Since I can remember, I always liked transformed cars , but in my country custom a car is almost as criminal as to kill someone...
And what better way, safe and legal to customize a car..... if not in LEGO?
... and better than one ... how about four ?!?!
The first , the Green Hotrod
It began with the viewing of a MOC from Norton74, the T-Bucket, I thought, "I have to do a similar"
So, I had to increase "my" challenge, and imposed two conditions:
- Use all those green pieces that I rarely use
- Do not buy parts in Bricklink
First condition:
Second Condition: .... ok, ok....just 6 parts
So here it is, hope you liked

The second car is what they call, in the Custum Culture, a hightech hotrod .
It´s a hotrod with more modern lines, more fluid, but keeping the old school mechanics!
This model is not based on any car, and has the distinction of being convertible with a 100% functional hood.
The third ..... ok, the third has a short history !!
Using those wheels !!! :grin: :grin:
And finally, the VW!!
Since the LEGO launched the type 2 campervan, I intended to change those horrible tires . It looks to me , like it comes equipped with tractor tires
But it needs some big changes on the set (removing part of the engine, for example), in order to fit those tires I used ... there I have done this van from zero.
It has a look inspired by the trend "German Look" (almost standard body, big wheels, more powerful engines, big brakes....)
For those who like VW vans may think, "but is missing some windows"...
No, not missing!
Simply I chose the "9 windows" model, just because it was the version built in Portugal (VW type 2 panels came from Germany factory ,in parts, and then were assembled in Portugal, cutting two more windows on each side)
I hope you enjoy!
