Hi Everyone , Back again with a new account after forgetting my old password (VLCTs2 Sabo) Gold member with a fair few posts , can i link this account with the old? 2 previous builds on here: http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=139445 http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=84061 Swore id never have another VL after moving onto xr6 turbos and skylines but like everyone if you dont have one you want one . Watched the 2014 Vlt national vid and was bitten by the bug again so i jumped on gumtree hoping to find a clean white berlina , but during the local search this popped up and organised to check it out asap as it looked pretty decent , rare and cool imo. Found out owner worked around the corner from where i lived and owner lived 10 mins away and had owned it for 4 years and i had only seen it once during that time , told me it was bought from a deceased estate him being the 2nd owner in his mid 30's. Stock standard condition with faded paint, rust has been repaired at some stage small dint on rear quarter not in a very nice spot and standard cassette player and speakers , Everything works Ac is ice cold no wierd squeaks or rattles , overflow bottle is pretty clean and so is steering resivour all wiring is untouched and running original spark plug leads with 190ks on the odo , missing one hubcap was told when add went up someone rang asking to buy hubcaps alone and sellers wife couldnt understand why someone would want crappy hubcaps , i had a smirk on my face . Anyway everyone likes pics (http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/_20_zps76ebecd7.jpg.html) (http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/_202_zps3d904703.jpg.html) (http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/_203_zpsc2d58f5f.jpg.html) (http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/_201_zps1fb7e320.jpg.html) (http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/1901879_10152266559430120_287373617_n_zps9bfc655d.jpg.html) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks clean As!

Very nice mate. Couldn't you just reset your old accounts password??

Very neat! Will make a mad sleeper! Also loved the old morning blue calais you had!

Went around the parents place and went thru the workshop as knew i had left over parts Found a VL turbo inlet plenum with turbo injectors and i bought a VL TURBO 3TA computer Installed and got it running with standing intake and exhaust . Drives fine atm (http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/6659_10152718370475120_8251691051548263036_n_zps3a7e7c6c.jpg.html) Gave the plenum a paint strip and hit with alum-clean (http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/10659435_10152718370590120_7358824218510433563_n_zpsd226600f.jpg.html) (http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/10636280_10152718370665120_2654083366404364461_n_zpsa99d52db.jpg.html) Need to run thru the 91 octane in the tank and start using 98 , upgrade the fuel pump and reg at some stage . I have a surge tank with 2 VLT pumps or possibly N/A pumps i may run that as i have it if its not to much mucking around. Went to the wreckers and bought new tailight globe holders from a vq stato and rewired the plugs as water had rusted the metal away and the rear lights werent working , sealed up the rear lights with a bead of clear silicone . Im amazed that the headlights work so well with stock wattage globes and one faded chrome lens and 28 year old plastic headlight covers , got to look into a relay kit for the head lights asap. Cheers Mick Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Bro i just realised that silver aero look calais was yours, bloody mint!!!!

Cheers MUS , Been trying to find one VLT hubcap to paint gold as the car only has the metal ring left on the rim. So there is a SERIES 200 gold hubcap on the side of the road somewhere

Keen to see this cruising around

Still driving around with VLT plenum , Injectors and Comp , drives nice i guess its just waiting for the positive pressure. Replaced AC belt and water pump belt , gave it a service . Replaced some exhaust rubbers and noticed the radiator was leaking so found a 3 core radiator and had it reco'd . When i picked it up drivers window wouldnt work. I cannot drive without having my window down cant help but listen out for unsual sounds....LOL , tried a mates centre console switch. Wasnt that so i pulled door trim off carefully which has never been off before need to redo the wax? that holds the plastic on , i read someone bought a new tube from somewhere , gave the motor a clean using the guide on here and adjusted the rail , works perfect now . Dropped over the wreckers to find something similar to VLT hubbie , goodluck i know..... Close right? (http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/10574238_10152608306090120_8677834084889538165_n_zps7b3a7975.jpg.html) Hmmm that wont work , ahwell who wants crappy hubcaps anyway? (http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/10687122_10152723893005120_144015742363639682_n_zpsc1e5b868.jpg.html) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

so im sure thats a joke but if not pull them out! i am the only guy i know who removed my plastic weatherguards on my door cleaned em and re-glued. i went down to a bodyshop nearbye and got a tube of grey stuff that sels em. it was body sealent used on gaps between panels etc. so it stays flexi years on. anyway good luck. i personally hate s200 interiors theyre ****ful but hey the exterior is cool and sleeper as. plus youre making good headway

S1roller , Yes it was your thread that i saw the wax on i will do the same thing. How can you hate on a S200 interior? VN style seats in VLC trim, VLC door trims but Vynal on the top of trims is awesome , no usual arm wear on trim, gotta appreicate that. Seats are mint aswell Ive been slack , havent had time to do a top to bottom detail , hoping to get it on a mates hoist and degrease and Gurnie the underside, Cut and polish paint but im afraid its too far gone and previous owner didnt know about polish or the hazards of parking under a sap dropping tree. But i guess it adds to the sleeper effect im aiming for but will look into getting it painted. My Fav Pic ATM (http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/10698395_10152723898015120_2125353071436455897_n_zps6403ac92.jpg.html) (http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/10302739_10152723898470120_8784430458917308607_n_zps6b703176.jpg.html) When I got the car I removed the number plate covers and threw them out as i was going to clean the car up but no going the sleeper route, looked like original items aswell. ---------- Post added 02-10-14 at 22:26 ---------- (http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/10592672_10152723898205120_7457524704808156526_n_zps64281d6b.jpg.html) (http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/10482522_10152723898345120_3712646492345729404_n_zps9389ba9f.jpg.html) (http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/10418352_10152723897395120_3188403468875683889_n_zps01ea4d73.jpg.html) Last pic was before window went down was stuck down an inch , cant belive previous owner put up with it . Wanted a vl with windups last thing i wanted was electrics but im lucky the drivers window is probly the only one that ever got used , but in saying that i should check all motors and re wax weather shields on doors after i clean out and lanolin the insides, cars had a real quick cut in the pics as the roof boot n bonnet were like chalk Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
