Tough Challenge

The Doon Academy/Kilmarnock College Motor Vehicle Department’s 4th year group have just finished their toughest challenge to date. The task was to align a damaged frame on a Honda 450 Quad Bike. This task included the Fabrication Group under the guidance of college lecturer Billy Tomlinson and Motor Vehicle Groups under college staff Tom Bone and Jim McCubbin. The Motor Vehicle Group completely removed all components from the quad carefully labelled and stored them. When left with the bare frame the fabrication Group straightened and reinforced it to its proper shape. This was then passed onto the Motor Vehicle Group who assembled the Bike to its original condition. This project span over a 6-month period and was a tremendous success of cooperation, problem and team working between both groups and college lecture staff. The Bar Stool Racer and Go-cart are almost completed
