Yes! I had one of those in the early eighties. It was awesome.

Nice! I remember those tires!

And this set came with a complete alt build for a jeep:

It had space to install the electric motor in the back to drive the wheels.

Phenomenal. I love the classic Technic sets - the modern ones just seem so unimaginative with all of the custom parts, and don't get me started on the new beams.

That set was from just before I got into Technic, so I never had the pleasure of making it, but now I need to find the parts I don't have in inventory and fix that.

Very nice, I remember that being on the Christmas list.

Oh that brings back a lot of souvenirs!! Thank you!

That's a classic awesome set. I only ever had two technic sets. The first was the smaller version of what you have, so the only technic ability was steering. Then later I got a fork lift track that used air pneumatics to operate the lifting forks at the front.

Then I got annoyed as my mum chucked it all in the big box my other "normal" Lego was in, and I wanted to keep them separate.

However, I remember using those really long single stud red beams to build the chassis for an ECTO1 I built. They were often the base for my larger builds.

Very nice build!!
