New 'Rod for my 4 year old...

Went to the boot sale the other day and found a half finished Triang police car from '63. It was missing the steering wheel,seat,and original decals...so in true 60's tradition...i rodded it for my 4 year old...Gave it a bit of 'patina' too as it was painted blue all over.Made a windscreen surround while i was at it out of a bit of hard line petrol pipe.
My wife says that "I just cant stop messing around in that bloody garage!".lol

 

Just finished watching Outlaw Garage. Maybe you could get your own show.

 

What? for pedal cars...lol
Wish i had the premesis,time and money...the restos would be bigger then...

 

lucky lad i dreamt of having one like that when i was a lad , juvit

 

great find

 

I made the steering wheel from an old bit of chain.I put it around a flower pot to keep it round, then welded it all together.I made a steering boss out of some old washers.

 

His name Austin...but we all call him Ozzie.lol

Hi Soggz. I couldn't believe it when i saw it. I had the very same pedal car when i was a kid. It would have been the early 70's. It must have been old at the time because my dad sprayed it metalic green. I remember flipping it on its side going at speed down a hill. Pure happy memories seeing it.

 

Nice,glad you like it.It cost me 20 quid at the local booty.

 

Really nice, I had a blue one , a different to this, which we found dumped when I was little, I loved it but one day my parents chucked it as they were afraid I would cut myself on the rusty bits ......... .........funny that, mother does not say the same about the bus...........more like have you sorted that bit yet
