Chinese Engineering at its Best !
If you cant afford a "Haree-Davisun".. Make your own !
Shouldnt he be wearing a helmet or something ?
Gotta admire the determination and ingenuity.. if not the quality.
Mad Max would be Proud..

It's a work of art. I'd soo love to see the whole Mad Max theme of recycled cars idea come into fashion. Bugger carbon fiber, chrome exhausts & fancy paint jobs, lets see some rust, scrap steel and engines exceeding their used by date _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

yep, definitely a truck air bag and a small shock, but that's just for the seat _________________ The Engine Whisperer

Well I can't beat that pure engineering feat, but here is my ghetto modified oil cooler for my Silvia since I bought another radiator that didn't have the oil cooler built into it....
A lovely cocktail of XF Falcon transmission cooler, Bunnings Super Mega l337 20 x 20 x 3 Grade Aluminium and some Tie Wire(I ran out of Zippies ) I found in the engine bay of the Falcon... _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

I can think of one application..
Someone told me a story about a guy who drove from Melbourne to Perth in a fairly smoky old car that needed regular topping up with oil thanks to its burning it.
Rather than stopping and popping the hood every few hours driving, he bought one of those 20 litre drums with a hand pump on the top, sat it on the passenger side and ran a hose through the firewall to the engine. Whenever the low oil pressue light came on, he just reached across and pumped a few more litres in..
I had a car that was a bit like that for a while at one time.. it almost got to the point where I got to say "Fill up the oil and check the Petrol" to a service station attendant. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people
