Here's a little project that I've been doing with my soon to be 6 year old daughter. She's a big Scooby Doo fan. Picked it up on ebay in ok condition. All we've done to the chasis is tighten up any loose bits, ball raced it and added double rear axle springs to take out the slop and make it quieter. The body was cracked and pretty badly painted so we stripped it, filled any deep scars, removed the nasty looking chrome rear bumper and side pipes and painted it Ford Wedgewood blue. The decals are from Screen Print Digital andit's all topped off with some clear coats.
I know it's been done before but we enjoyed doing it and we're gonna enjoy bashing it once she's got the driving sorted.

What we started with.

Thanks for the positive comments chaps. The spare wheel is the top from a can of Halfords grey primer trimmed & super glued in place. It just happened to be the right diameter to fit.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I like it more than I thought I would. We've already used it more than my Scorcher and Hilux, which is surprising considering it's not very stable in a straight line, rubbish around corners and dreadful off road. It's quite good fun though!!
