This is my vn Calais ,it's a extremely slow build but I'll get there one day.
I've decided to change it to a vp Calais because I like it better.
The car will be getting painted red over black/charcoal with new rubbers , lights & Crome strips. The interior will be custom ,so far I have a statesman dash (vr/vs), r34 gtr style seats for the front & the back will be shaped to match.
The engine will be full of performance parts in & out. I'm planing on doing it manual ,but I mite change my mind. The diff will be the Borg Warner (gears, bigger axles, floater hubs, shortened)
This is what else I got planned for the car:
Air suspension
Show wheels (20x7.5 front / 20x10.5 rear)
Mini tubs
Custom engine bay & under the car
Vp ss bottom lips
That all I'm telling for now.
This is what the car looks like now,
I'VE GOT A VERY LONG WAY TO GO BUT I'LL GET THERE

Anything would be helpful
