Hey guys, I have recieved an overwhelming amount of support for my car (a Twin turbo chev powered 1968 Mercedes) to go to Summernats. Only problem is that Im going to univsersity and trying to survive on a disability suport pension (which pays d!ck) leave me absolutely no money to get the car transported from Perth to Canberra. Its a car I have been building over the last 3 years, and Im permanently wheelchair bound (disabled from the chest down although I can still use my arms and hands) after a surfing accident 3 years ago.
Ok, so now getting to the point. I cant afford to get the car over to Canberra from Perth. I found a competition that I entered the car in and the first prize is $2500 cash which would put a huge dent in the $4000 bill to get the car to Summernats 2012. The competition is on facebook and is run by Just Car Insurance. I need to get my car into the top 3 in the categoy its entered into (the European Category).
To help me, just use the link below. You'll need to like the page before you can vote. It wont cost you you anything but will go a LONG way to helping me acheive a dream Ive for over 15 years.
Vote for my car in the European Category. Here's the link http://www.facebook.com/justcar?sk=app_233...mp;app_data=760
Spread the word to your friends.
Forum Moderators. PLEASE dont remove this as spam. I am a genuine person just asking for some help.
Here are two videos of the build. The first is of the build itself from start to almsot finished: Twin turbo Mercedes build Grant Boxall
The second is the car up and running (and getting some boost at around the 2:00 mark)
The car and I appeared in Street Machine magazine in the July Issue last year if that helps, and I have posted a fair bit of content on these forums about the car and the build.
Many, many thanks for your support guys
