Narh I sold the Calais to a guy in Palmy.

So does FE2 suspension consist of upgraded sway bars too? Obviously bein of an '87 vintage my original shocks and springs had long gone, but it was certainly no corner carver! Hence the complete suspension upgrade. Yet to feel the effects tho, as the car is currently completely gutted! A wrecker once told me the GTS badge was off a Monaro or something. When i pulled the badge off, it was date stamped 1978 or there abouts. Could be some truth in that?

Colour choice really annoys me too. Before anything I still need to sort my diff out! Should be having a guy look at it next week.. should. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
