(not to mention gas and tinted windows!)

Either a SL or Exec. Billy mate looks good, similar to Sav's VL before he made it into a Calais mock. It's clean, keep it that way!

If it's an SL, the Automatic Transmission, Tachometer Dash and Chaser's indicate it's a BT1.

"just" Well the thing is that i have those ****ed up P' plate laws so i don't wanna **** myself over. But on the other hand, my brother in law Jay [PIGB8] is doing the turbo conversion on his calais, and i'll most likely have to turbo it in the end cause i'll just strait up have the turbo bug.
