Black and white cars both seem to show dirt more than almost any other colour.  >:(

josh, on that vin plate, you will find your chassis number. It will start:

WOL000085

then there will be a letter between K&V. What is the very next number after that letter?
Just curious to see where yours is made.

9?
'Tis the number of the General Motors manaf. plant

9 means it was made in Uusikaupunki, Finland.

GM also used Rüsselsheim, Germany (#1) for the calibra. Being a Holden , I was curious to see if they were made locally.

You have a Calibra V6 with one of two engines. If you post the rest of your chassis number , particularly the letter I mentioned earlier, the V6 bods on here can confirm which of the two you have. ( One of the V6 kingpins is online now so hurry along..)

Ah a T chassis. Means its galvanised ( thats good..) and probably the later 288mm brake discs ( good too  :) )

You may well have the X25XE rather than the C25XE engine, do you see either of these engine codes on your documents?
