The MightyBoy - is it restoration or Hotrodding?

I picked one up locally for $100.00 so she's away.

I'm thinking of modifying it so she can sweep the floor by towing a broom behind it. Then a small scoop so she can pick up after her dogs.

It has a small basket on the front so she can still fetch a beer for me. If only!

She obviously doesn't read this forum.

Another month passes by and still no forward progress on the MightyBoy.

Been too busy knocking down walls and putting up new ones, plus fencing the property and a smaller dog proof area for Helen's best friends. The harder I work, the harder people think I can work. I think a strike is in order!

Today whilst fitting a new clutch master cylinder to my other son's RX8 I noticed a pool of oil under the little car.

Looks like power steering fluid so something to have a look at, when I can get to it.

One of my toys suffered a failed POR15 fuel leak and it's been out of action for 2 months as there just aren't enough hours in the day. Additionally my shed is still at least 6 months away so tools are everywhere and no machinery works.

Have you ever tried the KBS fuel tank repair kit? Aussie made and is good and requires 3 steps to do it.

Cobba,

Never tried the Aussie version as I had had good results with Pro15.

Now planning on fitting a fuel cell with a swirl tank and two pumps.

Easier than modifying another HQ panel van tank.

The vehicle is in the Mattel Hot Wheels contest so I need it sorted ASAP.

I have not used any POR products but have only ever heard of positive remarks. Only tank repair mkit I have used was the KBS one and with a good result too. Like many products the end results depends on how well we follow the destructions. Hope the fuel cell goes in with out a hitch and you have a great time in play mode.

I've just entered the leaky vehicle in the Mattel Hotwheels competition.

The winner will have their vehicle replicated as a Mattel Hotwheels vehicle that will go on sale.

The car looks like a Hotwheels vehicle but is 100% street legal.

Good luck with the comp!!! It would look awesome as a hot wheels toy!!!

Just so there's no confusion the MightyBoy isn't the entered vehicle.

I have an Individually Constructed Vehicle that I've entered.

This is the vehicle with the leaky fuel tank. The MightyBoy has a power steering fluid leak.

You, Sir, are a bloody genius when it comes to "making your own". I envy your talent and determination.
