wish i had some pics of my old parts datto. spun adn hit a tree.... backwards.... pretyy fast. bent it bad enough to dent the fuel tank (which is under the parcel shelf in the old stanzas) adn actually had to use the tractor to pull it off the tree cos it kindof acted like claws around the tree. ahhh the old days... makes me want another basher.

ps the datto still drove as good as ever after that. sold it with my good datto a bit later.

Best advice I can give look at a speedway stock car

Get rid of all glass, strip out door trims etc mirrors, wiper assembly, grill, taillights, headlights if your not running of a night etc

Weld braces from the strut towers to the centre of the radiator support. Also weld in a sump guard.

cheers
Scott

Bush basher's are great, my friend has a farm (near gundi) and shes got a few old bashing utes, its awesome... its just sad when they're cars like commies and toranas, what a waste
Bellow it my bush basher :yeah: aha, nah just something another bored mate decided to put together...

Lmao, fulli sik ride. :p Yeah, we have an old Land-Rover as our bush basher...sadly though it has no brakes and obviously isn't very aerodynamic, which sucks because there's some stuff that i wanna try with a bush basher that's a bit more aerodynamic and has working brakes. :p

And yes, it is sad when you see a bush basher that's a decent car such as a Commie or Torana. :(
