this was secret squirrel project for the volkswagen spectacular in australia thats on every 2 years
So, whoever was at valla most prob saw this, if u didnt, ur eyes must of been painted on.
but, heres a little tale, Brent rang from melbourne wantin to see if i could look at it for him in coffs harbour roughly around 1400kms apart, so i did. a deal was made so i loaded it.
all full of xcitement, calls were swapped an ideas thrown about for puttin a beater engine in it for valla for fun, which was a good idea....
then i had a thought an presented it to brent, take the body an slap it on the oval pan, it runs, it stops, it turns, but best of all, its force fed by judson..
so Macca came over an gave me a hand to body swap, hooked up a tank (raised 1-1/4" to clear the tie rods) an took it for a spin.
brent turned up b4 valla an loaded the cb. due to recent activity an legal issues it wasnt driven as intended at valla, but pushed/towed around for shits an giggles..
at the end of the day, it was for a joke an to raise eyebrows which i can prob say it did.
massive thanks to brent for buyin the cb an been just as xcited to strap it to a judson, prob the 1st an only cb powered by judson in the world.
ray for lendin me his trailer, macca for his scooby doo an given me a hand lifting the body on an off, tom for helpin dismantle it, an ginge for his constant laughin at me an shakes of his head..
an especially bree for puttin up with all my shit constantly...
