What do you get when you cross a cat and a lemon? A sour puss
Racingsigns.com.au were racing the clock this week as they had to wrap a car ready for the Lemons 24hr racing rally.
24 Hours of Lemons presents Australian endurance racing for $999 cars.
It’s a breeding ground for inflated egos and God like status… in their own minds. It's where Mercedes and Mazda, Toyota and Hyundai do battle for the glory of gloating rights.
All are winners if they make it to the end, which is the very point of LEMONS... To FINISH!!
With the rules the car is not a pretty sight to start with so we didn't have a great deal to work with from the beginning.
But we managed to turn a lemon into lemonade.
LOL Racing team- Nana, Snowy, Cletus, Rowdy, Shiny and Loopy bubbled with excitement when they finally got to see the finished result
How good are the gold rims!
A mixture of vinyls were used on the job, but mostly Hexis car wrapping film for it's flexibility and ease of use.
Splash of colour here and there, simple layout as requested, and there you have it a race car!
There are some crazy and funny designs entered
A layout was provided to us but we tweaked it a little it to make the Hunter Galvanizing logo pop that bit more.
The other sponsors include:
MAITLAND CLUTCH AND BRAKE
WL & IG RELTON EARTHMOVING
THE CREPE MYRTLE TEA AND COFFEE ROOMS
