Well I thought I would chuck up some pictures of the journey I went through with my car Hope you enjoy them as much as i did building my car I first bought the car for $3000 off ebay in march of 2006, it was an original 1988 Maroon Auto Calais with a sunroof, alarm, imobiliser, window tinting & a Mild stereo system... (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/pozza50/47_12_sb.jpg) (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/pozza50/39_12_sb.jpg) Within a few weeks of having the car I began stripping it down preparing it for painting, I stripped the car completely down everything off and out except the engine and wiring loom... I got a little carried away (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/pozza50/InsideCarEmpty.jpg) (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/pozza50/DashRemoved.jpg) I then started on the bodywork it didnt have any real damage just the usual wear and tear of a 17 yr old car shopping trolly dints and few broken plastics, and rust in the front windscreen, luckily not the rear window or boot (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/pozza50/WindscreenRustFixed.jpg) (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/pozza50/RearWindowMaskedUp.jpg) Then the whole car was Highfilled, It was done in my garage, and then a few weeks later was towed to a panel shop to be painted in original colour (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/pozza50/000_0243.jpg) (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/pozza50/AbrahamSparyingHighfill.jpg) Car was painted in 2 pac door jams and boot aswell, but not engine bay I was extremely happy with the outcome, couldn't have been happier (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/pozza50/000_0265.jpg) (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/pozza50/000_0258.jpg) Car then sat around for a few more weeks it was well into late november 2006 by this stage, but then i slowly started to assemble the car, I retrimmed the interior and painted the dash, VS door pods, vt calais, car mats and a boot install, Bumpers were painted a few weeks after new years, and I managed to find a LE body kit, bit not the side skirts but I think it still looks good (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/pozza50/FrontandRearseats.jpg) (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/pozza50/100_8253.jpg) (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/pozza50/100_8248.jpg) (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/pozza50/IMAGE_116.jpg) Its got the Usual mods for an N/A exhaust and extractors cold air intake, the car is slightly lowered but not too much, maybe more eventually I also bought VS senator rims for it and sprayed them the same colour as the bumpers, Resprayed the black door surrounds and all black plastics, Gave the engine a Service and cleaned up all the rockers and lifters and gave the engine bay a good clean up, Then the car was registerd almost exactly one year after I first purchased it and then I began driving it around on my L's (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/pozza50/100_8384.jpg) (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/pozza50/100_8251.jpg) (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/pozza50/100_8254.jpg) Then My next greatest Achievment was the 5 speed manual conversion which I completed just last weekend 3 weeks before my 18th birthday, So I think I can say the car is 100% finished before I get my license, It worked out well because I didnt need the car for transport as I didnt have a license so I didnt rush anything on it, everything was done properly I would also like to thank everyone on CalaisTurbo.com.au for all your support when I had questions and I hope i helped People out with there problems Thankyou - Paul Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
