Update on this one ,apparently the back ram was assembled wrong at the factory, so with paul James(pimp my diecast) help via messenger as he had one .I removed the ram arm from the belt frame and rotated the plastic arm and replaced the ram .
So both square pieces are at the top .
Thanks Paul we learn something new every day.
Thats crazy, but awesome how we all help each other out, very cool, Just checked mine and its A O K beautiful Restoration as always loved it Martin cheers 🍺🍻🍺🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺🤝🇬🇧🇬🇧😎👍
Sounds complicated, but many thanks for that. Will have a look. Not completely bothered on mine. It sits on the shelf
Wow, thanks for showing us this tricky operation! Very helpful.
No problem, I glad it will help when the time comes.
All the best martin 👍
Just finished final assembly on your kind donation of the summer, Martin, and can honestly say that without this video, I'd have been screwed! Managed it with hardly any paint loss using toothpicks to guide and a plastic straw to stretch warmed belts over the spindles. Terrific: could not have done it without the video!
Thanks very much fraser, uam pleased it was useful it make it all worth the effort 👌
Man - that one had to come with instructions - so intricate - what a great job you did! Thumbs up!
Thanks very much ,glad you liked it .
All the best martin 👍
@@martindaredare same to you!
Really enjoyed this one Martin. Makes you think how they put it together in the factory with all those parts. Splendid result 👍
Cheers Sam, it turns out thay made a mistake on assembly with mine the black plastic ram at the back was up side down .
Quite an intricate build Martin but the results are fantastic!
Thanks Ron, it certainly was a busy build and a few mistakes but that should help others 😀
All the best martin 👍
Nice. As always very entertaining and enjoyable to watch.
Thanks very much its really appreciated my friend 👍
Very nice job taking it apart but even better putting it back together. Very tricky. Excellent work Martin
Thanks Juan, it was a bit of a mission.
All the best martin 👍
Martin, great job… 👍🏻 you’re more ambitious than I am to do something with lots of moving parts! 🤔 Super finish and very cool shelf piece! 📸 😎🇨🇦
Cheers Lawrence it was a bit of a hand full , its got the new tryes you sent on it .
Thanks again.
All the best martin 👍
Well done Martin, as nice these models are they are difficult sometimes to put back together, gorgeous car now ,5 star
Cheers laz, I learned a lot from doing this one and I will do another one at some point.
All the best martin 👍
That one was like knitting a sweater, while someone was unraveling the bottom! In the end it turned out great, as they always do. You are the Excellence of Execution!!
Thanks jester,,it certainly tried my patience thats for sure.
But its good learning curve .
All the best martin 👍
Your a braver man than me Martin Dare. Persistence by you won out. All the best my friend. Cheers Michael
Yes Michael its easier then it looks i just made some bad mistakes so you don't have to now 🤣🤣.
All the best martin 👍
Absolutely amazing restoration Martin and she's very beautiful!
Cheers Shuan, this definitely tried my patience.
All the best martin 👍
Awesome resto Martin. It was not an easy one to work on! 👍
Thanks Johnny, it was a tricky one but iam pleased i did it .
All the best martin 👍
Talk about your moving parts! That was surely more complicated than one of those Bond issue DB5s with all the gizmos on it. That was skillfully done, Martin - both the disassembly and the reassembly. Impressive work! 🍁👍
Thanks Andrew, its much appreciated my friend 👍
Nice job Martin. I was looking at one on eBay where the rear bit sits on the ground and yes the plastic ram was up the other way. Not surprised some were assembled wrong in the factory with the speed they had to produce them back in the day.
Cheers Stuart, just my luck to get a dodgy one ,but its all sorted now and works fine .
Its not as hard as it looks ,just doing this sort of thing on camera makes it difficult sometimes.
All the best martin 👍
Hi Martin may we conveyer admiration for a job well done, it really is a belter. All the best from Ian b & family.
😄😄 nice one Ian, glad you liked this one i had dubbed out all the bad language.
All the best martin 👍
I think you’ve cured me of ever wanting to tackle this one Martin, I don’t know how you remember how it all goes together. Enjoyed this video, got a good chuckle or two out of it!
Thanks BP, opps sorry PB , you can do one it would be fun .plenty of sound affects and you will be fine .
All the best martin 👍
Blimey Martin, that one fought you all the way lol, when you were undoing it I was thinking that would be a good restoration to try in the future, then when you were reassembling it I thought, mmmmm maybe not such a good one to do after all lol, you did a fantastic job on it though and it is a nice model, as you say it’s a shame that back part doesn’t go to the floor but that’s just the way the model was made. It’s inevitable that the paint will get chipped with all those parts to get back together, I had a fair bit of touching up to do on those combines I did, I guess it goes with the territory, non the less, another beautiful restoration and a very enjoyable video, all the very best for your operation on your eye, take care, Nick.
Cheers nick ,its not as bad as it looks ,I made the mistakes, so you don't have to .it was the 2 rams that through me have to be opposite ways to each other .
Thanks nick ,have a good day my friend
Watching now, I got one of these to restore to, cool Ill now see whats involved in it a restoration 😎👍🇦🇺🤝🇬🇧
Its easier then it looks mine had the back plastic ram put in upside down at the factory so it wouldn't go down at the back very far ,so with a bit of help from pimp my diecast we sorted it by turning the back ram up the right way .
All good now .
All the best martin 👍
@@martindaredare yeah I was just reading your pinned message, loving this diecast community as is simply the best checked mine A O K great job cheers 🍺🍻🍺🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺🤝🇬🇧🇬🇧😎👍
It was a tough battle but you kicked its but in the end! Another awesome restoration my friend!
Cheers Scott, it was an interesting build a lot learnt for next time .
All the best martin 👍
I had one of these new, as a nipper., and the tailboard loading platform DID go flat to the ground: I think it came with three plastic hay bales.
I'd love to restore one now, despite the complications and my general aversion to moving parts! I suspect the bigger-than-necessary hole on the bed floor was to accommodate the Simon platform Cherry Picker version (which came with a plastic lamp-post, if memory serves!) of this Jeep. There were quite a few variations as I remember it. No surprise that you managed a cracking restoration of it though - we have come to expect no less! Great save!
Cheers fraser, since finishing the video I have had some help ,and it turns out the rear black plastic ram was put in upside-down at the factory so I turned it up the other way and all is good now , just goes to show mistakes are made at the factory on the production line .
All the best martin 👍
Great result on a big challenge. Well done. Good luck with your operation, hope everything goes well.
Thanks Keith, I really appreciate it my friend
Nice one Martin. This was a tricky one but I'm sure whoever was putting them together at the factory could do each one in seconds. I never had this one a a kid, although I did have the forward control Jeep, with the plastic hood. Funnily enough, apart from the odd tractors and trailers, I didn't have much farm equipment. The only other agricultural stuff I remember having was a Matchbox combine in each scale, 1:76(ish) and 1:43(King-size). They both ended-up as "outside" vehicles and got pretty beaten up. Your videos have a habit of making me think about stuff that I didn't even know I remembered.😁
Cheers for now,
Dougie.
Thanks Dougie, I didn't have many farm ones myself as a kid mostly cars and lorrys.
Funny how seeing something again make you try and remember what you did have as a kid , and where thay ended up ,
All the best martin 👍
G'day Martin good to see another easy restoration!!!!!😳😳😳. Another top job, you certainly earned your money today. The production line would have cheered to assembled this one !!!!! A master class by yourself, great commentary and good camera work. All the very best to you, stay well and safe. Cheers Chris 👍🏻👍🏻🍻🇦🇺🔎🚜🏁
Thanks very much Chris its very much appreciated my friend.
This certainly was interesting and kept me on my toes ,with a few choice words thrown in .
All the best martin 👍
I felt your pain watching that Martin, great outcome, hope your operation goes well..
Cheers Mr P , I got it going to the ground now at the back , apparently a factory error by someone put the back ram in upside down . All is good now .
But it did try my patience and I few choice words.
All the best martin 👍
Hello Martin great video great paint work.not seen one of those before. Hope you and your family are keeping well hope you’re eye operation goes well regards Glyn
Cheers Glyn, its much appreciated my friend, not looking forward to the opp but it has to be done .
All the best martin 👍
Brilliant! Nice job.
Thanks Michael its much appreciated my friend 👍
Wow, that one really fought back, but you made it in the end. Best of luck with the eye operation mate, hope to see you again soon
Thanks Jan, it was a bit of a handfull but worth doing .
All the best martin 👍
Amazing restoration Martin . a beautiful model, to be honest, I'm also working on it now. Best wishes
Thats great paul ,I bet you don't get as mixed up as me ,looking forward to watching.
All the very best martin 👍
Martin, you did a magnificent restoration on the FC 150 Jeep, and the conveyor, not put together correctly at the factory (sometimes does happen,slip though quality control), that conveyor was a hand full to put keep together Martin, but you got it done ( hats off to you my friend). As always beautiful restoration & a interesting one too. You & your misses take care & wish you well on your eye operation 🙏🏻👋😎🚙🚘🚗
Cheers Jeff, yes it certainly through me for a while but , we got there in the end ,iam not surprised it was assembled wrong especially at the speed thay had to work .
All the best martin 👍
Admire your skill & bravery doing it that others can see how to. Great job done. I had touching up on the yellow too. Agree with Nick. Hopr your eye op goes ok
Yep lots to touch up .
@@martindaredare so did I.
That's one cool transformation no Clark of works at the factor that day lol well done rectifying the problem
Cheers, yes must have had the day of 😄 it did through me a bit ,
All the best martin 👍
Very good job Martin from Claes.
Thanks Claes,its very much appreciated my friend 👍
Hi Martin, another lovely restoration, and very enjoyable video. I've just sent you an email with a couple of photos of my Jeep Conveyor model. The rear conveyors on the one I have now and the one I had as a small boy both went down to the ground. My rear black plastic hydraulic ram part is fitted with the flat bit at the top so there is no restriction on the rear conveyor lowering. I'm sure yours was fitted upside down. Hope all goes well with your eye operation. Take care, all the best. Peter.
Thanks Peter, yes i got it sorted thanks with some help , apparently it was put in wrong at the factory, witch is not surprising considering the speed thay had to work at ,I bet there's a few out there like mine was .
Thanks for the mail I did read it and it confirms it for ne .
All the best martin 👍
Hi Martin, could you do a beginner’s video on restoring plastic windows, probably be helpful for people who are struggling with this aspect of restoration, especially me. Love the videos very helpful.
Of course John that will be part 4 ,it will have to be after my opp on Monday and I get my vision back .
Thanks for your support my friend
Hi 👋 brilliant thanks, good luck on Monday.
Very nice restoration Martin, i do like that particular model and hopefully i will come across one soon. I do have plenty to keep me occupied in the meantime. Good luck with the operation and thanks for the video, all the best mate.
Thanks Steve, there are plenty out there cheap,
All the best martin 👍
Oops I've just seen your update above since posting my comment below. 👍
Great Job Martin that looked like a challenging restoration ) all the best with your eye operation on the 8th 🙏
Thanks rob , it was a bit of a challenge thats for sure, and some choice language to go with it .
All the best martin 👍
@@martindaredare I had a left footed muddled week ) you perseverance is an inspiration Martin )
Nice one Martin ive had one of these in my collection to do for a long time . Your one turned out very nice the red and yellow go really well together I've also got the one with the cherry picker on the back I'll have to think about getting them done up. Hope all goes well next Monday Martin and you make a speedy recovery take care yourself mate catch you later.
Ralph
Thanks Ralph, iam looking to do the cherry picker one when I find one at the right price .
Thanks for watching its much appreciated my friend.
hello martin .quel patience que vous avait..good jobs....thanks
Thanks Philippe 😊 very much appreciated my friend 👍
Hi Martin it might of been a struggle but it turned out excellent as always. Good tip about taking photos before stripping it down maybe if I'd of thought of that I wouldn't have so many spare parts for my MG and I'd know where that elephant trunk thing go's 🤔lol. A bloke from the MG club is coming over tomorrow morning to buy the old gearbox and tail shaft. It will be good to recoup some money back on the old parts before xmas. Don't worry about not being able to put up more vids when you go for your op we have plenty of Martin vids to re watch just look after yourself and recover well.👀 See you on the next one mate take care.👍
Spare parts left over blimey i hope there surplus to requirement.
Its good that you can sell the spares Geoff,
Always taking photos made that mistake to many times .
I hope you are feeling better now.
All the best to you both .
Lovely restoration Martin as always. Love watching your videos & hope all goes ok on the 8th for you .
Thanks Gary, that's kind of you and thanks for your continued support my friend 👍
Holy moly! You ar a braver puppy than me Martin. That would have been launched into the bin at some point if I had tried it.
Cracking job.
It nearly was in the bin a few times ,but a 10 minute break away and a brew and all was right with the world .
Thanks for watching
All the best martin 👍
criminey, this one was as fiddly as they come... but you got it together in the end. :) watching someone trying tiny things like that makes me fingertips tingle. XD
and another one resurrected successfully. ^^ I got one laying around sans the belts, too, was part of a job lot. I gotta gather what parts I need and go to Model Supplies some day soon. ^^
Thanks Lothar, it was a bit fiddly, but worth it in the end my friend 😀
Amazing restoration Martin when you laid all the parts out I thought my God were do you start anyway turned out Perfect well done hope all goes well on the 8th for you take care 👍.
Thanks Adrian, yes a lot of parts and it certainly was an experience and I learned a lot ,so iam quite happy to do another one .
Good luck with your eyes man ill keep you in my prayers.
Thank you kindly its much appreciated my friend 👍
This Corgi Jeep looks great but it must have tried your patience well done mate.
Thanks Tony it certainly did a bit .
But now I have done it and its ok .
I would do another one.
All the best martin 👍
Great restoration - a real belter. I also applaud your editing as you have cut out all the bits when I assume that you used indelicate language.
Cheers David, yes the air was very blue at times but we got there
Lookin good martin my friend, 👍
Thanks very much Keith its really appreciated my friend 👍
Great work on that Martin..There was a lot of bits on that one mate
Cheers Brian, there certainly was and a lot of cursing as well .
All the best martin 👍
Awesome job Mart....regards PJ;)
Cheers paul 👍
And on the conveyer belt tonight we have ….Makes you wonder how they done the assembly in the factory ,hope you had a stiff one after that (drink) ,what they mean by forward control martin ,hope the eye goes well and take it easy
All the best Mark 😊👍🏻
Cheers Mark, I didn't get a brucey bonus.
Apparently my one had the back plastic ram put in upside down at the factory, stopping it going down at the back ,but with some advice from my friend who has one witch was right ,I managed to put it the right way up and all is good now ,well you live and learn .
All the best martin 👍
it was like watching an episode of the generation game and on the conveyabelt tonight we have many many parts. great colour match and well explained didn,t he do well to use a well known phrase. hope all goes well on the 8th all the best ian.
Cheers Ian , I didn't get my brucey bonus though, 🤣🤣 it certainly tried my patience.
All the best martin 👍
Hi Martin.
Hope you are doing okay.
Thank you for your video which I very much enjoyed.
I have been waiting for you to do this resto ever since you featured the toy on one of your monthly purchases video.
It goes to show how well Corgi designed and built this wonderful little toy for thousands of kids to enjoy back in the day
I have a base of one of these to restore without the top conveyor belt section so could you please let me know which red and yellow paints you used so I can have a go myself.
I restored an early basic model recently and finished it in a beautiful Hycote Bermuda Blue.
Got it all glued back together and was admiring my handy work when I noticed I had forgotten to put the spare wheel in !
Such a stupid basic mistake to make but that's all part of the fun.
I hope your eye operation goes well on the 8th Martin and I look forward to the next video.
All the best.
David.
Hi David I used hycote paint the red was Toyota red 3E5 and the yellow was van AA yellow.
I have done the same thing myself so your not alone, glad you liked it .
All the best martin 👍
nice restro martin , bit fiddly for me mind, got me dinky 973 up and running
Excellent news , iam pleased for you .
Thanks for watching my friend
@@martindaredare no probs look foreward to next one
So cool!
Thanks very much its really appreciated my friend 👍
Very entertaining…….. and informative (as in do not touch one of these with a ten foot pole unless you have a degree in Advanced Swearing!) I would also suggest never giving this hobby up in favour of singing 🤣
Really good job, looks great and I was agog all the way through 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
Yes the singing was the icing on the cake 😄😄 it wasn't as bad as it looked but i made a couple of daft mistakes witch I left in to show people.
But you need to watch the bad language 🙊
Allthebestmartin.
Hi Martin. Just wondering when you are going to restore the la France fire engine?
Hi Philip, yes hopefully when I get my eye opp over I will do it I have been looking at it recently.
All the best martin 👍
Very nice work as always R u ok my friend need help u know Lee so Lee
Thanks Lee, iam not to bad my friend, I hope you are well .
Always good to hear from you
did you use the rams the right way around martin .. is one shorter than the other ??
looks like the ram is hitting the grey cage stopping it from dropping fully
sussed it ... both blocks on the black plastic rams should be at the top the rear is upside down not allowing it to drop fully
No prize for you paul tried that the lugs on the frame won't let you do it and it won't go together right .apparently the back doesn't go right down .
No it just fits in ,the ram bottoms out .
Both rams outer and inner are the same size. The only way would be to cut down the plastic ram at the back and nip a bit off the inner rod .
Thanks Paul for your input 👍
Not for the faint hearted is it. Admit the back one was a pig. I didn't think to warm the belts up 1st. I fitted the pins & rollers 1st & stretched the belts over it
Cheers Ian, you certainly were not joking.
Managed to get the back ramp to go right down, apparently some of the plastic rams were put in upside down at the factory, so turned it up the other way and all is fine now .
@@martindaredare I did one for a young lad for Christmas. Think I've got a bit of work to do. One thing you didn't show was something I sidestepped. Didnt know if you did the same. The original had warning chevrons on the tail ramp. Figure with a bit of jiggery poker, you could paint them on or get a decal for it. A one off really in my books, any worth any expense. Assuming one is available
Nice ! Is it 1:43 scale ?
Yes my friend its roughly that scale .
Thanks for watching 👀
BIT LIKE DRAWING TEETH
Sometimes, thanks for watching its much appreciated 👍
