Bangers and Mesh - a Gaslands Street Racing Team

Recently I started doing some basic beginners' teams again, consisting of a buggy and a car, each armed with a machine gun.

The idea was to try out a few different looking designs, but keep the effort on a moderate level.
Here is the third team:

Bangers & Mesh

Had the Morris for some time. Looked for a partner. I wanted to use a British car. But not a Land Rover. And all the Jags and cabs I had were weirdly off scale. So I found this really vintage Ford Zodiak.

The buggy

Matchbox Morris Minor Saloon. I had so much fun to hot rod this incredibly tame car. The Wheels are salvaged from other Hot Wheels. So is the engine and the roll cage.

The car

This is a wild one. The Ford Zodiak MK IV was the upmarket brother of the Ford Zephyr. This started as a Matchbox model from 1968. I got it badly beaten, hood and engine missing. I gave it new wheels (from a Hot Wheels car) and a new engine. Made the little Lewis machine gun as an afterthought. When I found the wing in my bits box, I just hat to use it. The body of this car is really plain. 

The Ford is the right scale. Which means the Morris Minor is a bit on the larger side. But they look good together.
