I need to have a break from the Lancia, something simple and fun... So I look for other kits, but nothing was inspiring me. Until I saw this Jeep. It is a old Tonka Cherokee, that the idea is to convert into a Wagoneer. The idea also is to keep it as toys, so no details etc... Here the Jeep... Few minutes later, after a bath...

Both of the front pieces that keeps the wheel bar, are broken... I will rebuild them. And her e the interior, I will add the rear seats... This because this is a Cherokee, not a Wagoneer, the Wagoneer had 2 row of seats, the Cherokee only one. The Cherokee also came with bigger tires, and a big front grille. I could find a complete interior from a Wagoneer, but it is not fun!

Thanks for the reference. I never knew that about the seats in a Wagoneer and a Cherokee.
