Hello CT, like everyone... i have been on here for a while but decided too post my car up now. The guy i bought it off had a 1986 Genuine Calais Turbo but crashed it soo he got the drive line out and put it in a 1988 SL with pop up lights and i put the the Calais Behind on.
So i have owned the car for just over a year now and loving it ! want to doo soo much too it but dont have the money. Soo it will stay stock for a while and be my daily.
All it is,
Genuine Turbo Engine with 214xxx
MX7
28 spline diff
turbo brakes
and the guy before me put the boost on 10 pound.
Ill post More photos up later.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Your right need tail lights and grill already thinking of them next. Got a Calais Garnish on the back now aswell.
And thanks for the clean comments. The paint is actually really bad in person. Clean and wet look wax makes it look alot better then normal then what it is and Pictures make it alot better for some reason haha.
Here is a photo of what the rear looks like now...
And Another photo i like haha
How many guys on here from Bunbury ?? i see some nice Vls around but there always gone before i can say hi.
