Hi guys, just saying Hello from the boring, dry land down under.

Currently driving a '94 Supra with the basic handling mods (no rice for me!) and some 245 front rubber with 305 rear rubber, 5 speed manual, with a twin plate clutch, limited slip diff, and has manual rack and pinion steering.
So she's a pig to drive daily.. but ya lose some to gain some right?


Hoping to get a Mustang sometime next year though.

Full frame job I'm thinking, with all the obligatory go-fast bits.


But.. first off - get a Mustang. lol
Plenty of idea's, lots of paper, plenty of pens.
My mind is going nuts.


Anyway, Hi, my name's Martin, and I like things that go fast around corners. :-)

Oh, I also make 1/24th and 1/25th scale models of mostly Muscle, fully mini-plastic fabricated frames, suspension, etc.

Don't have any pictures of the guts, but I do have outside shots lol.

Hoping to sell her soon and get that Muzzie.

Used to look like this: (When I bought her..)

Painted the inserts of the headlights matte black because I wanted to kinda update it without spending 1200 on a new set of lights.. lol

Stock height, but stiffened springs, larger roll-bars, etc.

Nothing fancy, needs some love on the outside, but it's the guts that matter!

Pre '69 Coupe.


Prefer a 65-66 FB, but that ain't happening for under 10 grand in Australia.
And getting a half decent one from the U.S will be a pain.

Nah, just original, old school American Left hand Drive mate.
Got plans to move to the U.S later in life and actually be able to build cool cars instead of being stuck with ridiculously stupid road laws here..
