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.

autometer boost guage
momo steering wheel

not sure but have autometer guages on bonnet if i get a good price
i need a idea on what its worth thats why i just asking for offers or an idea on price the paint is good but not show quality or anything
got reciept have to dig em out not sure how much definately wont get rid of it for 8 to 10k not with wheels guages cd etc just spent alot on engine internal new tyres etc if i dont get a good offer i will keep it! just interested to see, might get a newer car for work and something i can park at shops etc if i get a good offer or if not ill boost it up mayb biger turbo and drag or drift it have sum fun with it
also lots of spares as this was a project have brand new calais rear garnish and centre spare polished cooler and not sure maybe 2 12 inch xplod sub setup in boot forgot to take pics no amp.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
na think i was just exagerating a bit just a couple spots need touching up its good but not prrrfect just bein honest dont get me wrong its good just not 100% more 99.9%
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
yup pretty much, i pretty much built a bullet proof motor for a big turbo setup but seem to hav lost interest playing with my vl but it can be a quik car its also ported head so put on some aftermarket plenum/extractors and it will fly!
thats why i posted thread im not sure, but pm me a offer.
surely its worth more then 10k fresh forged motor,5spd calais,bb clutch, 19's with new tread sound system and gauges+spares etc
also forgot to mention its engineered for the wheels,pod,some gauges pedals gear knob etc so cops dont hastle me
i have spent countless dollars on this but i want to draw the line where it is and get what i can for it.
mate you gotta have some sorta iea on a price you would like for your car that way we know roughly what you want and can work for there and you dont get silly offers and get insulted
