It's in need of all new electrics and battery but will focus on the body first i've sourced a new 6 volt 12 AH
and charger for $60.
The soon to be 3 yr old who is in line for it likes red so red it is.

Where did you find that Brendon, i am sure Coco (Koco) (Coko)(Koko) will just love that.
Bev says she wants for Kyla, so cool
Skill is, sucessfully tightrope walking across the Niagra Falls.
Intelligence is, having the sense not to do it.

An old friend has had his 4 kids thrash it for years and they are all too big now and it died a while back.
Should take a mold of it and pump out a few hundred.

We had a Jeep for the boys that had a gearbox you could swap out a gear in and make it go from 5 mph to 10 mph! Make this a shifter car!!!

I found a corvette Barbie Car in an inorganic rubbish collection, I think it was supposed to be 6v, only had a 12v battery, my boy was swinging O's at 3 !!! till it broke...
Cool beetle !

Could you show a picture with a small child in it to reflect the size Brendon

I'll get some shots .... Looks awesome. I'm just about to load it on the truck and take it home for her. By the time she is 15 she'll be a driving machine...  :laugh:

That is so cool, I wish you were my uncle Brendan!

I got Edan this electric (only 6v, but I did customise it with a forward and reverse switch) quad bike and even though it's too small for him now he loves tooling around on it.  Skids, no hands, feet up on the handle bars, leaning it over on a slope :)
Daily Driver - VW Touareg V8 TDI 2012 "towing beast"
Too Many Cars - Lotus Elise S 2013 "tangerine dream"
Project Car - Golf VR6 Turbo "built not bought"

Lets put an 18v cordless drill set up in it.
Lithium batteries are awesome!

So does it go now? Electric drills are the way to go ;)
The end is nigh, but the end of what is the question?
