Not bad, I love the sports rear suspension...eliminates the need for anti sway bars

Reminds me of the Austin A7 that Brocky learnt to drive in on his parents farm.

After many months of languishing in the workshop, I fired up the beast today and gave it a caning in the paddock next to the workshop. I had my shenanigans filmed and as soon as I can figure out how to upload the footage, you will be able to thrill to every turn, gasp at the sleek beauty of its construction, soar with every roar of the untamed 200 CID XB engine!
Alternatively, someone could just tell me how to upload this video because at the moment I am having little success with photobucket... |

Yeah if you go to youtube.com, click sign in at the top right and chuck in your gmail details and it will load.
Then it should reload and up the top right you should have upload button, click on that. Youtube is owned by Google so its all integrated with your gmail account |

 Beast Mk IV. The keel for this dreadnought was laid today by my senior automotive students... |

I love seeing creations like this along with home made shooting rigs. That first one makes me want to take it to a skid pan on a really wet day.

The beast has been stripped down to the chassis and next year's senior auto students will try to improve on the original design.
For that purpose, I am after a 250 X-flow and auto or manual in good working order if anyone has one to sell or donate... |

Mr GasOlane, I can see that you require an intensive course of grammatical correctives to improve your vocabulistics. Otherwise your vernaculars may linguistically horizontalise the perpendicularities inherent in the perfidious nature of your obstreperous proclamations...
Now if you want that translated, all you have to do is send one working 250 X-flow to me and we will call our apostrophes even!!! I have somehow managed to delete all the pics in this thread. I work in mysterious ways that even I am unaware of... |

/\ If they were on photobucket and you deleted them there ... then it will delete them from anywhere you have posted them.

Beast update. I had the beast rendered inoperable at the end of last year and had the chassis sitting around doing nothing until some of my year 10 students expressed some enthusiasm in rebuilding a better one. I gave them some specs that I wanted to see in this new incarnation and so far it is looking promising...
The old suspension is gone, making way for a far better design...  Incomplete but getting there...  I had hoped to fit a X flow 250, but it seems I cannot get a hold of one, so I will fit an EFI 6 with 4 speed auto. I have also stipulated that it must have rear suspension this time and I will use a locked diff again... Sorry for blurry photos... |

You do realise, that after next year, you will be Australia's only motor vehicle manufacturer.
