Hey all
I purchased this 1994 VR Calais 5L few months ago with the intent to build it up while ive lost my licence.
Only way I can explain this car is that when I got it well it was messed up Transmission had lost all gears except 1st, Diff was blown, Engine was on its way out guess that�s what happens when its 288,963 kms old, paint was faded and clear was coming off and I don�t even want to get started on the interior. But the two good things were the body was straight except for RHS front guard and front bar and it just had a full suspension system put through it.
So I got right into it I ripped engine and trans out and purchased a VR SS Engine that had a fair bit of cash thrown at it Forged pistons, double valve springs, crane solid cam, Head work shaved 50 thou, Bigger injectors, etc and a Re-built Irs LSD diff with 4.11s so I put the engine and diff in straight away and pulled trans out to either get rebuilt or get a new one still deciding atm.
I will add some more pics of interior and other things when i find usb cord for my camera.
I have so far added
- HSV 185i chip
- New Standard Leather Interior
- New alternator, battery, starter motor, leads, etc
- BIG sound system
- White walled 20x9inch DUB rims
- Altezza lights
- Extractors and twin exhaust to single.
- Usual little things like gauges etc
Future mods:
- Big engine, trans and diff combo
- Custom leather re trim
- Senator Body kit
- Custom boot install
Car is currently being stripped down to be sent off to be resprayed black and while it�s gone I will organise a new transmission and get seats and door trims retrimmed.
I�ll update as I go so let me know what you think so far good or bad or any ideas u might have on what I should do
Cheers Lachlan
