Congrats on the great restorations. Grant spends hours restoring them to their original state for the love of it just like I do. It's hard to explain. It's sad to see them go to waste so it's people like us that save them.
To be honest I find myself quite torn between preserving a play worn patina and a well done restoration. Both have their pros and cons. Anything is only original once and took decades to get the patina whereas a mint looking one is just that,mint,but with all the personality removed.
Great to resurrect these amazing toys. It’s a shame they don’t make them any longer. I notice the colour of the restoration is sometimes completely different. Artistic freedom?
These are very nice! Job well done. Although most of these are customized, not restorations. Restorations are painted the original color with any original style decals (if applicable.)
NICE 👍

excellent they look brand new. any tips on cleaning, painting, obtaining parts like wheels & axles and tyres + transfers.
How do you get the writing/ text on the sides of the vehicles so clean and neat??
Great restorations. Do you have a source for reproduction tires?
Why you change the colour ?
Nice work, where do you get the decals and tyres from, ? I've just been given a big box of dinky toys and I'd like to refurbe them.
Do you remove the axles? If you do remove them, can you share your methods?

Mournful song is out of place. Needs something more upbeat to chime with the restoration theme.
Why the crappy music?
