The Pontiac was red and needed a lot of attention. A complete restoration was in order. The rust on the car was really bad so it was sent to MF Autobody. They had to replace the entire floor, door skins and the trunk floor. Figueiredo Snr had to repair some panels and make others from scratch. The bodywork took nearly a year to complete. A lot of the parts could not be salvaged so new ones were brought in from the US. The list included new glass, grille, headlights, taillights and fuel tank.

Kavi had no idea what he wanted to do with the bus but all he knew was that there was no way he was going to keep it standard. All he had to work from was a bare shell. The vehicle was in bad shape so Kavi sent it to HD Panel-beaters. The side panels had to be replaced due to rust. It took a year to weld and replace all the rusted panels and the total body work that had to be completed took just over 2 years.

When it comes to cars, Monster Energy and Ford Performance are legendary. Over the last few years, Monster Energy and Ford have given away some epic cars in South Africa. Prizes ranged from a Ford Mustang Roush to a Ford Mustang RTR. However, this year Monster Energy decided to do something different. After the introduction of Monster Energy’s new Ford Ranger Promotional cars, the market had such a great response, Monster Energy decided to give a Monster Ranger away, along with some cool Monster Prizes.

Ken Block took to the streets of Las Vegas behind the wheel of a one-of-a-kind Audi S1 Hoonitron. The vehicle is regarded as a prototype and is worth an estimated $ 12 million. Some of the features include 800V architecture, two electric motors, an all-wheel drive, and plenty of horsepower. It appears to be enough to paint black lines up and down the most famous bit of all of Las Vegas, the Strip.
