The best way for me to have fun was modifying the set. A HOG steering, for example, was easy to add. With a longer steering column, a second Cardan joint, an axle and a spare tire on the rear end it was done. Today I would add a third 16 teeth gear in the front to add a second, more or less hidden, steering column, but back in 1981 the two (then new) 16 teeth gears from the set were the only ones I had. Later I added more stuff to the model, like side panels and laser guns (everything needed laser guns back in the 1980s). I even drew instructions for some of the modifications. So it was a lot of fun then and it even is today.
