Workshop receives some organising

This weekend was spent organising the workshop area.

Last week I received another green excel, this excel will be used as a daily driver. It is located in Melbourne, so we will bring it back over on the boat and I will put some pictures up. It is registered and in good condition, it is also green which makes it good for a donor car if the time comes where the rally car needs some panels.

Green Excel receives cage treatment

This is the cage out of the old excel we didn't manage to salvage much out of the front half of the cage but the rear part of the cage is going to go in. We need to clean up this cage pictured below put some paint on it and weld it in. I have also started to repair the rear damage to the excel so hopefully that will be fixed and it can be driving on the road shortly. Can't wait till the first event...

Excel Update

Today and yesterday afternoon Aaron and myself managed to replace the cam belt (big job), remove air conditioning, fit drivers bucket seat, removed rear damaged parts, and fit twin 1 kg fire extinguishers, we are no longer entering the motorkhana next weekend because it is north east of Tasmania, which is to far to drive. So our next event is the Multi club khanacross which is located at kellyfield on the 2nd of August then on the 10th of August Multi-club Baskerville supersprint.

The replacement Hyundai Excel

Picked this car up from Targa ace Adrian Morrisby.


This car is alot better condition to my old car except for the rear damage. This has less km's and less dents (not that the dents matter). This will be receiving a cage shortly and all the rest of the gear should just bolt in.

First event is next weekend were it will enter a motorkhana.
