I bought the beautiful Tonka Car Carrier Truck on eBay for € 30. The Tonka Car Carrier Truck is very large. It is 1.20 m long in total. So that the truck looks like new again, let's start with the restoration.
First of all, the Tonka Car Carrier Truck was completely dismantled. Then all metal parts were freed from rust. Since the parts were so big, it took a while until everything was sandblasting. Actually, the freshly blasted parts should be coated with the powder gun. Unfortunately the Tonka Car Carrier Truck is so big that the parts don't fit in my oven. That's why I had to paint all parts with the spray can. First the parts were primed and then painted with the appropriate color.
Since the engine grill was busy I made a new one. I took the engine grill from the Tonka Mighty Dump Truck as a template. With a vacuum machine it is possible to produce a new part by molding. The Vaquform company made one of their devices available to me. If you are interested, take a look at the website of the company Vaquform. They have really very good products.
The bikes were actually in good condition. It was just washed. Small stones that were in the cracks of the wheels were removed with a flat screwdriver. Since the old axles were pretty rusty, I made new ones. To make the headlights white, I put them in hydrogen peroxide. After 12 hours, the headlights looked like new.
Grant all components were assembled. Of course, the original stickers should not be missing on the Tonka truck. That's why I got some stickers on Ebay. It was a very nice restorations project. If you liked it, give a thumbs up. Don't forget to leave a comment.

The more Tonka Toys the better!!!👍🏻We both love to restore them 🎬🛠
you're right 👍
Ok dude, that vacuum-formed grill was a home run! Excellent job!
thanks 😊
Perfect restoration! So smooth...I’d eat it! 🤩. Great job! I may have to try restoring a tonka! 👏👏👏👏👏
I'm glad that you like it. 😊
Thanks for bringing these old trucks back to life. Used to play with most of these when I was a kid.
It was really a great project. there were still decent toys back then. 👍
GREAT paint job using the rattle cans!
I'm not exactly a fan of the aerosol cans, but the results are impressive. 😀
@@MWRestoration I would imagine other painting methods could seem less effective after you get used to the finish produced by powder coating but there is no drop off of results for you with this one. Thanks for your reply.
To me You are all those boys that became strong men, whlst playing with their Tonga toys. Love ya💝
Очень круто! Люблю смотреть, как вещам дают вторую жизнь)👍
thanks 👍😊
Estaba en buen estado, no era necedario ese trabajo. ¡Jamás volverá a salir de fábrica con su pintura y sus piezas originales!
eso es por supuesto una cuestión de gustos 😉
Se ve que nunca tu viste juguetes quien quiere algo con moo
@@josebonas6508 Se nota que no es un coleccionista serio, cuando un coleccionable tiene el 90% de su pintura original y el 100% de sus piezas en muy buen estado NO se restaura a ese nivel, basta un tratamiento exhaustivo de limpieza.
Hi from Fort Wayne, Indiana USA 🇺🇸
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Great job as usual! Hey love the way it was filmed. Pretty cool camera angles. Well done!
the friend me that you like it 😊👍
I had this toy as a kid, the only thing that can make it better is if you have the cars that came with it to complete the set, would love to see the restoration of the cars to go with it, great job thanks for sharing!!!
Same here. I remember two vw beetle like cars. A red one and a blue one.
Great job! The Vacuform machine is a game changer! 😁👍
you're right 😎👍
Excellent restoration. Going to have to dig mine out and restore it. Thanks for sharing.
cool that you like it 😀
Nice job with this Restoration! I just started doing restorations myself!
thanks 👍
I agree!
Nice restoration! Your rattle can paint job Looks as good or better than powder coat and I bet its cheaper!
Powder coating is actually not that expensive. actually just as expensive as paint from the spray can. But powder coating has the great advantage that it is much harder and more robust against scratches. 🙂
Awesome job on it as new! Perfect
The paint work came out looking quite good especially for not being able to powder coat. They sure had a lot of rivets on this project. Nicely done sir very nicely done indeed.
Respect to You! You take Time and Answer All Comments 💪💪💪 Nice Work
Thanks 😊👍
Gran trabajo..
thanks bro 😊
Great job on restore. Looks awesome
thanks 😊
Que lindo que ficou❤...quando eu era criança eu gostava mais de carrinhos do que bonecas❤
you're right. tonka was the best toy 👍😀
Sweet restoration job.
You really do have a tool for every purpose!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Details...Details...Details.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You sand blaster is powerful 💪
thanks 😎✌️
Great job on a restoration
EXCELLENT !!!
thanks ✌️
Great build and custom formed parts! So cool!
Nice. I like the paint more than the powder coating to be honest as it is more original. I like that vacuum molding machine. I have been toying with the idea of making a Mighty Tonka Wrecker RC rock crawler.
That's a pretty good idea🤩. (Build Mighty Tonka Wrecker RC Rock Crawler.)
Wow, it is large. I had a green dune buggy, a back hoe, a camper van (i'm not sure if it was a Tonka or not but the cardboard packaging said something like the rubber Wheels were warrantied for 5 miles...) You have an amazing opportunity to add discrete battery powered LED back lights!!
As far as I know, tonka toys never have leds
@@MWRestoration exactly. For display purposes some could be sneaked in. But I see what you are saying.

Die ihnen hier gelieferte Restaurierung ist mal wieder klasse. Wenn man bedenkt, was Sie liefern, sind Sie ein Meister.
This carrier dates back to 1968. I remember seeing this in stores when I was a kid, and was impressed by the size of it. It came with three Jeep Wagoneers. This is superb restauration job!!
You're right, it's a wonderful toy👍. nowadays you can't buy something like that anymore😭.
@MWRestoration, no, you can't, all you can buy new is the cheap plastic ones
Great job! Didn’t wanna use the kitchen oven?
i don't think my mother would be too happy about it 😬😂😂
Wow nice job
thanks 😊
me gustan los toka quisiera tenerlos todos que bonitos saludos desde cajeme
I don't understand, did you make a new vacuumformed grill and then install the old one again anyway? Otherwise very nice restoration!
Beau travail 👏
Brill, loved every minute
Tonka trucks like that one is a toy version of Caterpillar off road truck
Very nice job!!
thanks 👍😀
Looks great.
Excelente..!!!...ji ji ji...my Friend....Saludosss
Ace job! I never understand though why people dont spray tyres with silicon tyre spray? Makes them look great.... like new 🧡Try it!
I'll try it on the next project 👍😊
@@MWRestoration Great! Have you also seen the way to get rid of the ugly white bits of worn plastic on tyre treads? Its just like how plexiglass is quickly edge polished... a very quick run over a flame. White bits gone! Try it on an old clean plastic toy tyre. Axle through and spin it over a naked flame 🧡
Nice color match, considering you had to use paint from a can.
Fantastical
I like this
thanks 👍😊
So schön diese Restaurierung auch ist, beim Tiefziehen des Motorgrills (07:40) stimmt etwas nicht. Tiefziehen hat den Nachteil, dass die ursprüngliche Form nicht absolut identisch nachgebildet werden kann. Scharfe Kanten werden bei der tiefgezogenen Kopie immer weicher, runder. Das liegt in der Natur dieser Technik.
Im Video wird die hauchdünne Plastik schwarz lackiert (08:34) und eine Szene später wird das Original von Tonka eingebaut (08:45). Das ist daran erkennbar, dass es nun wieder dicke Druckgussplastik ist, die exakte, scharfe Kanten hat. Die tiefgezogene Kopie mit handgemachter Lackierung würde niemals so ordentlich und industriell gefertigt aussehen.

As nice as this restoration is, something is wrong with the deep-drawing of the engine grill (07:40). Deep drawing has the disadvantage that the original shape cannot be reproduced in an absolutely identical manner. Sharp edges become softer and rounder in the deep-drawn copy. That is in the nature of this technique.
In the video, the wafer-thin plastic is painted black (08:34) and one scene later the original is installed by Tonka (08:45). This can be seen from the fact that it is now thick die-cast plastic again with exact, sharp edges. The deep-drawn copy with hand-made varnish would never look so neat and industrially manufactured.
What is that clamp thing you use to rivet the parts together and the end caps for the wheels.
Great video by the way 👍
Here in the netherlands there are multiple of the same one but in blue and white...
Yes you are right. the car transporter was available in several colors. in blue, yellow, red, black 😊
I found shorly after in white with red
I have 1976 Tonka 2truck
Oha 😱🤩🤩 not bad
I liked how you cleaned the headlights too, seems no one ever does that.
Bonito
Good work my friend but why you make new thin grill and why you cut tire shaft in half ?
I reviewed again. What was the point of the vacuum formed grill? What I saw... Original grill seemed okay but dirty. The formed replacement looked perfect, but the plastic is obviously thin. So painting it was necessary. The final product looked like the original grill but clean... The question I have, because it's not obviously clear to me - after separating the shell from the original, and paint it, did you put the two back together? That is, skin the original, because it was dirty/roughed up? Could flame have smoothed the original grill, to hide the scratches, etc? What exactly happened with this?
Did you put any conditioner on the tires?
with a plastic conditioner
It turned out well but I have to ask why was it necessary to cut the axles in half? They looked in good condition.
When you make more video's dude this is awesome
You did a great job, but the wheels were not restored, Tonka trucks always had white letters on the wheels. Overall good job.
You could've powder coated the truck part & just spray painted the trailer
Amei o resultado desse caminhão de brinquedo eu até brinco com caminhão de brinquedo mais eu prefiro mais boneca do que caminhão de brinquedo e se você quiser comentar no meu comentário escreve em português por que eu não entendo em inglês se você sabe escrever em português por favor comenta 🙏🙏🙏
What is the blue sink thing you use to wash the wheels? What is the advantage of using that rather than a regular sink?
I don't have a sink in my workshop. That's why I use this blue sink. The advantage is that you only have to fill in the water once. Because the sink has a small pump integrated. In addition, the water constantly runs out of the brush, so you can remove the dirt very well. The washbasin is very versatile. For dirty screws, car parts, anything that's dirty. I hope I could help you. Have a good time
VIDEO 👍👍👍✌😎
😊
that was "very rusty"?
I've seen a lot of real trucks with more rust than that thing started with.
A little surface rust on only part of the trailer and the axles isn't quote/unquote "very rusty".
Nice but why did you not fit the 'Caution Air Brakes' sticker on the rear, it was part of your decal kit.
Super Arbeit ich! Schade wegen nicht mal 5cm konntest die Teile nicht Pulverlackieren.
Hast du vielleicht einen Link für die Tiefziehanlage? Die Interessiert mich!
Danke, gutes Neues und bleib gesund!
Michael
Da hast du recht, wegen 5cm musste ich alles mit der Spraydose lackieren. Muss mir einen größeren Ofen bauen😂😀. Hab den link in die Videobeschreibung platziert. @t

Like to restore things myself .just too darn poor to do it. 😫
Where in the world do you find all of these old rusted Tonka trucks?
Second
Nice 👍
How do you make the graphics for the decals?
I'm a bit bewildered at the need to cut the axels. That was just completely unnecessary.
first of all I had to mount new axles one way or another. Second, the hat caps were difficult to remove. but since i didn't want to break the rim, i cut the axles. ☺️
could have still powder coated the truck.

What is gauge and Brand of The Clear Plastic that you used to Make the windshields and grill?
I am new sub
thanks 🤩 😊
Why the decal change?
Would you mind restoring my tanka toys ?

Why didn't you just use the original grill
Matthew 5:2-48
[2]And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
[3]Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
[4]Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
[5]Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
[6]Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
[7]Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
[8]Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
[9]Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
[10]Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
[11]Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
[12]Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
[13]Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
[14]Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
[15]Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
[16]Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
[17]Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
[18]For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
[19]Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
[20]For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
[21]Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
[22]But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
[23]Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
[24]Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
[25]Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
[26]Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
[27]Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
[28]But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
[29]And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
[30]And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
[31]It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
[32]But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
[33]Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
[34]But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
[35]Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
[36]Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
[37]But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
[38]Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
[39]But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
[40]And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
[41]And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
[42]Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
[43]Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
[44]But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
[45]That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
[46]For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
[47]And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
[48]Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect....
I'll do the sandblasting for free!!

You may be my Tonka toy💝
