With winter setting in managed to get my 2 year pedal car project completed. Its a 1957 Cyclops Wagon. Thanks also to Dave "The Pedal car Guy" for the repro bits. Just the thing for displaying "Torana Tough"

Very Cool!
My Pop has a few pedal cars that he has done up over the years... I would have loved one as a kid! I would have completely smashed mine up though haha

I,m restoring a 57 junior Tbird for my boy. It's powered by a 12 volt battery & engine starter motor. It's an original I got from the USA & I think they made about 300 for that year model. Hopefully it will look like the red one in the photo's.

Me thinks this may have been done before, still might do it just to see what people had in their early car life.
Mine was a 1961 Mini 850, must of went real fast 'cause it was RED
