So thats the project that you were keeping so secret from us?

Glad you did.
That looks great.
Well done and nice job.

Thinking about it now, it was hard to build the thing, but it was harder to keep it a secret. Blew them away at the EH nationals in Bendigo.

The body shell had to bave a bend and torsional test done by an engineer which would have destroyed the shell if it did not pass, so lucky I had a fair idea on what I was doing.

Then when the vehicle was finished it went for a final inspection of the seats and seatbelts and got the engineers ok. Then went to Vicroads and registered it as an engineered sedan. No probs.

This is not my supercharged 202 sedan, that is still ripping tyres in it's own right

The limo is powered by a 186 with fuel injection off a VK Commo 202. Cruises very nicely.

Sell ? He He. I think after the amount of time the three of us spent building it, we will want to keep it forever.
