What an intricate toy. The women on the Corgi production line must have had ultimate patience. Another I’ve never seen inside. Huge parts bins at Corgi. Another superb restoration. Keep it up 👍
Thank you Alan, I’m surprised they didn’t have a counseling team, there must have been some of the workers going a bit cuckoo doing that day in day out lol!!
Nice opening with your accordion playing. That nail head for the grill ornament turned out great and nice shade of red. Another one saved, good job. Cheers Robert
Thank you, it was a bit of a challenge but not as bad as it looked, the worst bit was to remember how it all went back even with the photo! Thanks for your comment, much appreciated 😊👍 Take care, all the best, Nick.
Excellent work nick ,good idea with the nail. These are a bit fiddly, but great when there working. I hope your having good weather we are at the moment, iam always dropping stuff on the floor and spending ages looking for it😪 Take care my friend
great job again Nick, I thought bloody hell he is going to lose another thumb the way he is going with that drill LOL, I have been on the hunt for one of these, take care mate look forward to the next
Cheers Bill, it always looks worse after when you watch the video, than it feels when you’re doing it lol, I got out unscathed !😉😁 take care, all the best, Nick.
Great job Nick, it always amazes me how you and the other restorers find ways of using the worst of parts to repair things. I didn't notice the window was damaged. All the best from Ian & family.
Nice accordion playing mate. I remember you've mention about the nail head and it looks very good. Lots of fiddly bits in this car. The paint job is beautiful. Cheers mate
Hello Nick great restoration as always l am still restoring the ones l had over 65 years ago no plastic windows no inside s do not think l will be restoring. Anything more complex in the near future hope you and your family are keeping well
Thank you Glyn, sometimes the more simple restorations can give more trouble lol, I’ve been doing a couple of minis lately and one of them, well I’ve had enough of it, everything that could go wrong has gone wrong, I thought I would do them as a quick restoration as I have been at work 7 days a week for the last three weeks but it’s taken a couple of weeks just doing a bit now and then🤦🏻♂️ All fine here thanks, hope all is well with you and your Family too😊👍
Bloody ell Nick I had to turn away when you were drilling out that casting! Thought you were gonna slip and drill into your hand, I think you need some new drill bits bud 😉
Wash them in soapy water first, if they are scratched I use one of those nail buffers with the 6 different grades on that you can buy in boots the chemist, sometimes I use very fine wet and dry first, then I use either autosol or lamp doctor polish that you can buy on eBay to finish off.

Never dared try this one...too complicated with those windows and wipers....I haven't the patience. Cracking colour match Nick...looks mint. 👍
Thank you Derrick, it looks worse than it is to do, it’s just remembering where everything goes and taking the photo at the beginning helps!😊👍

You know me by now Bob, this tight old Jerseyman’s gotta get his moneys worth out of the drill bits, even if it means drilling a hole in my hand!😉😂🤣
That is one hell of an improvement Nick. Have you applied for 'Jerseys Got Talen't?
Thank you Walter, lol, I think I would be booted out in the first round of auditions 🤦🏻♂️😂😂
i have just started watching your videos, what do you use to clean plastic glass pieces and interiors
Wash them in soapy water first, if they are scratched I use one of those nail buffers with the 6 different grades on that you can buy in boots the chemist, sometimes I use very fine wet and dry first, then I use either autosol or lamp doctor polish that you can buy on eBay to finish off.
