Got a rundown hover bike that just doesn't start? Or how about a space truck that's lost it's hyper speed capabilities?

In reality, this is a color-swapped Smash N Grab (set 5982) with a toned down amount of spikes, minimal weapons, and absolutely no stickers!

The rear of the ship features the crane arm and engines.

The top of the roof lifts off for placing the pilot at the controls.

The pilot of the tow truck is wearing a pressurized space suit with a reflective orange coating to prevent accidents.

 

As usual, comments, questions, complaints, and  suggestions are always welcome!

That's an attractive recolor and rework of an aging set.  It almost makes we want the original.  What set is the astronaut minifigure from?

Hello @icm, this mini-fig is from the Deep Sea Explorers (Deep Sea Diver) from sets 60091 (deep sea Starter Set), 60095 (Exploration Vessel), and 60096 (Operations Base). He also came in a children's activity book in Poland, according to BrickLink.
