Greetings all. Been trawling though the forum for a while now thought I better share what all the information sourcing is being used for. Make / Model: VL Berlina, has SL badges for some reason. Colour:Platnium Gold. Engine Type: Nissan inline six. Engine Mods: None. Power: Minimal. Exhaust: Lukey extractors with matching Lukey exhaust. Gearbox: Automatic. Diff: Broken. Brakes: Standard, i'e crap. Suspension: King springs with new shockers. Wheels/Tyres: Silver Holden wheels. Interior: Spotless. Future mods: VL Calais front end, painting it up currently. VL Calais disc brake rear end. Long story short I owned this car, sold it and then bought it back again. Been slowly working on it since. List of what was done is. 1. Repaired damage caused by P plater who bought it. Replaced boot, rear bumper 1 light, centre boot garnish. 2. Replaced shockers and springs. 3. Replaced exhaust system, Lukey extractors with Lukey 2.5 exhaust. 4. Bought a calais front and some 15 inch steel rims. Next on the list is to fit the calais front end and try and find a calais diff set up to replace the current one as its "slightley" broken, that and the stopping power of the standard brakes are lacking. Anyway here are some photos. This is from before I sold the car. This is a more current photo, you get a rough idea of the ride height of the new springs. Cant really move the car at the moment because of the broken diff, as soon as I find and fit another one I'll get her out of the shed and take some better ones. Thanks. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks nice mate. Why are you going to fit a Calais front end? Is that the first step of a full Calais conversion? Because I tried the Berlina w/ Calais front end for a few years, and it's just not quite right. Factory is where it's at. If you're handy you can convert a drum diff into a disc brake diff; have a trawl of the forums and you'll learn plenty. Welcome to CT.

Fitted up the Calais front for it, still needs to be played with to get it to sit properly. Its not going to be turned into a Calais replica, I just like the look of the Calais front end, adds instant meaness. Next on the list is deal with the diff issue and look into a new radiator. Here's a bad phone photo. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Its back on the road. Replaced my centre with a standard one, freebie. Still wanting to put a Calais diff setup on though. Heres some better pictures. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
