the inside I modified it a bit took out the red pegs on the right as it wouldn't fit and I actually put it in reverse to make a better fit. Also so the front didn't have a gap that's only present on the end.

the base the back coupler is original and the hook is of the truck.

the original rc base I had to remove the wheels which was difficult as the axel was longer than usual so I had to force it out.

the terminals showed bit of corrosion

and the van by itself

I might make a hole for the coupling but it still works well without one it looks nice one negative is the roof but I have thought of making molds of this van and making multiples for bases in trucks. I know I used the wrong bottom but it works.
