MANUAL Currently Registered? No REGO/VIN Number? - Contact Info Other than this Forum? [phone removed] Description 1986 VL Calais factory 6 cylinder auto maranello red over silver with Hollandia 2 way electric sunroof (factory dealer opt). Converted to turbo manual. I bought this car to do up, I was aware there was rust in the boot & under the front & rear screens/rear guards. When we started pulling it apart I found more rust than expected and it's going to be too much work to repair for my liking so im selling it. Can be fixed but I want to start with a more sound car. There is major rust around the front/rear windows and the boot floor/tail light panel - where boot seal sits. The boot floor & tail light panel have been removed (cut out) and thats where the work stopped. This car would suit parts for converting another VL to Calais/turbo/manual/sunroof, the only thing that has been sold off this car is the dash wiring loom. Has the standard vl turbo setup on the N/A S2 motor - consists of Nissan/garret T3 turbo, factory turbo manifold with oil & water lines, 3" exhaust, factory crossover pipe, factory inlet manifold with factory brown top injectors & rail/reg, factory 3TM turbo manual computer. Converted to manual with the non turbo gearbox (MF5). Calais 25 spline disc brake diff. Calais front - all working, HID headlights. Calais moulds - complete all round the car - no chrome strips. Calais tail lights/garnish/eyebrows/boot mould all there. 1986 cream Calais interior, ok condition - spare series 2 doorcards. Electric windows all work. Calais 15" rims. Drove this for 1 day before stripping it, went surprisingly well for standard boost. After $3000 negotiable, easily worth this in parts but dont have the space. Viewing recommended so you know the extent of the rust. Car is located in Benalla Victoria 3672. Will need to be trailered away. PLEASE NOTE CAR HAS NO TAIL LIGHT PANEL OR BOOT FLOOR IN IT CURRENTLY SO LOOKS DIFFERENT TO PICS. I have brand new rare spares rust replacement front/rear scuttle panels (under windows) and a boot floor available to buyer at what i paid for them. Not interested in swaps for anything, cash only! Any more info required call me [phone removed]
