Hello all,

Well I've been given the opportunity by the wife to have a go on a limited budget. I am from the Gippsland region of Victoria.

Previously I became involved in rallying through officiating. Road Closures, Passage Controls, Start and Finish Controls and one attempt in a Novice Rally with the wife calling the shots (Ann-Marie you did well) didn't amount to the opportunity I was given at East Gippsland Stages in Victoria. Driving as SWEEP. Two cars later I was HOOKED. Both mine.

At present pulling apart a 5/97 3dr. Stolen and burnt but not burnt well enough to hide the finger prints.
I'm replacing parts off another 5/97 3dr that has all the good bits but whilst not under it's own steam still managed to find a tree to have the front and rear bumpers coming together.

Lots of work to do and don't have much experience so will be attending as many open days anywhere.

Looking forward to dusty roads.

Cheers

Will

Hi Will Welcome to the group and series Do try to pop up to Bendigo on the 4th it'll be a fun day. Have a good look at the Excels for even though they all may look the same each one is different and its good to borrow ideas from each other. There are also differences in setup and roll cages as well as how to build a competitive excel on a budget or spend a small fortune:lmao:
Cheers Pete [and it was good to meet you at Tooborac]:clap:
