The T6000

Jason Carthew (Ex class 5 Datsun 720 Ute) is another SORRA club member with a truggy under construction.

The car will run the same drive train as the Class 5 car with a few mods, that is, 351 with Alloy heads and a C4 with shortened extension housing which allows him to set the engine/box further back without sacrificing travel.

Jason is hoping to get the last of the chassis engineering done this weekend and get started on the manufacture of the front and rear suspensions.

Being built in a similar vein as Aaron McClintock's Beast, I look forward to the day when they're sitting side by side on the startline, and to see them both burst away in a hurricane of dust and rocks with all four exhaust outlets pumping base so thick you can feel it...  Oh, just got a cold shiver!

Photos as at 5 July 05:
As you can see the basic chassis is almost complete.

Jason has been hard at it getting the T6000 together.  He's in the process of finishing off the front end, and getting a start on the rear and hopes to have it rolling over summer.

"I would like to thank Peter Tibbles for all his great work so far welding this sucker together, Norm Vesty for his input so far, Aaron McClintock for his time & patience so far.  I would also like to thank my wife & kids for being extremely patient with me whilst spending many hours in the shed."

- funny how that's 2 of us on this site with buildups with big thanks to Aaron McClintock! - webmaster.

Jason has been hard at in the shed getting the T6000 to the roller stage.  These shots were taken a couple of months back, no doubt engine/gearbox mounting has moved on since then.

Jason shot these pictures in May/June this year.

These shots were taken towards the end of last year.
