Ford Transit diecast model 1986 renovation. Conversion, bluetooth control.

The Corgi company produced the Transit model in the late 1980s. Production then mainly took place in China. The model had a plastic chassis and did not stand out from other diecast models. My car's rear wheels were changed and the entire body was heavily damaged. I decided to create a project and show this model as a Ford Racing service car in the colors of the Gulf concern. To make this model interesting to many people, I added a chassis that included an electric drive and was Bluetooth-controlled. To adapt this chassis, I had to extend it slightly and add elements typical of the Ford Transit. I also made a box according to my own design. Thank you for watching the video, I publish car repair videos on Tuesdays and Saturdays. You can turn on subtitles in your language with commentary on the activity - press the letter C on your keyboard or three dots on your mobile phone.

Teraz zaczyna się era elektroniki w mini motoryzacji na kanale Restorera. Poziom stale wzrasta.

Po raz kolejny "5 minut przed świętami" 🎄 🤣 Czas na jeden z legendarnych "Paul Special" 🤩
Sam model był jeszcze w stosunkowo dobrym stanie, więc był czas na "technologię, która inspiruje".
Przeróbka znów bardzo czasochłonna, ale było warto 👍🏼
Transit wygląda świetnie, a pilot.... po prostu WOW 🤩
(Specjalna atrakcja: działające reflektory, dźwięk silnika i klakson 🤣)
Paul, to arcydzieło, jestem zachwycony. Zdecydowanie oba kciuki w górę 👍🏼 👍🏼
Wielkie dzięki za udostępnienie 🙏🏼
Miłego weekendu dla Ciebie i Twojej rodziny, bądźcie cali i zdrowi. Kontynuuj dobrą robotę, przyjacielu 😉
Pozdrowienia od zwariowanego na punkcie odlewów Paula z Morza Północnego.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Once again, it's "5 minutes before Christmas" 🎄 🤣 Time for one of the legendary "Paul Specials" 🤩
The model itself was still in relatively good condition, so there was time for "technology that inspires".
The conversion is again very time-consuming, but it was worth it 👍🏼
The Transit looks great and the remote control... just WOW 🤩
(Special highlight: the working headlights, the engine sound and the horn 🤣)
Paul, this is a masterpiece, I'm thrilled. Definitely both thumbs up for it 👍🏼 👍🏼
Many a thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
Have a great weekend to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Keep up the good work, mate 😉
Greetings from die-cast-crazy Paul on the North Sea shore.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Es ist mal wieder "5 Minuten vor Weihnachten " 🎄 🤣 Zeit für einen der legendären "Paul Special" 🤩
Das Modell selbst war noch in einem, relativ, guten Zustand, so blieb Zeit für "Technik die begeistert".
Der Umbau ist wieder sehr aufwendig, aber es hat sich gelohnt 👍🏼
Der Transit sieht großartig aus und die Fernsteuerung... einfach nur WOW 🤩
(Besonderes Highlight: die funktionierenden Scheinwerfer, der Motorsound und die Hupe 🤣)
Paul, das ist ein Meisterwerk, ich bin begeistert. Ganz klar beide Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼 👍🏼
Vielen Dank fürs teilen 🙏🏼
Dir und Deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende und bleibt gesund und munter. Mach weiter so, mein Freund 😉
Gruß vom Die-cast-verrückten Paul an der Nordsee.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠

[@szymonchudzinski6245]

Tutaj użyto modułu bluetooth z kolekcji shell. Prawdopodobnie z BMW Shell collection. Ostatnio (jakiś rok temu) były takie za punkty na stacjach. Aplikacja też od nich.

[@PaulRestorer]

W Krakowie na pchlim targu od czasu do czasu pojawiają się takie uszkodzone modele z serii Bluetooth, A to Ferrari A to BMW tak. jak napisał kolega Szymon ten Bluetooth pochodzi z BMW. można również próbować dostać taki model na Shellu za punkty wychodzi on gdzieś w granicach 45 zł.
