Title: Russel's trailer car for EBI ;) Post by: guillaume on April 24, 2011, 20:50:18 pm Hey all,
Here is an idea of what Russel's trailer could be for the EBI. Just a nice top chop. The Airstream is a must be at the rear ;) Title: Re: Russel's trailer car for EBI ;) Post by: Fastbrit on April 24, 2011, 22:30:00 pm Ah, the good old Smoke City Wheelers' club Bus! Roof-chopped (twice) genuine London Bus. That was/is so cool! 8)

Flip the ring and pinion and use a reverse rotation camshaft, so you will have four reverse gears and one forward. That way burnouts in reverse will be the "norm". ;D Title: Re: Russel's trailer car for EBI ;) Post by: Fastbrit on April 25, 2011, 07:20:51 am Very cool indeed, never seen this before.......

That was/is so cool! 8) I thought only the top had been roof chopped. You can see from the drivers window that it hasn't been chopped at the front in the middle, they put in-fill panels in along the middle windows to make it look like it was chopped Title: Re: Russel's trailer car for EBI ;) Post by: Lids on April 25, 2011, 08:04:31 am Ah, the good old Smoke City Wheelers' club Bus!

He took me for a spin in his 10 sec Capri a few weeks before it caught fire on the A10.
