Been a few years since last post! Around 18mnths ago I rolled car multi times at a manfeild back track day which also caused a fire in the boot ,was second to last corner of the day pushing car to its limits on a cone shicane in middle of straight ,it was like I high sided it coming out of shicane and with rally tyres and setup on( was on way to gravel event when got rained out) everything happens so fast and being at far end of track no video footage or pics to knw what actually happend .

18months on and the good buggers at viper classics ( brother and father in laws biz) have bought the Datsun back from defeat along with a few mods . Biggest is that the engine has been moved rearwards 4inchs also gone to rack and pinion steering and boosted brakes ,car also has had a roof and front cut n paste done on it .

long time since last post only been one re build lol , rookie didnt get rotating assembly balanced after replacing a rotor.

Any how learnt the hard way got my shit balanced and away we go.

Iv been pine ing over this all night wanna build one for my 2yo girl

Got the feeling we were the black sheep yesterday !Got ditched at the start (had to buckle my 2yo in to her seat )thought never mind they stopping at windmills well catch them there(no one there)never mind surely they'll wait for us on the other side (nope didn't happen) so we carried on anyway to arrive at pongas pud 45min before everyone else? Then no one talked to us so we left ,lucky the weather was primo other wise it would of been a really crap day .

Don't think well attend anymore oldschool event sence there may b a bad stigma towards inbreed car conversion ,not the first oldschool event were we've got that vibe.

will be there for the drive over saddle see how time is going if i carry on gota milk that cow in the avo, the gravel pit were u meet up in ash somtimess has trucks parked in there in weekends should still have plenty of room tho, my uncle live directly across the road has the mint red old holden one tonner ute and he loves skids haha
