87 CALAIS TURBO restoration

[Clinton Thomas Browne]

Vlt build number 3

My April 87 calais turbo

I wasn't even looking for a calais at the time but a mate contacted me and told me he had to sell the
Car due to personal reasons so I snapped it up a dragged her home.

The engine wasn't running due to a server over heating issue and paint was no good but rust free and a immaculate interior

So another to be restored to original and enjoyed, just slow going with 3 vlt builds, a vk ss resto and a vk wagon ls turbo build all on the go
