Whilst I do prefer the Calais over Berlina/SL.... don't do it! That car deserves the red Berlina pin stripe!

vote for my car and ill keep it as it is! its still exec/sl spec atm but i just found a place that sells re-pro berlina pinstripe and would need blacked window surrounds to complete the look. when its running i think ill drop it off somewhere for a closed door paint job, my dog ruined the paintwork on the bonnet, boot and tops of the quarters while trying to kill a cat. i booked in a tune today for the 16th of october. getting very close now

i bought another set of convos for the street and a set of et streets. got some stuff on the way from red star fab and heaps of other stuff from ebay. also bought a heap of ally mandrel bends for new cooler piping and new black silicone. i get into hobart next friday night so ill be pulling an all nighter.. tune is 2 weeks away now keen as to cruise Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

wow! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

voted for you man Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

cheers bro et streets and convos are fitted. front runners have no dish so they sit inside the guards mint. cooler piping was done today, as well as pretty much rebuilding a catch can that was purchased from an advertiser on here. ill put in another huge day tomorrow to get it finished for the tune on wednesday. ****s gettin done! ps don't mind the wiring in the last picture, i shortened it all up tonight to pull it up and sit nice with and out of the way Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looking awesome man. : )

Looks good mate, keen to see this thing go! How big et's did you end up going, 295 or 315?

Dropped it off to be tuned yesterday arvo. Front end is fully ****ed up from the strap around the diff breaking when braking to avoid a big stack. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Sh!t man no good. But, it coulda been a lot worse

Yeah if I hadn't of stopped then the cage would have got a work out!

Sh1t that sucks! I feel your pain, my vl fell of a tow truck earlier in the year Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It could have been a lot worse. Was there much damage when it fell off?! I'm selling the truck now anyway. I can use the money for a new 4x4 for work up here rather than let it sit in Tassie. The car still isn't going. Mechanic is having trouble with spark. Problem is there isn't any. Has cas signal just nothing from the coils. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It wasn't too bad. Smashed the front lights and nose cone, mangled a rim, popped a tyre and bent the front wheel well inside the engine bay..

****ing hell, id be swinging from the ceiling if that happened to my car. do u mean the wheel well like the strut tower?

great build mate, try fix up some of the broken links so we can get a good picture of it all. did you build the cage your self? or buy a kit and mount it?

thanks mate, i tried to remember what pictures went where. i think i bought some some stuff off you for it earlier in the year. i did the cage, but then cut the rear half out and got a mate to finish off the new rear half. no updates apart from i absolutely hate it and just want to sell/burn it. still not running, no spark! ill pick it up from the workshop its at while i'm back in tassie next month and see if i can get it going myself.

Spent 5 days testing and trying everything imaginable to figure out why it had no home signal from the cas and then today i put my ecu in another running car and got nothing. Ecu is dead from new! Pretty disappointed and relieved at the same time. I bought a factory s2 ice blue Calais turbo today. It's no show car but its fast for what it's got and its luxury!
