abandoned corgi toys land rover series 2 109 diecast restoration. off road-roader farm vehicles 4x4

in this video, I restored a corgi toys land rover series 1 109. I start by removing the base plate and wheels. I use a sand blaster to remove 3 old layers of paint. the casting needed some repairs to the window hinge and hole in bonnet. I prep the casting with files and sand paper. I respray the casting in a metallic green. I mixed myself and finished with 2k clear lacquer. I fitted new wheels and tyres just to enhance the end effect. thank you all for your support, and as always, I look forward to your comments. I hope you enjoy the video and the finished result. Thank you all for watching 👀
cheers luke

Thanks for your kind comment my friend 👍

Love it! I have done two of these: one had been chromed and was so badly pitted, it needed to remain as a skanky farmer's hack. It is an odd casting, the Corgi Land Rover - originally a Series 1, 107" wheelbase, it suddenly became a 109! It looks like a Series2 now, but has 2a or Series 3 sills and a 2 grille. The roof is a Series 1 107: 2's and 3's had a curved top to the pickup (or single cab). No matter - your metallic paint and alloy wheels look the part and the green is just right. I really like the weathered look on the canvas tilt! Altogether, a model wholly worthy of the Code3 badge. Good job, Sir!

[@shakeyhandsshedmodelrailwa2494]

you do know on corgis you can lift the suspension wire up at one end slide it out then slide it back in

[@gravesendaustralia]

Beautifully done, Luke. May i suggest that you could use the original window unit you have and cut the side with the crack out and make it an open window look. Cheers Michael

[@johnpoile1451]

First thing that occurred to me. Although sliding windows.

[@Diecastoutlaw]

Good thinking Michael. That didn't even cross my mind. Thanks mate 👍
