Pitstop Taipan Circa 1983 'BLING'
This is a Pitstop Taipan I am restoring, its a slow process as parts are hard to obtain these buggies were the masters of the track back in the day 1983/84 until the Frog arrived on the scene then the Taipan's days were limited .
The Taipan was an all Australian made beast.
The Taipan consists of : Hand Made Aircraft Alloy Rollcage ,Alloy Nerf Bars ,Original Thorpe Diff,Alloy Bullbar,Many CRP Parts,Full Alloy 1 Piece Billeted Wheels .
Back in the day it was all about 'BLING' this buggy still has a little work ahead to get it back to its former glory AYK Motor,Parma Chenowith Body,Body Post,Electrics.
The Taipan basically started life as a Super Champ but as you can see very little remains of the Super Champ.
It has been a pleasure restoring but very time consuming .
Thanks for looking.

Your right theres not much of the original SRB left... Looks like a good little racer. Looking forward to seeing it with a body.. Keep up the good work..

That's a facinating chassis ... I put a $555 bid on one of these in a US auction a few months a go ... bid went higher .... these are very sought after ... hope the restore goes well ...
