Wish you would post up the pics full size using photo bucket or whatever.  Bit hard for these old eyes to really check it out

[Piston 304Participant SAVN 5L, VP Inter. View build HERE Member since: April 29, 2015 Posts: 52]

Haha. Its just alot easier to upload attatchments on my phone. Ill update the post with photobucket stuff when im on my laptop next.

Rare birds these things, Nice example 

[Piston 304Participant SAVN 5L, VP Inter. View build HERE Member since: April 29, 2015 Posts: 52]

Thanks, Haven’t done alot recently.

Picked up some fog lights with surrounds and brackets – yet to fit.

Trans cooler – need to fit that as well when i service the trans.

Changed coolant, new heater tap is on its way. That broke haha.

Replaced the front shocks and strut tops – Bilstein and Nolathane, have Nolathane sway bar links to go on also.

Also have some 20″ VE GTS wheels I’m painting to change it up a bit, Wont be getting rid of the original wheels though, they will go into the shed.

Still need a bunch of bits I’ve had no luck finding sadly.

Did get some photos out the front of Holdens before it shuts down, Here’s one of them.

Look after her! They are very underestimated imo. Favourite calais ever (except for the VL )

Been a long time since I’ve posted. (Will add photos later)

Replaced all coolant hoses. Needs a fuel pump and new belts.

Trans cooler is in place but not hooked up.

 

Fitted Foglights.

Went to Holden Dream Cruise.

Painted and Fitted the 20s finally.
