Easter is gone, so let's get some new toys.

Mini BMW E30 M3

The BMW E30 M3 was a giant killer in the Group A Touring Car era, winning just about every championship around the world, including here, with Jimmy Richards punting the JPS M3. Now is your chance to own a 1:64 scale version of one of the most successful Group A touring cars ever built. Supersonic collectibles has this one, in the livery of the car that ran at the 1991 Macau Cup race. It is superbly detailed and like the real car, precision engineered. The perfect gift to yourself or BMW enthusiast.

Cost - $47.99 from - supersoniccollectibles.com.au

2. FLOOR IT

If you are have a Holden HQ, HJ, HX or HZ Kingswood, Premier, ute or panel van lurking in your shed and you can see the metal where the floor covers once lived, get onto the team at Trufit. These Aussie-made moulded vinyl floors use durable, hard-wearing PVC vinyl, press moulded to the exact shape of the vehicle floor to ensure perfect fitment. A little installation trimming is required but it’s easy thanks to the installation guide. Available in a range of colours.

3. BLAST OFF

When undertaking a resto or project stop ferrying parts to and from your local sandblasting service and grab one of these, from Hare & Forbes Machinery House. A package deal if offered, comprising an SB-200 sandblast cabinet plus a 25kg bag of 30-60 medium garnet. The SB200 is a compact ideal for the home workshop. It’s perfect for blasting rust, paint, dirt and foreign material from your project to etching work (e.g. glass) with the use of the correct blast medium.

4. CHROMED SETS 

The late 1950s cars were known for their big fins and generous lashings of chrome applied to components both inside and out. And if you have one of these great American classics in your shed, in the form of a 1957 Chevrolet, the team at Musclecar Parts have brand new reproduction rear bumper sets. With the costs involved to straighten, repair and re-chrome a twisted or damaged bumper, this is the easiest bolt on option and includes brackets.

Cost is $1980 - allmusclecarparts.com.au

5. CLASSIC WHEELS

Do you own a classic British sports car and want to make it look a bit snazzier? Head to the Healey Factory and check out the range of classic Minilite and Minator knock-off and bolt on wheels. The Minator knock-offs come in 13, 14 and 15 inch diameter and the bolt ons, in a variety of bolt patterns, 12 to 15 inch. The eight spoke knock off wheels are painted silver and feature a 42mm centre lock. They weigh just 10.2 kilograms each and have a 24mm rim insert, with a load rating of 400 kg.

6. CAPRI TEE

Allan Moffat raced the Ford Cologne Capri for two seasons  in the Australian Sports Sedan Championship and made a huge impression in that time. It won on debut at Sandown February 1975 with the 3.4-litre V6 belting out 450 bhp at  8750 rpm. Only four of these RS Capris were built. For all Allan Moffat and Ford fans, here’s a high quality tee shirt to show the world you are a fan of the barking V6 Capri that helped Moffat to the 1976 Sports Sedan title. One colour combo but in many sizes.
