2 door FB with flip front

Post by hewey »

Was revealed at Summernats, got a place in the Top 60

An unveil car, Daniel Beauchamp's WILDFB ticked big points for us with the sweet teal paint and two-door conversion. Under the tilt front-end lies a twin-turbo Toyota 1UZ 4.0-litre quad-cam V8.

Nice clever bit of kit. White pearl side flashes would set it off, together with a period interior. But then it is a street machine I suppose. Unfortunately the link bombed on me so couldn’t get the full story. Thanks for posting.
Cheers

another 2 door - the bloody things are everywhere :lol: :lol: :lol:

I hope the front fits better then that when its closed ? The top photo looks awful. Looking forward to seeing more pics of this car , hopefully a forum member is at the nats and can post some up here ?
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Nice car
By the look of the little bloke in the media vest. I'd say a full spread is on the cards, will have to keep an eye out

I know this car well and watched it being built over the years.
It's a father and son project Peter and Daniel Beauchamp.
Peter has been through my parts bin for some stuff and it's had a lot done that you can't see.
when they start it up my house shakes and I live up the street!!
An the car is teal green not blue - it look heaps better than the pictures :)

Looks awesome - would have been super sweet with the white flashes as said above and some more chrome - can never have too much chrome

Trolling through old posts and saw this - quick google and found the Street Machine link.

Met the guy not long ago picking something up off Facebook unrelated. Fantastic guy and was nice enough to show me around.
