Volkswagen’s Transporter is one of the most heavily modified vehicles ever made, so it’s a little surprising that LEGO’s own superb 10220 Volkswagen T1 set doesn’t seem to have followed suit. After all, LEGO is designed for modifying! We think it’s probably due to boring collectors being boring. Anyway, one builder who’s got his 10220 out of the box and had some fun with it is Norton74, a previous TLCB regular with his fantastic trucks.

Norton has removed the camper portion of his VW set and rebuilt it as a canvas covered pick-up, resplendent in Road Service livery. We think it looks even better than the original! See all the photos of the mod on MOCpages, and if you’ve got a 10220 sitting unopened in a box; you know what to do!…
