Hello you all :classic:

I remember having seen some times ago a lot of EB members modding heavily the small car (even adding treads!).

After finding on a garage sale (actually un vide-grenier, but I don't know if there's an equivalence in english) an old Safari Off-Road Vehicle (only missing the monkey and two tapes),

I couldn't resist making a tribute to this really pretty set.

So here it is,

Yeah, it's quite ugly :grin:

I had in mind to keep specific parts of the design: the tools attached to the back, the big wheels and red working suspensions, the square headlights and of course the wonderful printed doors and 2x2 tile.

20 years later, new car, new pilot, but same problem with monkeys! :laugh:

I had fun mixing the new and the old car, and trying to figure out how to make a chassis of the same dimension of the original (the 3177 comes with a one-piece chassis).

(Bigger and other angles pics available on my brickshelf when the folder will be public)

Have a good day fellows!
