Well Licence Will Be Suspended soon For 3 Months So I've decided it would be a good time for some improvements. Such as: Full Respray In Ve Crunch With a Purple Overlay and Perhaps some Blue Flake. Or Maybe Just Black. But Still Over Silver. Im Planning On doing a a Proper Calais Mock So all New Calais Parts (Rear Garnish, Door Moulds, Tail Lights and Original Calais Eyelids). Some New Enginge Parts and work. Planning on a Nice top mount setup and a forward facing Plenum and ect. Dont Know Too much engine wise but working in the automotive industry helps lol. Want To Move Battery Too Boot and Tidy up the engine before respraying. Also After Some Cv8 Trim (rear and front seats) for It. Will Keep Posting When Progress Starts.. Which should hopefully bee soon.

looks like a good project mate, looks like its got a v8 radiator in it though (top neck is ment to be on the other side) so you dont have a massive dodgy radiator hose to. and defiantly get rid of the clear lights

like the colour on it man, all the things i was going to say to do you already said you are going to i.e. full calais style you said you want cv8 trim yeh? just buy some vt/vx seats, will be cheaper and isnt that much to get retrimmed to suit

cheers, I like the colour too but being a spray painter i feel the urge to repaint it lol. I've located alot of things locally, but living in Darwin we dont have a really big car scene so its hard to find most things. Yea i Was looking at a few of them alot easier to find the cv8 trim, but i cant seem to find the dual bucket seat style that the back of the monaro has, but shall keep searching lol.
