mine was bad, hadn't noticed it until i got a blue sticker
(in vic if some don't know... means ur car has to be towed home)

[HOLDEN-4life]

things i've done
-got rid of all rust in wheel well and painted it with sound deadner
-got rid of rust from around boot rubbers
-painted the hole boot gloss black ( doesn't matter cause carpet covers it )
-cleaned and polished the rear garnish
-stock calais on rear untill i get new tread

PICS
from this


to this



boot rubers all nice now


polished garnish


stokies on the rear soon to be on the front dam hate having no money


what use think so far?

[RpM]

Lookin good Hayden, keep it up Pal, I often find Stockies on the back is the CAUSE of my losing tread... hehehe... seriously though, nice job on the rust etc.

[Car Enthused]

looking nice H4L wat are the other mods on it?? anything else to fix ect??
also like the stockies ;-)

[Andi_VL]

Nice Calais mate!
You have done well.

[HOLDEN-4life]

car enthused = all the mods are what is listed, and what else i gotta do to it not much but just a respray and fix the interior up and she should be sweet thinking of going the same colour for respray but darker not sure yet

andi_vl= thenks mate

[Car Enthused]

<>_<> i knew the mods just thort ya might'ave had more to add

bout time ya sighned up Andi:P

[HOLDEN-4life]

i have more mods to do but nothing really worth saying

[HOLDEN-4life]

CAI is now in

[obt188]

nice car for a first one mate you've done well with the purchase.. and it sounds as though shes comming along nicely with the work your doing..

[NOT-EZI]

how much difference did the CAI make?

[bewshay]

i got a massive CAI with that style too. just that mine is 4" or 100mm all the way!

really makes a diff, plus i got the full exhaust system so it all makes for a good difference!

btw, how did u cut into the body to get the pipe into the airbox?
did u just use a drill and then jigsawed it all out?
