I built a 80´s Pontiac Firebird (no Knight rider) many years ago. Then one day it dropped down from the shelf
into pieces. I threw the remains into a box. I found this box last year in my basement and thought to restore it.
Unfortunately the rear bumper was missed, so i filled the rear with some styrene and resin and made a modified from it.
My wife and me are big Minions fans, we love these little guys. Well, she asked me to build a Minions racecar and here it is.
Hope you like this crazy built! ;D ;D







And here´s the driver:

Glad you like it guys!!

The decals are printed on clear decal paper with my inkjet, white modelcars are the ideal
surface for self printed decals ;D

Great restoration of an old build. I take it this is a fantasy build but it looks like the real thing if there was one. That rear bumper looks so real and the overall weathering makes you think it a picture of a real 1:1 car.
