With Christmas looming, I thought it was time to think about presents for the two youngest grand kids, so bought a set of plans off ebay and made a start on number one today.
The car uses a Kitchen flip bin for the front bonnet and the boot lid, and is powered by a cordless drill.

Awesome!

You could performance tune it and buy Peachey's mobility scooter and use the motors :D

You could also have Peachey's old springs and make it an off roader (sorry Martin :) )

Never mind a drill motor, use a washing machine motor it will do wheelies on full spin :eclipsee_

Fantastic idea. I bet they will love them. You could use an SDS drill and tell them it's a diesel ;)
Can't wait to see the finished cars.

Todays update, Front and rear axles made, and bonnet cut to shape, I can't do the steering until my wheels arrive, so that i can make the stub axles.

Due to not getting the correct kitchen bin, I can't make the lid work as a boot, so just made it out of mdf.

Made a start on the accelerator system:
