Like Father Like Son
 
Well, .............

I,m about to start a new build, its a "7" Style car :D

Whilst looking for bargains on "fleabay" in the kit car section I stumbled upon a car with a "BIN" price of just £15.......couldn,t resist such a bargain.......

It has arrived at home today,

Its a full template kit to make a "7" style car for my 3yr old son, it has very good instructions & even comes with a CD instruction manual, basically the car is made from MDF & a laundry basket & a Kitchen swing bin, & is powered by a cordless drill,

Swmbo has told me to get it made before the school summer holidays :eek:
Just not sure if it needs an IVA.....:D

I,ll post up some piccies once I start the build, the 2 cars ( mine & sons ) parked side by side will look great in a photo.

I must be daft starting another build before my own car is finished LOL.

cheers

Pics?

I don,t know how to do linkys but its a great bit of kit,

The laundry basket is cut up to make the front & rear cycle wings, the swing bin is used to make the bonnet & nosecone area & the rear tub (uses the lid to make the boot lid)
Guess who,s just realised i,m going to lose my cordless drill :eek: :rolleyes:
Oh well.....an ideal prezzie for fathers day next month ;)

I,ll post some piccies once i start the build.

cheers

love it, Clicky

They look great,

Only problem is my two are a little big and if I started to modify, well it would just never end.

Cheers David, was distracted by looking at big Army trucks for sale.

Any help you need, He is a great guy, I have built one, helped him revise the plans, they are cracking :) will try to find my pics..................

If you need any help, just drop me a pm, I changed a few things on mine (adjustable peddle box)

cracking cars, I have mine as a 2 speed (9.6v black & decker running a 12v house alarm battery.... fairly flies along :eek: )

Nice one Andy
 
What a great find Andy.

Personaly, I would go with a Bosch 800w motor in that :D

If that lad of yours is as mad as you on the bikes .... I would put a roll bar on too :p

You can get a brand new, 50cc mini moto engine for about £50 .... Now that would be hairy :cool:

Enjoy the build mate & once Junior can type, I expect him to join the forum :)
