[Sleek Geek]

one owner too i suppose, someone finally selling thier pride & joy !

[EVL_Calais]

Actually I bought it off one of my good mates who bought it off the janitor at school and it had stayed in the janitors family since new. And my friend only had it 6 months.

Ive taken some pics, Ill upload them tomro.

[EVL_Calais]

Ok. Heres a couple of pics, tell me what you think.

Its got extractors and its been lowered. VN struts up front and I dunno whats in the back but it was done properly. ie not cut springs.

I want to get some rims in the next week. Maybe those new maloo ones? Any ideas?

And Ill get the panel fixed soon too.

All mint apart from one panel which got buggered bcuz some lady slammed into it.

So bumper is different colour and I have a few panels that need to be put on and painted on one side. And i have a brand new grill that needs to be put in aswell.

But apart from that its 100%

keep us updated.

[CHRGD6]

very clean....but is it missing the grille between the two headlights?

[vkcal]

I'm jealous!!!!! How much did that puppy set u back??? 5 L VLC with 90 000 clicks, thats a bloody good find!

[EVL_Calais]

Tryna keep the price to myself.
Some minor panel damage on one side from where a lady reversed into the previous owner.

Ive got a brand new grille and all the parts for the other side and they should be all on and painted within a couple of weeks. Already booked it in to the panel beaters.

Only thing Ill do now is get some rims and do a few little engine things. Nothing to major.. and keep washing her everyday ;)

I put my stereo in today. Sounds pretty sweet!

[EVL_Calais]

Oh I got the panel and bonnet fixed today too. Pretty happy with it all actually. Just got to find some clips to get the moulding/trim back on. Went to Holden and they cant help. Any ideas??

[JUNKIE VP]

Did the blokes at holden do a search on the computer nationally or they just couldnt be bothered.
Youd be surprised the clips and screws holden was getting for me when i rebuilt my old VL

[JUNKIE VP]

Try asking a beater. Ask them where they get theirs from or what else you can use.

[EVL_Calais]

Yeah I went to Holden and asked them and bought a bunch of clips. They said they had some others before too but couldnt get them anymore. So I bought them and then when I got home the bumper/moulding clips didnt fit.. the grille one did but not the mouldings. And I went to a beater today and he told me to ask Holden haha. I tried a wrecker too and they said that the only calais they had in stock, had had (thats a lot of hads) a dodgy job (glue) done to stick the bumper on and they didnt have the clips for it. Ill try a few more wreckers and beaters on Monday though.

Wish me luck. And I get my new VY SS 18x8 rims tomoro. Not the ideal rims but Im getting them for cheap so meh. Im running out of cash and I want to keep enough for my cam job.
