I don't usually do tutorials, but I'll give it a try


First the easy part. move the back wheels so they become part of hips, this give you a bit more freedom for the head platform to raise.

Next comes the fun part....cutting, grinding, drilling and gluing 



First the cutting and grinding.First you will need to cut out the plastic from between the head platform and the tube, right to the back, but not all the way though. This is indicated with the yellow line. Then grind back the hollow tube underneath to just past the head platform,indicated by the blue circle. this helps to force up the platform a little bit more because its not resting on the back of grey chest plate, Now the delicate part. you need use a bit of force and force up the head platform, gently but firmly force it up, just until it bends enough to leave a large enough between the hollow rod and platform.If you want you can place a piece of plastic between this section if you want to hold it there if your not comfortable in trying to force it up until it bends.

Now for the final part putting the ball joint into the head and platform.This is the catch to why I called this thread what I did because he now has a ball(joint)
Pretty simple and self explanatory pictures.
First you will need to grind flat the platform all the way to the back.
Next you will need to find a ball joint and pin of suitable size to squeeze into his head after you rime the guts of it out, be careful when doing this you could go to far and wreck the head from the inside out.You will need to be careful with the placing of the hole for the pin or you may not be able to transform him because his head will get caught on the lip as the head gos under, I learnt this because before I can transform him I need to turn the head 180 degrees, but it a small price to pay I can live with.

Here are some more mods over at TFW 2005 if you want to try something different, some are quite dodgy so pick and choose, but there is one there that it slightly similar to what I did but not quite as brutal in regards to raising
the head platform but do's give a better view of where to cut the plastic between the platform and tube.

I hope this helps someone as I don't usually do tutorials...enjoy


And I'm pretty sure I may have missed something but I hope you get the drift of what I did...........
