Richardson & Page Nostalgia Bug
Rod and I are teaming up to put the old mathew Berry choptop back on the track ,for the Nostalgia drags at willowbank on FEB - 20. This is for fun and
to make the numbers up! Rods car, My 2332 scat engine on 48 ida's,Dangerous dave 1800Combi std tranny. I'll post pics as we go on with the rebuild.
If car is ready ,may take to Ettamogah Pub.The car was hailed on many moons ago,so we will be renewing windows all round and changing front bonnet as
well. Plus a fresh satin black paint job.

Glad everyone likes it.
Robo-will get some history for you shortly, but briefly it is the old Volksrestore / Hellbug car campaigned by Matthew Berry and Jeff Unwin.
Wacked 1 - when you hang around guys like Pete Page and Dave Butler you can find anything plus it was being stored locally.
We hope to eventually put it on the salt in SA, but in the meantime will run it a Willowbank every now and then for a bit of fun.

New Pics( 20 Feb)
We made the track with 5hours sleep over the last three days befor the day.Things were getting hard with parts not fiting like they should. The big
problem was the clutch not engaging to stop crunching or no free play,and had to adjust lots to get any gears. (not good).The clutch internal
measurements inside the bellhousing were way out.( kombi bellhousing, late throw out, turbo supra clutch set for type 1).OTHER problem was that we had
to fit windows in the early hours of the morning , open new cal-look rubber kit and found that there was NO front window rubber ( forget windows). So
we decided to go any way and see if we could do something with the clutch at the track ( 12 turn latter still grabbing when foot on peddle) So no
racing but did a little cruzin around the event .GOOD FUN and a cool event to attend !!!!!!Lots of cool cars. Well more work in the Dak-A-Tak factory
shed.

It was a pity not to see it run...but it was good to see it in the flesh.
Let us know when it's going to run
