Project 64
ALLTRAX NZ are very pleased to be part
of the team of tradespeople involved in Project 64.
A 1964 Mini Cooper S being prepared to compete at Speed Week
at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah 2012.
This 1964 Mini Cooper S will be competiting
at the Bonneville Speed Week 2012 Utah. We officially launched
the project and unveiled the Mini on September 10th 2011 at
WOW (World of Wearable Arts and Classic Cars Museum). We had
Burt Munroe's grandson (Rob Henderson) there to speak and
unveil the car.
 Our
main objective is to raise enough money to get it and us there
to compete. So sponsorship welcome.
We have these sponsors and donators to date:
WOW Museum, Maersk Line, ALLTRAX NZ, Automotive Vision, Swift
Automotive, Victory R, Hartley engines & Motorsport, Minis
in Nelson Inc, Radio Network, Andrew Healey Signs, Richmond
Glass, Basis, Nelson Brake Services, Blacks Fasteners, Lighthouse
Brewery, Mondo Travel.
We are part of the "Core Team" along with Victory
R and Hartley Motorsport that will be attending the event
next year. Hartley Engines & Motorsport are building the
motors, Alltrax has built the safety rollcage and done all
the body work, Victory R are the 2 guys that thought this
up and put it all together (the brains behind the whole thing!).

Photos below show the Mini beginning its
transformation at the ALLTRAX workshop where Garry begins
some minor rust repairs, fabricating and installing a full
safety rollcage and a full sandblast in preparation for painting.
Jensen Interceptor
This Jensen is here for us to complete a
major body and chassis rebuild. By the time it is finished
we will have replaced most of the floors and substructures
as well as all external panels except for the roof which will
also require rust repair in the front corners. We will be
taking this project through to top coat preparation.
MK 1 Ford Escort Rally Car
Garry Grant at ALLTRAX has been servicing,
maintaining and modifying my rally cars, classic cars and
4WD vehicles for over 10 years. His attention to detail, work
ethics and build finish are of a very high standard. Whether
it be minor mechanical work, building certified roll cages
or carrying out major body and panel repairs.
My most recent project for ALLTRAX has been the building of
my MK 1 Ford Escort Rally Car in preparation for the Oct 2010
TARGA NZ Rally. The car was taken down to an absolute bare
shell, seam welded and gusseted on a turn table. The body
was then prepared and primed and sent off for professional
painting. Once painted ALLTRAX then set about assembling the
car. All components installed were either rebuilt or new to
produce a stunning car ready to compete in the Targa Rally.
The build quality is simply superb. I recently debuted the
car at the Nelson Car Clubs Sandy Bay tarseal Hill Climb.
The car drove and handled like a dream. A credit to Garry
and his team at ALLTRAX.
I highly recommend ALLTRAX to anyone thinking of building
a rally, race or modified car.
