> Car Scene : Modified Mayhem 3

Needless to say this show happened to fall on the same day as the KZN motorracing drags. The weather was also not looking to good which caused an average turnout. Many show die-hards attended, so a few of the cars would be familiar from the last show.

This odd looking Nissan Sentra, looked out of place at the show, maybe it got lost on the way to the drags, it had a V8 tucked under the hood, with a full drag racing setup, complete with tramp bars, drag tires at the back and side exhausts. Apparently the car is still street legal, it seats 4 and is used on the road once i a while.

This immaculate Valiant Rebel, has become a common sight in shows in durban, the car is very neat and origonal.

Some euro flavour in the shape of a Golf 5 Gti quiet tastefully modified....

...with a custom sound install.

Now for something more out-there, a late model Toyota Hilux, fully kitted out, with rear seats removed and 2 15" subs in their place.

Not a car you would expect to see at shows, but this Datsun 140Y looked real good, the 17"s looked abit too big on this little car though.

Its been a while since modified beetles have popped up at any shows, this example was very well done, look at the pictures they speak for themselves.

One of my friends brought is RS2000 for the show and shine, it has fuel management and battery relocated to the boot. it is painted a custom metallic blue paint and metallic black custom painted rims.

The 57 chevy made another appearance.

This mazda rustler, checked all the boxes, sound, style and performance.

A well preserved chev constantia with some 17"s, the car was extremely well looked after, the interior looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor.

1966 MK1 cortina, with a toyota RXi motor with a turbo slapped on, car was built at GS Engineering.

A few familiar cars from the last show.

I remember seeing this car a long time ago, it was one of the first Golf 2's in Durban with a VR6 engine dropped in, the car looked very much the same from the many years ago i had seen it, except for the addition of some 17" rims, which finished off the car nicely.

Fiat Strada with a custom body kit.

An import toyota station wagon, i wonder what motor is under the hood.

Finally saved the best for last, before leaving the show this 57 Chev Bellair made an entrance and exit, the car has been known around durban for some time now, and occasionally pops up at shows. I have yet to see a better 57 Chev locally.
