This fantasy car is made of an electric screwdriver that had broken beyond repair. I removed the electric motor and the further parts, cut a hole for the driver's place and a small opening for the window. After that I painted it black, assembled it and glued a plastic cone on the back side. I placed a seat from a die-cast car model scale 1:18, put a piece of clear acrylic plastic as window. The front lights as well as the lateral exhaust pipes are from toy cars. Beneath the body I glued pens for purpose of holding the axles and the transmission equipment from another 1:18 scale model car. The wheels with iron axles originally were made for small RC cars. Some years ago I had bought about 20 pairs in a flea market.

came out sweet. That is nice repurposing of an otherwise trash item. Just goes to show everyone that there are materials to make custom vehicles literally laying around your house everywhere. I scavenge plastic from trashed items all the time.

Reminds me of a 1950s prototype rocket car.
