Great mod! I also doubled up this set but didnt upgrade it as much as you did. Also I think that the big tyres do belong on the car because its an off road suv type car and they usually have big tyres.
it’s great to hear how other people modify things differently. I think the car has been made too small then, it needs to be taller to be an SUV, it’s the same size as regular Lego City family cars. That was the reason that I think the wheels need to be smaller. Thanks for commenting.
Your MOD looks awesome, much better than the original! I'm looking forward to when you start to build your city and we can see all the buildings you have modded in it.
Me too !!!! - But boring normal life continues to get in the way of clearing out the junk room and building Lego though!!! We're getting there though (just slowly!)
I can see why they kept it as a smaller set, as there aren;t many things in teh City range for that price which AREN'T a vehicle of some kind, so it helps with people city building, on a budget. I've just had a look at yours, I liked your thought processes, going thru the dilemmas of where fans and bubbles should be!!! The extra windows in the sides looked good too.
I bought and built that set ages ago, and thought it would n[be a great set to modify so… I bought another one! I even made a short about it, but it’s definitely on my list of videos that I need to make! ua-cam.com/users/shortsAmug-Dd10SI?si=5J25ynkkmQWyfipu
Может, стоило бы приделать его к какому нибудь магазину, как показывают в играх. Или сделать помимо мойки какое-то административное здание, где фигурки бы оплачивали мойку.
У меня уже есть 2 разные заправочные станции Lego, рядом с которыми может находиться автомойка. Так что на данный момент мне не нужно ничего добавлять к этому набору.
Youre one of my favourite youtubers, youve inspired me to collect my very own set of lego spacemen! Collecting these has made me so much happier and so have your videos! 🎉

These type of videos have been remind me of me and my grandma building legos when I was younger I haven’t built a set a long time she is no longer with us but man building a set will sure bring back some good memories
That’s a cool thing to hear! There’s many small sets to choose from, next time you’re near a toy shop, you should get something and take a nostalgia trip. Thanks for commenting.
Your builds are wonderful. I am just starting my city and want to incorporate your techniques but I must admit I am clueless on how to properly do a mirror build. Guidance? Cheers
I'll try my best to help! When you start its a bt confusing, but after a while it gets easier, I promise! Basically, follow the instructions step by step, but place items in the opposite positions. For example, if you are making this car wash (instructions link here: www.lego.com/cdn/product-assets/product.bi.core.pdf/6466282.pdf) all of book one doesn't need to be mirrored, as the car etc are symmetrical. BUT for book two, when you get to step 13, they tell you to add a 1x2 brick with clip on the left hand side, and a 1x2 brick with a green and red light, on the right hand side. You just do the opposite to teh instructions, so the clip goes on the right and the lights go on the left. effectively, it would look the same as the original, if you were looking at it in a mirror. Does that make sense? If it tells you to put a part in the back left corner of a plate, you put it in the back right corner. Then if a piece needs to be put to the right of the first piece, you put it to the left. Give it a go and see how you get on.
@@MarcMeredithLA I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.... but now which fingers should I use... the left hand ones, or the right hand ones !?!?!?!?! 🤣🤣
Thanks. I always love how different everyone’s ideas are. We both modded the same set, but in TOTALLY different ways. But like I said… I’m looking forward to seeing what you do on the rest of your baseplate!
Yes, that would definitely make it more realistic. This time I was going for ease of modification! So leaving them where they were on the original model saved time and parts!!!!! Great suggestion though, so thanks for commenting.
@@MinifigJez You are right. It is indeed not as simple as I thought. My first thought was just placing the brushes in before the window instead of after and then you need some additional parts.
@@windhoven-nl I’ll add it to my “to do” list… but the list of videos that I need to film is getting very long! (Real life always seems to get in the way of building Lego!!!)
Yes, I wasn't that interested in the set, until someone suggested that I modified it. Then once I'd built it and planned the MOD I actually realised what a great set it is. If you do, drop me another comment to let me know how you get on. Thanks for commenting
Right like who cares if you were first. Anyway, love what you did with the carwash. Im in the process of making a gas station moc for all my speed champions and thought about doubling up this set for the parking lot.
@@ThatDudeCurtis6 That sounds cool. Will you give the Gas station some branding? Some Octan logos? Or maybe find some vintage Steel or Exxon stickers parts for it? Thanks of commenting.

@@MinifigJez I know exactly how you feel about life getting in the way.
Nice mod! I also did something similar to this set. Really feels like this set should’ve been doubled up to begin with and sold for £30

Can you upgrade the familyhouse and electric car?

@@MinifigJez thank you, that does make sense in concept, now to see if the transmissions from my brain to my hands get through correctly!
@@MarcMeredithLA I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.... but now which fingers should I use... the left hand ones, or the right hand ones !?!?!?!?! 🤣🤣
great work dude, came out great. A nice simple and effective modification of the set.
Thanks. I always love how different everyone’s ideas are. We both modded the same set, but in TOTALLY different ways. But like I said… I’m looking forward to seeing what you do on the rest of your baseplate!
@@MinifigJez thanks man, im still trying to plan it out :)
@@JacksCityBricks Good luck! I'll wait patiently then!
Only one thing I would suggest is moving the brushes from the end to the middle.
Yes, that would definitely make it more realistic. This time I was going for ease of modification! So leaving them where they were on the original model saved time and parts!!!!!
Great suggestion though, so thanks for commenting.

Thanks, I try to make my mods easy enough for people to do themselves. Glad you liked it.
This is awesome 😊
Thanks for commenting, I’m glad you like it.
looks cool!
Thanks! I'm glad people are liking it.
i actually might buy both of these sets after watching this video!!!

Seriously underrated. Nice work!
That's very kind of you to say.
Many thanks.
Question will you make instructions for this on rebrickable?
I hadn't thought of that, but it's a great idea, so if I have time I'll try to build it in Stud.io and make some instructions
First
We’ll done! - but what did you think of the MOD?
Right like who cares if you were first.
Anyway, love what you did with the carwash.

@@MinifigJez gonna use the classic Octan. Look for it sometime soon on my lego channel @cncbrickfactory
