i am thinking about giving up on my vl turbo project car i have decided to cut my loss if the price is right so i was wondering what are you guys opinions on what its worth and if any1 is interested for the near future...Its not a original calais but everything is there and works except no chrome strips i have just finished rebuilding the motor profesionally it is decompressed with a solid metal head gasket (not copper) forged acl pistons and forged rods am told they can withstand some ridiculous amount of horses something like 1300 block is acid dipped and crack tested with a fresh bottom end also has a new polished and ported head replaced the old one. it has only done 1000k's so just run in. it has the standard t3 turbo original turbo 5speed box in vgc and 5 puck excedy brass button clutch and lsd diff. the body has no rust whatsoever the paint is new commodore colour white and it sits on 19 inch mags, pedders rear shocks and springs interior is a1 condition blue series 2 calais with sony xplod flip down head unit and 6x9'z . it has a big front mount cooler with 3 inch piping 3 inch mandrell exhaust. i think thats all but it is a extremely quick car and would suit big turbo/ computer and it would be a machine tell me what you guys think i may put photos up later if some1 can host them 4 me cheers. 12 mnths rego autometer boost guage momo steering wheel shortened shifter autometer gauges (new water temp old one in pic) 2x12inch xplod sub setup in boot offers over 10k okay got the links up thanks for the help guys! http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y2...ck/047f16e3.jpg (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y291/uni_chick/047f16e3.jpg) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y2...ck/fbdd4c3f.jpg (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y291/uni_chick/fbdd4c3f.jpg) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y2...ck/3b07aa1f.jpg (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y291/uni_chick/3b07aa1f.jpg) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y2...ck/f5bba4cc.jpg (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y291/uni_chick/f5bba4cc.jpg) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y2...ck/ef4c20d4.jpg (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y291/uni_chick/ef4c20d4.jpg) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y2...ck/7872c109.jpg (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y291/uni_chick/7872c109.jpg) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y2...ck/baf169d5.jpg (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y291/uni_chick/baf169d5.jpg) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y2...ck/6de1c3c9.jpg (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y291/uni_chick/6de1c3c9.jpg) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y2...ck/0c8ba6fb.jpg (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y291/uni_chick/0c8ba6fb.jpg) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y2...ck/75785577.jpg (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y291/uni_chick/75785577.jpg) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y2...ck/4039c9a6.jpg (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y291/uni_chick/4039c9a6.jpg)
