Should be entertaining. We'll be driving about 1500km in a weekend.

 

I have some drainpipe, just need to work out how to fasten it on securely.

Might make some yellow plastic flames to sick inside them

Tiger seal?

Result! Just found these!!

 

These will be perfect!

 

3 weeks to go!

Hehe a week and a half to go. Should get the official Gumboot sticker pack today or tomorrow. Tempted to sticker it up and be Lightning McSkoda for a couple of weeks.

Waiting for the finished pictures...

Doing it bit by bit...

 

 

Tyres look great

Looking forward to seeing the finished car.

 

10/10 for effort and practical problem solving

I'm going to have to bite the bullet soon and do the lightning bolts on the side

 

It's starting to come together. I might have to put the lightning bolts on after my daughter goes to bed

 

 

Because racecar

 

Oh yeah...

 

 

 

That looks awesome just need a cutout mouth to cover the grille when your parked up

The event was everything I hoped! 1867km covered in 4 days of which 700 was the rally itself. Great roads, great company and loads of fun.

My car performed flawlessly, even making 35mpg on the drive up!
