Ford GT 40 Le Mans Dinky No. 215 full renovation. Diecast model toy.

The Dinky Toys company produced this model between 1966 and 1970. This beautiful classic racing model required a thorough renovation and replacement of the glass. Since it was painted in many colors, I decided on classic white. I made him blue stripes from decals and a box similar to the original one. In later years, the model was sold on a cardboard base covered with a plastic dome. Thank you for watching the video, I publish car repair videos on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

You have a lot of patience and a lot of skill to carry out these very detailed and meticulous jobs.

A wonderful restoration of an iconic & cool car, done by a true master restoration artist!! Paulie, you rock!! These are such cute little cars❤️❤️🥰🥰

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much Michael

[@steppoify]

Absolutely brilliant. What a spectacular restoration and customization. The paint scheme of the American LeMans brilliant white with blue stripes looks SO good for this body type. The decal applications with the inspired use of the softening liquid allowed full impressions in the casting's detailing. Your engine and suspension coloring enhances the fun reveal when opening the front and back body components. I especially liked the addition of Talbot mirrors with their aerodynamic bullet configuration!! ❤❤🎉

nicely done, the decals look great. ^^
curiosuly enough the late version of this casting with the disc wheels is more valuable than the spoke-wheeled version. saw it at a toy fair where a playworn disc wheeled one costed more than a mint and boxed spoke wheeled in silver. then again the spoke wheels look way better. ^^

GT40 jest właściwie znany w kolorze niebieskim/pomarańczowym... ale oczywiście były też inne warianty kolorystyczne 😜
Świetny samochód wyścigowy i świetny model Dinky. 🤩
Kolejna wspaniała wygrana dla "Team Paul Restorer" 🏁🏆😃 Świetna renowacja, jestem zachwycony. Na szczególną uwagę zasługują nowo wyprodukowane "szklane części" oraz "chromowany" silnik i detale techniczne. Prawdopodobnie nie muszę nic mówić o doskonałym, "oryginalnym opakowaniu"...😜🤣
Paul, dobra robota, wyraźnie oba kciuki w górę za ten 👍🏼 👍🏼
Dzięki za udostępnienie 🙏🏼
Miłego tygodnia dla Ciebie i Twojej rodziny, bądźcie cali i zdrowi. Tak trzymaj, przyjacielu 😉
Pozdrowienia z mglistego Morza Północnego.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
The GT40 is actually known in blue/orange... but of course there were also other colour variations 😜
A great racing car and a great Dinky model. 🤩
Another outstanding win for "Team Paul Restorer" 🏁🏆😃 Great restoration, I'm thrilled. The special highlights are the newly manufactured "glass parts" and the "chrome-plated" engine and technical details. I probably don't need to say anything about the, excellent, "original packaging"...😜🤣
Paul, well done, clearly both thumbs up for this 👍🏼 👍🏼
Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏼
Have a great week to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Keep up the good work, mate 😉
Greetings from the foggy North Sea.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Man kennt den GT40 eigentlich in Blau/Orange... aber natürlich gab's auch andere Farbvarianten 😜
Ein großartiger Rennwagen und ein tolles Dinky Modell. 🤩
Wiedermal ein überragender Sieg für "Team Paul Restorer" 🏁🏆😃 Tolle Restaurierung, ich bin begeistert. Besonderes Highlight sind die, neugefertigten, "Glasteile" und die "verchromten" Motor und Technikdetails. Über die, exzellente, "Originalverpackung" muss ich wohl nichts sagen...😜🤣
Paul, gut gemacht, ganz klar beide Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼 👍🏼
Vielen Dank fürs teilen 🙏🏼
Dir und Deiner Familie noch eine schöne Woche und bleibt gesund und munter. Mach weiter so, mein Freund 😉
Gruß von der nebligen Nordsee.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠

I did it consciously because the seat belts at the back prevented me from putting on the registration. Besides, the car is typically prepared for the track, so it doesn't have to have it. Best regards.

[@andrethib]

nice job, as always. I noticed that every once in a while, you use paint stripper instead of the caustic soda solution; is there a technical reason for this, or do you just occasionally run out of caustic soda?

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much. Caustic soda weakly removes varnish applied using the powder method and some types of metallic paint, then use the chemical agent v33. Similarly, if you work in a room that does not have sufficient ventilation, then you give up caustic soda
