    That was a sorry looking 504, leaning over on its side like that. You have rebuilt it and fixed the suspension! And that colour is sublime! The original colour was a bit garish but I guess that was to encourage people to buy it. Now it looks like a collectors piece, like the full scale version! Thank you, Johan!

      Thanks! 🙂 Yes, it was mainly meant for the toy market back then, so all the MiniJet cars got bright colours.

    Nice restoration. I like the champagne colour much better than the original red colour. And the painted details too. Unfortunately, as you say, the wheels are not the best to begin with and that shows on the finals result. But it is still a beautiful restoration though. If I’m not mistaken you usually drill out the rivet post and tap it and use screws to fasten the base to the body. This time you used glue. I guess the rivet post was either very thin or broken. I myself prefer to use screws rather than glue. It just looks better and cleaner with screws

      Thanks! 🙂Yes, I decided to glue the model, since the rivet posts are very thin. I maybe could have sourced a couple of 1mm screws, but I don't think I have a tap tool of that size.

    Hi BDR, it's interesting to see that Norev sold these models too as they were originally made by Schuco. We never stop learning new facts

      I was surprised too. Although it wouldn't be the first time that castings were sold to other brands.

    When u put new axles on th car the gadget thatu use that gives of a spark does that bend the end of the wire can u put a close up after u put a new axle on so we can see the end of where the wheel sits please. 🤔

    • @BelgianDiecastRestorations

      It's a jewelry spot welder. The spark heats the end of the axle up to melting point, making a little steel 'droplet' on the end, that looks a lot like the ends on an original Matchbox axle. It works great for small axles and wheels like these. But it stops being effective on larger wheels, like for SpeedKings, as the hole is too big.

    I find it a strange construction how the axles are bend behind the wheel hubs. It worked at that time I guess.

    • @BelgianDiecastRestorations

      Yes, these MiniJets are the only models I have done that use this method. I guess it was a way of cutting costs and/or speeding up the production process. Didn't make the cars roll any smoother though.

    Hi Johan. That is a fantastic restoration. What is the model of the little hand drill you use?

    • @BelgianDiecastRestorations
      @BelgianDiecastRestorations  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks, Jason! It's a PowerPlus hobby drill. The kind that comes in a case with all kinds of accessories. That flexible arm really is the best!
