I've always been great at the dissasembly part myself, it's putting it back together that always catches me out

It would certainly separate the wheat from the chaff. If they're anything like me, most of the contestants would get distracted about 3/4 of the way through, lose motivation, start another project, and forget where they left off on the first one.

How about a "perform an engine swap with another car at the challenge, in less than 12 hours" category :)

Yeah that would definitely be an interesting one, but the one man teams would be at a severe handicap.
I say they need to add a 3 lap road course test to the competition. Hell I think it would be awesome if they adopted the dead Ultimate Street Car Challenge contests, from the defunct Sport Compact Car mag. Road course, concourse, fuel mileage, ride/comfort, drag, engineering. It would make for a very interesting challenge with the budget cap.

At the babe rally I keep advocating for a tire swap event ... Dive up fully packed (you have no idea how much junk is on the inside of a car halfway through the baberally) ... Dig out your jack and take the wheels off the right side and put them on the left side of the car... timed of course!

the winner is the one who welds the whole car together into one piece. no disassembly required.

I really, really like this idea.
