[phone removed] Description Hi All Time has come to sell my pride and joy, I don’t really want to sell but can’t afford to have 3 cars! Clean Genuine 1987 Holden Calais Series II Bought the car in 2006 as a project car to do the turbo conversion etc with 268,000ks. Put all the bolt-ons on my A6 engine got it running ( high comp turbo setup ), needed a few things for RWC – New front windscreen, New front & rear sway bar bushes and Front Z bar bushes ( super pro polyurethane ), New Tie Rods and Tie Rod ends, New Boot floor from rare spares welded in. Got the RWC in 2008 and drove around like this for awhile gradually doing things, VLT diff, R33 auto to manual conversion, brakes etc. Took the car off the road this time last year, put a genuine rebuilt VLT A8 motor in. Car now has 278,000ks didn’t drive it much, more of a w/e car, so everything I’ve done to the car has had very minimal use. Car has an unregistered vehicle permit for the next 28 days so can test drive Car Has following: Full Rebuilt Genuine VLT A8 motor with receipt VLT Brown top injectors VLT Inlet plenum VLT Exhaust Manifold VLT standard T3 turbo, running stock boost VLT 28 Spline 4 pinion LSD diff, Rebuilt centre ( with receipt ) 2010 and shimmed up extra tight!
