Nice restoration, gsxr bikes are a true classic.

[@andysgaragediecastrestorations]

Thank you Jerry. Unfortunately all the bikes I have are the wrong scale. The Transit would have been 6 or 7 years old by the time the bike was launched. Thank you for watching and commenting 👍

Very nice restoration. I had a 1987 gsxr750h, nice bike and a classic sports bike they used to race.

[@andysgaragediecastrestorations]

Thank you Jerry. It certainly is a classic bike now and much loved by many. 👍 Thank you for watching and commenting.

I'm really pleased with what you did to this Transit, I knew it'd be in safe hands with you! Great work as usual Andy.👍👍

[@andysgaragediecastrestorations]

Yes it was your donated Transit. Did it as soon as I could really since I’d been waiting to do a Mk1. Thank you once again

You could put leds in the headlights. The battery in the back of the car 🔙👌

[@andysgaragediecastrestorations]

I have just bought some LEDs to start learning how to do it. So maybe next time. I bought to 1/24th Porsche 911s to have a go 👍

Nice transformation Andy - I like that. You must have been tempted to keep it! It looks brilliant.

[@andysgaragediecastrestorations]

I was indeed tempted to keep it but a plan was already in motion. 👍

hi how to identifie a dinky toys mk1 transit as all of mine dont have the number on them.

[@andysgaragediecastrestorations]

It’s totally different to the Mk2 in shape. This shape in slightly changed form lasted until 1977. Check Google images 👍

[@darrenclarkson6080]

@@andysgaragediecastrestorations no what i mean is that i order a rear side door for a mk1 transit dinky toys and doesn't fit. It seems that there is different numbered transit vans and all of mine unlike the one being restored doesn't have any.

@@darrenclarkson6080 sorry for misunderstanding. Are you going n any of the facebook groups such as the die cast modellers community or digital diecast to ask the question? If not I will ask some experts for you

[@darrenclarkson6080]

@@andysgaragediecastrestorations its fine i should have been a bit more clearer on what I put.

[@darrenclarkson6080]

@@andysgaragediecastrestorations yeah but its only having seen the one here being restored having a model number. That i got a bit curious about mine possibly being fake copies.
