Fantastic Restoration Timo looks amazing well done 👍.

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Thanks Adrian. Cheers

[@marcbrasse747]

If I ever get hold of a real Miura I’ll let you detail that one to. 👍👏👏

[@timosdinkydetailing]

That would be fun Marc. Cheers

[@ellesmerewildwood4858]

Those new wheels over the old wheels are genius !

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Thanks Ellesmere. It certainly makes these Super Kings a new type of toy for me to keep my eyes open for.

[@martindaredare]

Superb restoration, its surprising what you can do with what was considered rubbish, now its a work of art .

[@MatthewOfLondon]

That is an incredible amount of detailing.....and those wheels......😯❤❤❤

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Thanks Matthew. I was surprised how well this one turned out.

[@davidacks8014]

A excellent resto mod.

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Thanks David. Cheers

Also tip for the sticky paper , use a small amount of acetone or paint thinner to loosen the adhesive on the sticker and it will come off much easier

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Thanks Ross. Good thing to try, especially when I want to save the finish underneath.

[@RossFuller-c4x]

@@timosdinkydetailing absolutely, if you use paint thinner with a q tip it’s super effective at keeping paint in tact, unless the paint you’re using is single stage meaning you don’t have to spray a clear cote

[@RossFuller-c4x]

Clearcoat*

[@RossFuller-c4x]

However it may still give your paint a hazy effect so if that happens just take a small polisher and give it a compound or polish and that will go away

[@RossFuller-c4x]

I have background in auto collision repair specifically on the paint side so that’s where I’m getting this information

[@LaziLowcollectables]

I love the idea Timo to creat those almost like " socks" wheels , brilliant. Excellent details , fantastic finish, awesome

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Thanks Lazi. I'm pleased with that idea for sure. I just thought it up when I realized that the axels wouldn't allow for an easy wheel change. It just popped into my head.

[@theoknowscars5418]

Great one the miura is a legend

[@timosdinkydetailing]

The Miura is certainly one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

That's some fine work, Timo. I especially like the wheel treatment. I think I've got the same casting back in my catalogue of builds somewhere. It's an all time classic! Thumbs up from Switzerland.🍁☕

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Thanks Andrew. I look forward to your Miura now. Cheers Timo

When you did the closeup of the car it fell as it I could get in, start the engine, and drive away!
Good restoration.
I have to commend you for painting the car yellow…..
A friend of mine who sadly passed away liked cars painted yellow. I think it was her favorite color, at least for sports cars. Red interior is cool also.
I hope you found another car stashed somewhere in your house…..

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Glad it had that effect on you, but you would definitely be wise to put air cleaners on the engine first. :-)

[@robertdragoff6909]

Ah, I see, yes

[@RossFuller-c4x]

The “engine cover” is called a clam shell

[@septiccalling8341]

Thats a masterpiece, Timo, with a lovely little toy as a result. Those wheels were a masterstroke..... 👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻
Is that it for before Christmas, or will we be seeing you?

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Thanks Jack. The wheel trick makes all these Super King toys a worthwhile effort.
I have another toy on the way, and I hope to have it before or around Christmas.
Cheers Timo

[@neilcummings9939]

I dis one of these in a similar purple couple years back. This car is so cool. The yellow looks great one it

[@timosdinkydetailing]

I like the purple too. Felt like yellow that day.
