Newb bound to the Sh*tbox Rally in a MK1 Diesel

[Jack_It]

Slow is good, river crossings, harsh terrain... it's a MK1 diesel, hopefully it can't get that much slower... right!?

I didn't notice skirts, but I'll be sure to check.

I think I've hunted him down via F'book TPR Engineering...? Cheers heaps.

AGAIN

NOT RALLY AS IN THIS KIND OF RALLY:



THIS SORT OF RALLY


Your main objective is to buy crap cars for under $1000, and drive them as you bought them, raising funds for Cancer research.

Thanks all, luckily it's not a rally race, so to speak - more along the lines of Variety Bash, Kidney Car Rally etc, A fundraiser via some of the more remote roads of Australia! have a look at www.****boxrally.com.au if the filters will let you!?



THANKS! yeh, as cool as it would be scraping rail, one river crossing and I'd need a snorkel...

Would be good to be introduced, probably one of the mines engineering places as there isn't anything specific to road cars in town, and I can't say I've spotted a MK1 around... there is a tidy MK2 GTi and a few always parked up around the corner from a mates place, might be him, never know!



Happy to do that! I'd prefer to sell off parts than see them busted up in the middle of far west Queensland, funds will go to our total. It has a Front Apron too... make a reasonable offer and we'll sort something once we get the wreck or parts, or they'll go on Ebay later on.



Again, luckily it's not a rally race, more of a treck with a cause in mind over some crappy roads, looking into 14's with something like a Maxxis Bravo in a 185R14 offroad tyre. We need 2 spares, so considering putting road tyres on those so we can skip across the tarmac on the fronts easier and swap out when we hit dirt further north.

Gotta work out some suspension mods, there are a few ideas out there based off the Golf Country, hopefully I can find a taller strut and spring or make up some lifting plate inserts. We have a few months to think about this at least.

Picking her up Friday
