Cannonball Run 2010 - Nissan Sunny Vannette

Thanks folks.

As far as colours go for the body my current thinking is a version of the yellow with stripes MFP scheme from Mad Max.

sweet and that colour sceme will be awsome

im lovin it

I thought Cannonballers would want to fly under the radar. That paint scheme will attract way too much attention. What about a beater look...who would ever guess. You know like the 'Q' ships that were used as raiders in WW2.

Good point mgy but too decrepit is as likely to attract attention as too flash.
I think this'll look like a run of the mill delivery van with flash wheels.

Oh, and a gert big wing on the back of the roof.

I honestly thought you'd jam a jet engine in the cargo area! Great build dude.

Thanks mate.
I haven't decided whether or not to leave the cargo area empty (bar a fuel cell) or to put in as many of the seats that I can fit.

I don't want to be the one sitting on top of the motor.
Cool build, very interesting.

The sun roof is above the engine so the person sitting up there can be the one throwing Mythbusters non-branded blue slush drinks at the competition...

well being for a canon ball run it should have a bed for the ladies or at least a bar and a couch

I think it would look great with a clear engine cover over it and the 70's style velvet show van interior.

I love vans. But (and i'm sorry checkmate) I hate the whole velvet velour mirrorball chandelier bar & bed interior thing.

Black leather & chrome is much better - like a rolling bondage den...

No, this one will be pretty basic inside. Build for speed not for comfort.

Throw a BBQ hotplate engine cover on, that motor should be hot enough to cook a few snags on!

So any progress pictures??? I have been reading up on some of the other builds for this challenge on the SA Forum. Looks fun. Have to put it on my calendar for next year.

It's coming along, but slowly. I'm currently working on the floor.

I agree Fred - black leather and chrome is more interesting. Perhaps even this passenger would agree...

When you realise that this is a pic of Mrs Tezza you will appreciate that while he may look 67 Terry is in fact only 23. It's exhaustion that makes him look older...

Like the colour scheme...and will that be the team uniform????

It's not the age, it's the mileage that wears you out...and yeah, I think it would make a great team uniform.

Would than not depend on WHO is wearing it?

Good point!
