Here is mine as of 1 month ago.. Same Chassis, Different Body styles.. As you can see Swampy takes a lot of pride in his work, he did asked me not to post Structural construction photos on the net, I don't think he will be upset with me posting this one as it shows the Basic.. ( Sexy ) lines of the chassis, but there is a lot of inaugural work going on behind the scenes. I have posted this photo is for the benefit of those interested the new look we are going for.  |

Car looks good Old School but i do hope your going to level out the body as so it doesn't look like it doest fit properly. I find the body on the (ugly) 6H looking like it don't fit properly.
Hope to see some pics of it when its finished, would look cool with a quick change in it.lol. ;D

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D And A ready to go Toyota would be nice.. I haven't forgotten though.. $$$ The body was just sat on it for the shot and to sort out the roll cage height, we cut it a little to have it siting down, but it needs a lot more work, wheel arches etc. I hear Bill Is building another one at the moment. Not a rumor..  I don't know who for but it's well under way. |

I agree - I reckno the ford pop tank looks awesome, and if only shane had a pitcure of the nissan v6 that is powering it. thanks for getting those pictures old school, good to see the beast looking sharp again. there is bill peat tank 11m that races with the same corrola style body, les hepworth i think it is. I think I prefer the pop, only cause no one else has done it good luck with the buiild old school |

I thought 11m was a Civic? I'm not sure but I think your right.... ah well
I was supposed to help Mike Stanaway 12a with crewing his first night out but had other things come up... as you do.. Sorry Mike.. Hope he gets out again this season..
I managed to have a bit of a catch up with Ross Ashby on the weekend. Man that Tank is awesome.
I'll keep you posted on the progress as it happens, but it's still a long way off but I am gradually getting the go faster bits together.
Cheers all.

Thanks to Basil and Pallmall some more pieces fit into the jigsaw but then to confuse things I found these two pics which if there were only four original Peat tanks would have to be the same car?! Who was 36r tank, I took the photo at Huntly... does anyone know who bought the 55w... Maybe this should be in the MIA, apologies to those who are sick of tanks!   Found out last night 55w was not bought by anyone - it still resides as 55w in a shed in Otaki. not able to confirm which one it was, but it did arrive with a ford v8 in it, weighing 1800kgs, before being put on a diet and changed to a rover v8. the current owner said it came from up north, Rotorua I think? |

I don't know who for but it's well under way.
