He is one of the metal workers at work. Has some awesome skills and some awesome cars. He just went from a 1 car garage to a huge shed so you'll probably be seeing a lot more from him in the future. I think most of his drift cars have also featured in magazines.

Was this on display at the work show and shine a few weeks ago, cause it looks familiar, but it had no front guards.

Yeah, pretty sure it was. I didn't end up going to the show as I was still on holidays, but he always takes a car or two to the show. He has the red Nissan drift car as well.

Nigel had it at the show, yes.

For anyone wanting more details, Nigel has the build documented pretty well on www.engineeredtoslide.com

Hilux?

Could be anything.

Great workmanship though.
