Restoration of an iconic 1960s Chrysler Valiant at Charles Darwin University (CDU) in Alice Springs is underway and in the hands of First Nations students at Yirara College. The 10 students, with support of CDU staff and apprentices, have not only transformed the car, but also their automotive skills and workplace credentials as well. The Valiant's revival will culminate in its display at the Pavilion at the Red Centre Nats in September 2023. CDU Automotive lecturer and mentor, Shane Gaghan, joins the Brekky team to tell us more.
