Thanks, I guess most people on this site are not really intersted in V8 Calais with a Walky kit. I did consider a RB26DETT, but choose the injected V8 instead. Would like to do a VL with a RB26DETT one day though

Very very good work. The paint / wheels and kit come together very nicely. It must be very low with that ride height and the kit by the looks of things. You know turbo 355 is the only option Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

You know turbo 355 is the only option Thanks. Yeah it is very low and sometimes a bit of a pain in the ass� my suspension is pretty hard so only really a problem going in and out of driveways. Oh and speed bumps are a no go zone! But it�s not a daily driver so it doesn�t worry me Yeah the more I think about it the more I think it will be a twin turbo stroker Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
