The Zootopia SUV had lots of potencial for a cool looking Police car. It's a compact and sportive vehicle but as so many toys from other lines couldn't hold GI Joe figures.
So the idea was to make it suitable for Joes and add a few details. To start originally the car didn't had a working steering whell, it had a molded into dashboard one which was bad. Also no room for legs and some holes in the seat because of the tails of the animal figures he was designed to. So I fixed all of these issues. First I cut out and trimmed the room for the legs. It can hold 4'' figures now. Second and more complex was the steering wheel. I bought a second hand damaged diecast Gallardo and used sections of the dashboard, steering wheel and central console. Filled in the gaps with green stuff. Also used the gearbox knob on it. Finally cut some styrene and glued in from behing on the seats. I could have used the Gallardo seats but the pin in the original ones is handy as it prevents the figures from moving around, plus I wasn't sure if it would raise the figures too much and prevent them from fitting in. Finally used the rear view mirror in the cockpit and glued it to the roof. To wrap up added some cool DEF stickers on it today. I'm still planning on making a couple more mods in the cage section. The goal is to use for the K9 dogs. I will be adding a proper floor and cut the bars so that they can be removed by opening the tail gate only.

That interior is some solid modding. We need pre custom pics and pics with figures. Well done.
