Update to my previous post where I spent a few days to dig up the parts for this set I got in the late 80s or early 90s from my parents.

It was super fun to build because of the challenge; there are only 24 steps in its construction. So many of the steps are multi part where you need to look at the picture and figure it out. I made a few mistakes and had to back track.

The car has working steering, 3 gear transmission and neutral, an engine with working pistons as you push it around, adjustable seats, headlights that flip up and down, and independent suspension!

Fun times. My family is marveling at it, and my boys love how different it is to modern technics.

Highly recommend trying to get your hands on one to put together.

I spent the weekend and today (Remembrance Day, Nov 11 in Canada) combing through old tubs of Lego for all the parts from a beloved set I had in the late 80s, early 90s. Only 3 parts missing though another dozen hours of searching might fix that - subbing for colour in the meantime.

Inspired by a video I came across where the subject is building a 5x scale version of the preceding set from 3D printed parts (here). I want to show my kids the power of patience and nostalgia; also I just want to see the set IRL again.

Should be pretty easy to guess which set this is.
