For sale on eBay Australia.
Eeek, and whoah all at once!

[sh0rtlife]

madmax has some competition.....

thats a drool factory for sure...and then some

would LOVE to hear it run

[Colin P]

Yeah, well... Mad Max was a mad Aussie as well, but the bare metal-look duco reminds me of the Back to the Future Delorian.
Even though I doubt this thing could quite get me home before I leave work, I think it'd come darn close. It'd sure make a trip to the video store fun.

D'ya think it'd be worthwhile restoring it back to original kit?

I looked at it & wondered if I could get away with rerouting the exhaust & using it as a saturday night special

Would certainly terrify the local ricers

[sh0rtlife]

id be happy with it as is..well other than sorting out the rear suspension or lack there of

the top mounts of the axle houseing dont look like they would allow the rearend to move much if any thats what i was actualy eyeing

i dont see how it could move more than 1 inch up or down befor there fighting eachother...

think about it....tie your fists together and put your elbows inbetween to desks or a door frame..now try and move your fists up without pulling your elbows in and see how far you can move.......it just doesnt work.......now if those 2 rods had sliders in them yes it would work like your saying but 2 solid fixed rods like that are going to prevent movement....

.i could see however it allowing up and down travel of 1 wheel while the other goes the opisite direction tho

that setup would work about the same as a straight axle front end with a single bolt piviot in the center like what you find on rideing mowers

I am with Shortlife on this one, that rear suspension needs to be completely redesigned.

Yep, it needs the original watts link pivot point, that would give it some range of motion.

[sh0rtlife]

yeah toss a watts link on those 2 rod ends and youd be golden
