So here we are.. I've been meaning to do this for 3 years or such so ill start from the beginning... I picked this car up at the start of 2019, Scraping every penny i had together for it plus some help. Paying a whopping $2000! Shes a 1987 Holden VL Calais, Series 1. Factory White on Silver two-tone. Madeira red interior. With a dealer fitted 2-way electric sunroof. Powered by the bog standard Nissan RB30E SOHC engine mated to the 4 Speed Jatco Auto trans, The whole lots tired after running down the road 330,000 odd KM's It's in need of some love after sitting since 2010 in a shed. Or possibly a shack.. Hmm A trip to wash world was required before anything else. Gave the exterior a water blast, and though to hell with it ill wash inside the boot to. It was that dirty and had enough drain holes.. Once home I wasted no time ripping it to bits. Having owned enough VL's prior i had some idea what i was doing. But no idea what i was getting myself into. The deeper I dug, the more I came to realize this was no quick tidy up and get back on the road, It was to become a full rebuild. Here are some early stage photos
