Hey guys/girl, I'm 15 and this is my 1st car, I know there will be people saying why would you buy this when your not going to be able to drive it on your p's, but it came up(been looking for a car for ages!) and dad has put in for some of it (but i dont get away with it i still have to pay him back) So here we go, I found a 1987 VL Calais V8 on duel fuel for sale for a very good price so i bought it. Its stock as a rock its had a full respray which is a bonus! Interior is practically imacculate with no rips or anything what so ever. The guy chucked in a set of extractors but i dont think they will bolt straight up as there longer and dont look like they will connect up to the y-pipe any ideas were i can just by the y-pipe from or will it have to be custom made? FUTURE PLANS: 1) Polish Calais rims(I have seen the DIY of it on here and i will give it a try) 2) Get a set of venitions 3) Get lowered maybe lows/superlows 4) Get full exhaust system 5) Set of rims maybe leaning towards internationals if i have the money. Here are a few pics... If you have any other ideas for me please leave a comment, and let us no what you think. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nice! Even has OG plates on it. The front and rear bars even have the black stripe on them which you don't see alot of these days. I like the polished calais rims idea over the Internationals but both wheels will suit it. Any Engine bay pics?
