Correct Jones, I don't know how thick mine is & it doesnt matter anyway as trying to get it off with the sikaflex will destroy it so I would have to replace it. Scrutineers can grant an exemption if they believe that the underneeth is ok. My club srut said rivets were "illegal" in a floor so I had no hope.

 Hey Stingray,

I think i know how you can remove the floor from your buggy...and wheels...and trailing arms...and...shocks...and...

(for those that don't know - this is Stingray's buggy at Waikerie in 1984 when Glen Taylor owned it...i think)

Some cars from the hunter valley that rate a mention Wes Shadlows Shadrac buggy the car Neville Boyes got his start in with its 2 point something litre VW engine  with great big idf webers on it and big stinger exhaust ( read megaphone!!!!! none of these pussy mufflers cams flap on about ) , always sounded great . The three quick silver rivmasters of Harold Gill, Neville Boyes and Kelvin Page I think from memory all three won  australian titles at some stage in the teams history . Tony Guys mid mounted 8v buggy that later became hedley's no mufflers there either in its early days.

Hi all,

With the current trend towards restoring and racing classic cars for the tarbaby set, it got me to thinking... what would be the 10 most 'classic' offroad cars to be restored to their orignal specs and raced?  And what shed are they currently hiding in?  What condition are they currently in?

A few spring straight to mind:

Craig Martin's rivvy (essential for any-ones list I think!)

Crofty's home built class 2 which continually challenged at Kempsey?

Les's Aus Championship winning patrol?

Bob Mowbrays giant killing class 3?

Mark Burrow's Aus Champ beam car?

Murray Rogers first of the pop-off turbo rivvys?

But these were all before my time.... Im interested in the other cars people chuck in!

G'day All, I have the sister car to Tom Poots and built by him. It is a southern cross mk2 which had its first race at Goondiwindi in 1978 by Pat Collins.(Cams Log Book) I have started to restore the car which has been sitting in his shed for the past 20 years and hope to have it ready for the 2014 season.
