Make / Model: 87 VL Calais Series II Colour: Alpine White Engine Type: RB30E Exhaust: 2 1/4 cat back w/ 4" dumpy Gearbox: Standard lazy auto Diff: 3.45 LSD 28 Spline axels Brakes: Disc's all round Suspension: Super lows front/rear Wheels/Tyres: 17" random rims Interior: Clean and all standard, all electronics work Stereo: Kenwood headunit, 4" kenwoods, alpine 6x9s in the rear Updated on: 13/1/13 Future mods: 15" Calais rims, clean up engine bay/ interior, honeycomb grill, RESPRAY! Okay guys, your might remember my red SL I had a thread on, well that has now been sold and I have bought this Calais. The paint is terrible and it has a small amount of rust under the windscreens. All the electronics work (power windows, cruise control) and the interior is pretty immaculate apart from a rip in the front drivers seat and passenger door trim. I got it pretty cheap considering its condition, even the pop-up lights work. The night I got it.. Then I made massive 2 page long list of what I want to do to it and got cracking... the never ending build begins Cleaning the bay up a bit The rust... Starting to strip bits off it.. My 2 babies :P Anyways guys, the first thing on the list is the respray so ill put updates up soon.. Hope you's enjoy this build aswell, all feedback is welcome... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I got the calais for a good price, and it will just as good, if not better than the executive... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Same boat I was in last year, bought a white over silver Calais with stuffed paint and rust. Got it for cheap and was cheering but the same as yours needed full respray and body work, I got over it and threw the towel in as it was too much. Had red interior too . Anyway, now I've got a mint gold exec which will hopefully be the last vl I buy a hahah . Good luck mate, will keep following this build Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
