With so much to cover we had to split this up into a few posts so lets get into Part 2 of our SEMA Coverage if you missed Part 1 Check it out here.
Mike Burroughs finally unveiled the new version of Rusty Slammington love it or hate it this car has had quite the build story. Starting out its life as a 4 door E28, after a run in with a semi he turned it into a chopped top BMW rat rod. Years later it was in a massive fire after Mike’s garage burned down and to see it now in a full tube chassis frame and removable wide body panels this thing has a lot of man hours in fabrication.
The engine sits so far back it is in the passenger compartment with the exhaust running through the passenger side floor.
Here is a look at the tube chassis under the rusty exterior. This was taken from his build thread.
Its always great to see other Canadians down at SEMA this is Brody Goble’s Formula Drift 240sx from Vancouver, BC.

Always a fan of the 240SX as it shares such similar lines to the FC3S RX-7.
