Finally got my little ute painted. Been a long dragged out affair but am super happy with the end product.

Yeah that looks real tidy. Did you go 2k or acrylic?

Any chance you'll take it up to the Bright Rod run, as I plan to go up for that in November.

Nice what's the crazy camber thing behind your Ute?

looks great bob!, and well deserved too..
will it still be raced at winton or has it been retired from the track now?

on that note hows the race coupe going? havent heard much about it lately?

Car in background looks like an early escort

Yea its a MK1 Escort. Nice Ute BTW :)

Nice ute, looks like a MK1 escort to me! More info on the escort pls!! Whats in your ute??

Nice lot of blokes you are. Put up some pics of my pride and joy and all you want to know about is a dirty old early escort in the background. Any way it is a good bit of gear. Its a later model 2l ohc ford motor (duratec ?).It has a turbo that would be at home in a Mack truck.Pretty sure it is dry sumped.Haven't seen it run in anger but I know it goes like a cut cat.

Hey Ange been a while.Daughter has been running it at Winton so it is still seeing race duties and we still do our motorkhanas and stuff with it.
The Racecar is frustrating. Its been spitting turbo seals like a vietnamese hooker,but hopefully that is sorted (too much turbo oil pressure).Still sorting out brakes,just put in new clutch.It never seems to end.But even after all the dicking around 191 ks at the end of the main straight at winton seems to make some of the hurt go away.

Cheers
Bob

191ks at winton? thats stupidly fast!

i think you should make the trip to phillip island with that crazy coupe of yours!

bring spare undies

yeah Phillip Island is on the to do list.Want to make sure it is reliable and the brakes work before venturing there.
Will take a few pics of racecar soon and do a bit of a write up on it.
