I am entering three cars (hopefully) into the Beaudesert Show's demolition derby this September. Two of the cars will be entered in the main derby event and the other car will be entered in the restricted derby, (cars that are fuel injected). All work, except for the paint, has been carried out by my year 11 and 12 Automotive students in order to meet the derby requirements and here is the first 'cab off the rank' as it is almost finished.
I am not expecting this EB to win as the rack and pinion steering can be taken out easily with a moderate hit on the front wheels, as happened to last year's car. It has however, been invaluable as an educational activity for my students. The other car I am hoping to enter into the derby this year is an XB ute. Before anyone faints at the news of this sacrilege, be assured that the ute is in fairly poor condition and there is a distinct twist in the sub frame. I plan to have it painted in the 1977 Alan Moffat colours but may run out of time. I am however, confident that this ute can win the demolition derby... If it's ready in time... The third car in the restricted class is a 2002 Commodore wagon. I will post pics after the paint is clear coated. Last edited by superyob; 08-09-2013 at 08:45 PM. |
