past. i ended up getting some badges and bonnet vents from reah spares, $162.00 latter, also first time experience owning a turbo badge also the calais, soon to be placed with one :P why not a new turbo badge. got the idea off Quote: BigM22 to use some sort of pin to hold the molds in place, i ended up using plastic forks, works great. thanks mate front and back got a good clean up before fitting some bars and molds on . the gunk on the rear taillight got cleaned and the gap between the top moulds and tail lights got cleaned, also re-blacking the front center section. Touch up paint from autobarn $14.00 did wonders as i covered up all the revealed scratchers and bare steel bits that would prob rust, but i do think the car did get a close door respray in some time of its life, as there is over spray in some areas. Rear L&R eyebrow moulds also sides and lower calais molds, as the original paint was revealed underneath you can see it in the polishing stages they were never taken off. You can see the line of the spray being revealed once again sorry there is a lot of pics i did get carried away. cheers Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Duck it I'm getting a sunroof!

not sure with the wagons as me and mitch were trying to locate it on his wagon i think the aluminum roof racks may be in the way, maybe you could shorten them. yeah man can't go wrong with one. awesome for summer days, cruse weather,

Awesome mate! Glad to see the pins helped too! She's looking the goods, hopefully some cruises are organised some, hanging to get out there!

bigM22, cruises are a bit dead selo an i are mostly hitting local chrome bumper and static stuff nowadays. theres a few vl cruise pages on facebook. but lots of low quality cars generally. keep an eye on vl facebook sites.

todays process front bar is the the best so far as there is no gap between top moulds and bumper. took me a good day and a half for alignment 10mm here 10mm there, file that, washer here grind that cut this. to perfection. rear bumper was ok not too hard. the door molds on the other hand was a bit fiddly, but i thought id take longer that i expected. i did use fiberglass lower calais moulds however they are quite ok but they need a lot of prep before paint compared to the originals as the painter missed a lot of small imperfection. but hey nothings perfect. tape and sikaflex Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Mint as mate

Great attention to detail! Bloody vl front bumpers are a dark art to aligned properly lol

looking good selo!!! those front bars are nightmares to fit. can't wait to see it out again
