Just thought i show u guys my pride and joy. Im 16 years old and have a large passion for cars. This in my 1986 vl calais. It is all stock for now, i have just been replacing orginial parts that have broken. Ive replaced rear lights, near badges, resprayed garnish and couple new things in the engine bay. I plan to keep it and turbo it after i get off my p's and keep this baby for life. Take a look and pass some feed back. cheers (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks real neat mate, perfect for a turbo conversion when the time comes! Keep it looking clean and simple and it will certainly be an awesome cruiser!
