HELLO guys, as some may know, i began customizing 12" figures of ghostbusters, so one day i decided i was going to make a 1:6 ecto so they can go and catch some ghosts… The first thing was to find a base… so afther researching a lot, i went to the wonderfull world of ebay and found this: By [spv11](http://profile.imageshack.us/user/spv11), shot with [FinePix S7000](http://profile.imageshack.us/camerabuy.php?model=FinePix+S7000&make=FUJIFILM) at 2009-01-15 as it arrived i noticed it was similar to the Ecto, but had it´s differences and challenges… for instance, the doors didn´t open, the front was completely different-- had no roof, and the side red wings weren´t present-.-- so a LOT of work had to be done… By [spv11](http://profile.imageshack.us/user/spv11), shot with [FinePix S7000](http://profile.imageshack.us/camerabuy.php?model=FinePix+S7000&make=FUJIFILM) at 2009-01-15 So here is a litle bid of the process i had to go through…ofcourse i got some help… but this baby was remodeled from scratch I had to reinforce the base so it could hold the roof and roof rack By [spv11](http://profile.imageshack.us/user/spv11), shot with [BlackBerry 8100 Series](http://profile.imageshack.us/camerabuy.php?model=BlackBerry+8100+Series&make=RIM) at 2009-02-27 Some metal sticks to hold the roof By [spv11](http://profile.imageshack.us/user/spv11), shot with [BlackBerry 8100 Series](http://profile.imageshack.us/camerabuy.php?model=BlackBerry+8100+Series&make=RIM) at 2009-02-27 making the roof with epoxy and sanding it a bit By [spv11](http://profile.imageshack.us/user/spv11), shot with [BlackBerry 8100 Series](http://profile.imageshack.us/camerabuy.php?model=BlackBerry+8100+Series&make=RIM) at 2009-02-27 By [spv11](http://profile.imageshack.us/user/spv11), shot with [BlackBerry 8100 Series](http://profile.imageshack.us/camerabuy.php?model=BlackBerry+8100+Series&make=RIM) at 2009-02-27 Now making the front of my ECTO By [spv11](http://profile.imageshack.us/user/spv11), shot with [BlackBerry 8100 Series](http://profile.imageshack.us/camerabuy.php?model=BlackBerry+8100+Series&make=RIM) at 2009-02-27 Oh my god when i got to this point… i just couldn´t recognize the car anymore… i hoped it to end up looking jus as close to the original as possible By [spv11](http://profile.imageshack.us/user/spv11), shot with [BlackBerry 8100 Series](http://profile.imageshack.us/camerabuy.php?model=BlackBerry+8100+Series&make=RIM) at 2009-02-27 [Bumper](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/bumper) sculpted and added By [spv11](http://profile.imageshack.us/user/spv11), shot with [BlackBerry 8100 Series](http://profile.imageshack.us/camerabuy.php?model=BlackBerry+8100+Series&make=RIM) at 2009-02-27 the back door… By [spv11](http://profile.imageshack.us/user/spv11), shot with [BlackBerry 8100 Series](http://profile.imageshack.us/camerabuy.php?model=BlackBerry+8100+Series&make=RIM) at 2009-02-27 OK so it´s kind of late, will continue tomorrow with more pics so [stay tooned](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/stay-tooned)… we´ll be right back afther a few words of our sponsors! 🙂 ---

“Everybody can relax, I found the car! Needs some suspension work and shocks. Brakes, brake pads, lining, steering box, transmission, rear-end…” Looking good 🆒 ---

Looking great so far! One thing though, I don’t think it’s wide enough. I dunno, maybe I’m just seeing it wrong in it’s current state. ---

The size comparison is alot like the [kenner](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/kenner-10410) figures to that ecto. All this one needs is a chair on top and a grappling hook. ---

The back doors don open so it can only fit 2 ghostbusters. The cool thing is that the sirens work, and the lights work as well. Here is a litle video i did about it, hope you like it. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ipgHfl33I4Y?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque SAl ---

At first I thought this was a really dumb project, and looked incredibly silly. And now… it’s beautiful. Edit: I still refuse to believe that right-side tank is green. ---
