Good Luck 👍 ❤
You got there in the end, with style. That's a great looking Austin Healey.
Thank you, I ended up going the long way around🤦🏻♂😁😂🐸🐸
Motor Show finish, Nick: really nice. Congratulations!
Thank you👍😊🐸🐸
Hello Nick another great restoration great paint work looks like a real one hope you and your family are keeping well regards Glyn
Thank you Glyn, hope all is well with you and yours 👍😊🐸🐸
Wow Nick, that's a really nice restoration. I prefer the single white colour, it looks great with the red interior. The dashboard and steering wheel look superb and the chrome around the windscreen really sets it off. (I wouldn't have thought of that) You've turned a child's Corgi Toy into a fabulous display model, it's great. Looking forward to your next video, take care and all the best to you both. Peter.🚜👍
Thank you Peter, glad you like it, the chrome around the windscreen didn’t turn out as well as I wanted, well it looked ok till I put my fingers on it then had to do it again, it never works so well when you put a second coat of Molotow 🤦🏻♂🤣😂 All the best to you both, take care, Nick🐸🐸
I like that you detailed the dash and around the window, that was clever. Cheers ✌️😎
Thank you😊👍 glad you like it, all the best, Nick🐸🐸
Hi Nick, top job the old English white is truly a great choice (anyone can have a red one 🤣) the red interior is spot on. I like the detail on the windscreen and the chrome flash on the sides. Looking 👀 good. Great channel. All the best Chris 🏁🏁🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you Chris 👍😊Best wishes, Nick🐸🐸🇯🇪
Lovely job. I’ve often had to go back to the paint stripper when my original idea didn’t work out as planned. Great result. Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you, it does happen every so often lol, annoying at the time though🤦🏻♂😉😁
Very nice, the screens look much better with the chrome around them Nick 👍👌
Thank you Bill👍😊🐸🐸
hi again nick what a beautifull restoration.great work
Thank you John👍😊🐸🐸
this is not enjoyment nick this is serious resto addiction.what a pearler
Lol, I think you could be right🤣😂👍🐸🐸
I LIKE IT MATT PRACY UK
This turned out very smart nick ,glad you went with the single colour, you might find it easier putting the hubs back on in a vice with the soft jaws ,I must say your a brave man to go around the screen with the moltow pen 😮 excellent restoration
Cheers Martin, didn’t really think about using the vice for the wheels, I’ll remember that for next time😊👍 The Molotow looked better when I did it the first time, until I put my fingers all over it 🤦🏻♂ and had to do it again lol, never comes out so well the second time, I probably shouldn’t have done it in the first place, trying to be a clever clogs!🤔😉😁
All the best, Nick🐸🐸
wow Nick what a little beauty put up a fight as usual but well worth it thanks for sharing mate 👍👍
Thank you and you’re welcome👍😊🐸🐸
Good on you for keeping going. Some cars just don't like red. Excellent restoration Nick. Cheers Michael
Thank you Michael 👍😊🐸🐸
Great restoration nick well done all the best steve
Thank you Steve, glad you enjoyed it, all the best, Nick🐸🐸👍😊
Great work Nick, sorry to say this, but it great to see the good restorers make a wee mistake now and again...thank you for the video attention to detail. it is second to none,
Paul ☘️ ☘️
Thank you Paul, things quite often don’t go to plan lol, the model I am doing at the moment, I put the waterslide decals on, then as I often do I applied a bit of hand lacquer to them and managed to rub the end off one with the brush, now I have to wait for another set of decals to arrive🤦🏻♂🤔 All the best, Nick🐸🐸
Fantastic way to remove wheels thank you for sharing. I have subscribed 😊
Thank you, I have subbed you back😊👍🐸🐸
That looks a lot better done in white Nick, proper job. I feel your pain masking two tone paintwork. I have stopped using Tamiya tape, been having unresolved issues with it, so now I use Yellow 'Frog tape' with far better results when masking 2 tone schemes. Glad the puller worked out for you and a good shout using that 'G' clamp. Thanks for the mention and look forward to another instalment, from Mr P.
Thank you Mr P. I must get some yellow frog tape to try now you have mentioned it, I’ve had a few problems with the Tamiya tape too, put it down to my painting being not great, so thanks for the tip, the puller has been a godsend so thanks for that tip too, I did do this video soon after you recommended the puller to me but it’s taken a while to get round to posting it, so sorry for the late mention but it wasn’t at the time lol, I know you did say about the puller in one of your videos too so viewers are probably thinking I’m a bit slow off the start line lol🤔😉😁 Take care, all the best, Nick🐸🐸
Fabulous end result. I think it would have looked even better if the axles used by Corgi were a couple of mil. longer so that the wheels were not so far inboard. That little puller looks like very useful device.
Thank you David, the puller certainly saves a lot of hassle 👍😊🐸🐸
Hey Nick, great video again, lovely job, and to bad things didn't go to your original plan, but l prefer the way it's turned out very classy. Thanks for great video. looking forward to the next .
Thank you Mark, sometimes things just don’t work out lol, it’s all good experience👍😊 Glad you enjoyed it. All the best, Nick🐸🐸
A wonderful job Nick, we really like this one. We heard a story about a fire engine manufacturer bringing out a limited run of these called the Dennis-Healey. Note sure on the details but it should raise a few eyebrows.
Thank you Ian, good joke, made me laugh😂😂🤣🤣😂 All the best, Nick🐸🐸
I like the way it turned out that is sharp
Thank you Rick👍😊🐸🐸
Looks great...as usual...
A+
Thank you😊👍🐸🐸
I have one,done in BRG,and with wire wheels from a Corgi bond aston fitted!
I bet that looks nice👍😊🐸🐸
A great video once again Nick tool you used for palling off the hubs Martin had one as well and then I remembered I'd 1 in my toolbox i used to use on my model RC helicopters handy little tool to have. I see you was using a G clamp to press the wheels back on your blue pill vice has it got plastic Jaws that go over the metal one ? Or just make some wooden ones up, it sounds like the cold has gone sleep well my friend.
Ralph
Thank you Ralph, yes I saw the one Martin was using, it was MrP who put me onto this one a few months back, no I don’t have plastic jaws on the covering the metal ones on the pill vice, I’ll have to sort something for that, the clamp did ok though. The cold is still there with an annoying cough I can’t get rid of, this was a restoration I did a while back and kept on a memory stick to try and have some videos in reserve as I haven’t had time to do any since the holiday, been busy at work and helping my Brother on the farm after work.
Take care, all the best, Nick🐸🐸
nice job nick
Thank you Brian👍😊🐸🐸
Beautiful restoration Nick well done 👍.
Thank you Adrian👍😊🐸🐸
I did like this video I hit the wrong button on my phone
Great restoration nick ,what's the name of the tool you used to take wheels off best regards Jeff.
Thank you Jeff, here is a link to the tool on Amazon: Motor Gear Puller, Steel Pinion Gear Removal Tool RC Part Accessory for RC Vehicles amzn.eu/d/7C9XWGh All the best, Nick🐸🐸
Thanks for link nick,will send some models as I got some great cheap deals at the Doncaster toy fare.
@@jeffoleg4881 you’re welcome and thank you very much, that is very kind of you👍😊🐸🐸
Shame about the red. Still looks great even in the creamy white. Martin showed me a place where he got his wheel puller & I still cant track one. Also what did you use on those hubs? they gleam like a shilling on a chimney sweeps arse
Thank you Ian, sometimes it just doesn’t happen lol, I got my wheel puller on Amazon, Motor Gear Puller, Steel Pinion Gear Removal Tool RC Part Accessory for RC Vehicles amzn.eu/d/fkR0cBO
The wheels I just polished with brasso, it seems to shine them up pretty easily 😊👍
