Great restoration Johan looks brilliant
Top job, Johan! Great work on the decals! I like the Porsche 924 although there are those folks who don’t. I also like the 928 and the 944. This is a great custom renovation. Thank you!
🤗❤️👍💯
👍
How do i get those replacement parts My transit has all doors missing
It depends on the brand. If it's a Dinky Toys, then you will normally be able to buy the parts at parts stores like model-supplies.co.uk or modelcarparts.com. If it's a Siku like the one I restore in the video, then you can only get spare parts buy buying the same model that, for example has a broken window, but still has all of its doors.
@BelgianDiecastRestorations it's a green Siku
@@bharathu1 Yes, I know the model. It's virtually the same as this police bus (minus the beacons and speakers). So I would advise you to look out for either a broken police bus or another green Transit that still has all of its doors.
👏👏👍👍
You do exceptional work sir! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! 🙂
All great looking restorations. My favorite is the Cadillac limo.😊 Have a great 2025. Keep up the great work. 👍 😊 Happy New Year
Thanks! I had a lot of fun with that one! 🙂
👍 Thx 🇧🇪.
Congratulations, Johan! Best wishes for the New Year and more of your wonderful restorations! Thank you from Bangor, UK!
Thanks! And best wishes for you too!
Great restorations!
Thanks!
It was a very nice renovation. Where did you get the glass part of the car?
I got it from another 'parts car' that was in even worse condition, but with good glass.
Hello, did you use varnish after painting?
Yes, I used 1K automotive acrylic clear from a rattle can.
@BelgianDiecastRestorations How do you implement it? spray can?
@@diecastmixrest Spray can.
Nice
Thanks!
Great job! Where did you acquire your windscreen for this video?
Thanks! You can find those at any seller who sells third party parts. I got mine at modelcarparts.com modelcarparts.com/content/ms188
Nice job the blue aral tanker is quite rare
Thanks! I know. They are slightly more common in Europe, although still less common than the BP tanker.
Looks futuristic in silver. Much better than the Matchbox color. Have a very Merry Christmas Johan!!
Thanks, Thomas! And a Merry Christmas to you too!
Wow!!! That custom restonod looks amazing. Well done. Looks so much better than the original. Merry Christmas to you and your family
Thanks! And a Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!
That came out very well. Excellent job!
Thanks!
Hello, you made a center for the wheel muscles, did you make the centering machine?
You mean the new axles? I use a jewelry spot welder for this. You can find them on Amazon and AliEXpress. Just search for 'jewelry welder'.
@BelgianDiecastRestorations thanks for your answer
@@BelgianDiecastRestorations But I couldn't find the machine you used, which one is it?
@@diecastmixrest Link below. I have the 80A model, but 30A is already more than enough for welding axles. Important! If you use a welder like these, you have to wear special welding goggles to protect your eyes! aliexpress.com/item/32932683167.html
It came out great 👍 well done
Thanks, Lucian!
👍👍👏👏👍👍👏👏
Have a few of these myself in different conditions, but l really enjoyed the back to a more realistic approach , keep up the good work, and merry Christmas and a happy New year to you and your family 😁 . .
Thanks, Ian! And a merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year to you and your loved ones!
Great restoration Johan lovely colour merry Christmas to you have a lovely Christmas my friend xxx
Thanks, John! And a merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
Great resto-mod. Love the colors, the simplicity and, of course, the result. I normally don’t like a silver interior, but after seeing your photos of the original, they are perfect. Love this one, thanks for sharing it and Merry Christmas!
Thanks! I was also suprised to learn that the Marzal had a silver interior. But it looks great combined with the whole black-silver color scheme.
First time someone customized the Matchbox car to look like the actual car. Beautiful!❤
Thanks, David!
It’s so cute and adorable
EXCELLENT
Thanks!
This is a nice tribute to the original designers of the Marzal, Johan! Many thanks for this. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year!
Thanks! A Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you too!
Super,Johan.I wish you a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.

Bel lavoro, bravo😊mi dai dire che misura hanno le viti? E che colore hai usato i fanali posteriori?
Grazie! The screws are M2 (2mm) laptop screws, that are 5mm long. The tail lights are done with Tamiya Clear Orange (X-26) and Clear Red (X-27).
Just needs a period car to tow it.
I wasn't screaming at the screen, I forgot about the tow clamp too! This came out absolutely beautiful Johan!!
Thanks, Thomas! It's indeed easy to forget.
Beautiful Restoration!! Johan, It was a real brain wave to pick this delightful Caravan for the challenge! What a neat choice! Well done, and Congrats!! ❤ Stephen
Thanks, Stephen! Well, apart from motorcycles and a couple of three-wheeled cars, there's not much choice. So the choice was already part of the challenge. 🙂
Merry Christmas, Johan! Best, Stephen
Thanks you very much for the donation, Stephen! Very much appreciated!
Excellent restoration of this classic dinky caravan, thanks for taking part 👍
Thanks, Martin!
