Hey all, my little brother might want to sell his vl but not sure. just wondering if anyone might be interested????? OK, he bought it off an old guy at the start of the year, it was originaly a 1986 vacationer AUTO but he has done a few mods to it and converted it to MANUAL. its white with dark silver bumpers. the paint is starting to fade and has some minor surface rust around the front and rear windows, but the body is straight. The mods are, -calais front lights. bright whit globes, high, low beam & parkers. -calais boot garnish. -full s2 blue calais interiour. dash, roof lining, int. light, centre console, doors, seats ect in exc condition could do with a steam clean. -lowered on pedders springs. -3.45 LSD. with recent service tag. -MX7 5-speed gearbox. (conversion 2 weeks ago) -factory heavy duty clutch. (NEW 2 weeks old) -brand new slave and master cylinder. -turbo brakes. fresh pads. -isotta steering wheel. -BIG stereo. cd/mp3 player (kenwood), custom parcell shelf with 2x6" 3-ways 2x6" woofers (pioneer), 2x6" woofers & tweeters mounted in pods in front doors (cerwinvega) 2x tweeters on inner front pillars next to sun visors, 10" sub in box (cerwinvega), 1x4 channel mp (caidence) 1x2 channel amp (mtx). -recent full service on engine, K&N pod filter. -16" walkinshaw rims. -2 1\2" mandrill bent stainless steel exhaust with high flow cat and custom 3" tip. -extractors. thats about all i can think of atm. he has spent alot of time money and effort on it and as i said he is not 100% sure if he wants to part with it but is open to offers.

Hard to say without seeing it, but from what you said 2.500 - 3.500? which is good for an NA exec these days mainly due to your diff, turbo gearbox and turbo brakes. Pitty its a series one motor. No more because as you said faided paint, surface rust. Pics will help alot.

il take a few pics of it this weekend and post them up. the motor runs really well, hasnt had any trouble with it except the fuel pum which was replaced a couple of weeks after he got it. other than that its smooth as.... just wondering, never put up pics befor??? how do i?????? Also forgot to mention that it doesnt have the original motor in it, the previous owner said that the original motor blew the head on it. the car has done just over 300 000km but the new motor has done almost 170 000km.

Ill have pics up soon. Mate with all that gear in your car calais headlights, interior, mx7 box brakes diff you will make more on your car wrecking it. Just a suggestion

Just a suggestion he has spent to much time and effort on it allready, i dont think he wants to take it all apart again. he did it all himself, diff, interiour, springs ect. and had a friend help him put in the gearbox. he just wants to know if anyone might be interested in it.

Here you go mate. He might get 3 for it. or Gearbox - $1500 Clutch -$200 Calais Headlights - $500 Interior - $500 Wheels - $600 + Sterio system - $200 Exhaust - $200 Brakes - $400? =$4100 just listing some stuff.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i think with that rust, regardless of extras the car has it won't see 2k, but maybe adelaide is different.

thats what i was thinkin because at the end of the day its a vacationer,with a few goodies,u can get clean genuine calais here for 3g's.i think $2,500 and it may well have to be droped from there,most na vls are goin for $1,500 in the paper and online.looks alrite though.

hrmmm very rough, but. amd big but, it has the potential for a easy turbo conversion, its all done bar the motor. wack a cheapo conversion on it and keep driving it, give it a bit of body work and a spray and blam nice car, interior isnt bad, but if yuo really wanna sell, wreck it,.

would be worth ALOT more in parts mx7 is worth 1000 calais front end a few hundred, steering wheel and a few other bits would add up as well

nah mx7 is is worth 200, ill give ya 250 plus postage but,,

Sprigzy, all the drive train was out of that calais turbo i was going to sell you back a bit so you have driven and knoe what it is like, i also go those venetians off ya too. really that went pretty well for what it was too,killa id wreck it though if u want money.

i dont want to sell it anymore, dont need money just want to swap it for a stock S2 calais or if no one is interested il just keep it and finish it off. doesnt bother me, id just rather start off with an original calais.

who is going to swap for a neat calais but?

did i say i was looking for a neat one???? but!!!!

then why do you need a calais? yours is basicly there.... mpt to mention all the turbo gear you allready have.

im going to be putting an rb25/30det motor in down the track, prob gonna get an r32 box bigger brakes and a different diff. just personal preference, id rather start off with a stock calais "key word STOCK" its not just going to be an every day driver.....

i totally understand, mock up's never feel like the genuine thing
