All my recent car mods go here!

1929 Ford Model A (75875 MOD)

This car is a model of a Ford Model A, which was inspired by the hot rod Model A in set 75875 (Ford F-150 Raptor & Ford Model A Hot Rod) from the 2016 Speed Champions lineup. This is the third version of this car, and I have I remodeled the front and grille area due to input from Flickr user Tim Henderson.

Here is the inside, which can seat one mini-figure.

The rear of the car has room for a license plate.

As a side note, this car is also build-able in these other colors:

-Red

-Dark Bluish Gray

-Light Bluish Gray

-Black

-White

Here is the original car (pic from Brickset) so you can comapre them (link: http://brickset.com/...Model-A-Hot-Rod )

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 (75874 MOD)

I thought the '69 Chevy Camaro in set 75874 (Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race) would look better in street form. I recreated it using the instructions at Brickset albeit I made some small changes to the model to avoid using stickers. (such as smaller tires, real headlights, a rear window and front grille)

HOWEVER: After building the model in black, I realized it would also work in red and blue instead of the regular black. I then added another set of dark bluish gray stripes beside the main white stripe. As before, the model can hold 1 figure in the drivers' seat. The car is most likely build-able in real life in red (maybe yellow too) as well as the basic black seen in the original set.

The inside can seat one mini-figure, and the roof is removable to put the fig in the seat. This roof section is grouped in LDD to make it easier to remove.

The back end of the car originally had huge rear tires and no rear windscreen. I replaced the monster tires with regular ones and added a 2 x 2 slope to represent a back window.

1966 Ford Anglia 105-E (4728 MOD)

This is my 2016 version of the car in set 4728, (Escape from Privet Drive). This car type is famous for being used in the movie "Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets". In real life, this car type was made by a Ford for sale in the United Kingdom and was called a Anglia. This particular version (a 105-E Super) was built from 1959 - 1968.

The new version features an opening trunk, doors, seating for two figures and a removable roof. The model is also build-able in medium blue, yellow and white.

Here is the rear of the car with the trunk closed.

Here we can see the roof removed and the doors and trunk open. This model can seat two figures side by side due to the jumper plates that the figures feet sit on.

1966 Volkswagen Micro-bus (Rock Band bus MOD)

This model was inspired by a PDF of the LEGO Rock Band bus, but in red instead of orange. I removed the funny-car style wheels and massive engine replacing them with vent cover for the engine.

The rear of the bus, which can seat 3 figures, and is build-able in blue, yellow, black, and the red version you see above.

1969 Volkswagen Beetle (5 wide custom MOD of a MOC)

Built from these old instructions by Whoward 69. (link: https://www.flickr.c...57624191463040/ ) I converted this 5 wide car to a hardtop and replaced the wide original wheels with a more Beetle-like solid disc. I also changed the color to yellow instead of green and added a license plate at the back.

This car seats 1 mini-figure.

Porsche 918 Spyder (75910 MOD)

This is a modified version of set 75910. (Porsche 918 Spyder) It now has a hardtop roof, headlights, a front grille, along with a redone windscreen and wheels / wheel wells. (This is due to LDD not having those newer Speed Champions parts!)

The car also features a removable roof and seating for one mini figure.

This model is also missing parts, specifically two of these ( http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=18980#T=C ) in Light Bluish Gray and one in Black for the front and rear bumpers. They go where the 2 x 3 wedge plates go on the bumpers ONLY. The other slopes on the sides of the car stay put.

The roof is removable and allows for access to the car in order to put the driver in his seat.

The rear of the car is where the engine is supposed to be.

Here is the original car. (image from Brickset)

Could a Moderator please change the title to "Official - style vehicle MODs - CITY, Speed Champions, & Etc."?

I added the FORD model A and 1967 FORD Anglia to this list.

Thanks for posting these, they are great! I just finished buying all the parts for the VW bus off of BL using your LDD file. It was my first time buying from someone's design and it was... an experience. Looking forward to having a Minifig-compatible bus!

Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the bus!

As a side note, the Porsche 918 Spyder has been added to the first post, while the Anglia & Camaro have been updated. The Anglia can now seat 2 figures, plus has a removable roof, while the Camaro has painted blue. with more stripes (Yes, it's build-able in blue once the brand new blue bracket parts are available in quantity on Brick Link!)
