Rear section of body - some old 6mm depron from an old aero project

Wheels n tyres - old tourer wheels with 80mm foam plane tyres with the centres cut out so they'd fit on the tc wheels

Sorry I lied- looking back on that list it wasn't just the motor I purchased, I also bought the tyres (£15 all in) and a pot of red paint for the roof (£4) some silver card for the details (79p) and 2 torches from poundland for the lights... still a pretty tight budget tho
The ramp holds the doors open when its down (they're on rubber bands which pull them closed) so when the ramp is raised on the 3rd channel the doors close behind it.
