I am aiming to one day retire and enjoy doing the very same thing. I watch everyone to learn as much as I can to one day show you a restoration that will make me proud and you feel like an inspiration. Thank you again.
oh exceptional work... just the beginning ad ..nothing breaking up this fine restoration. well there was an end one but those don't count because they don't mess with viewing you work
There’s something so fascinating and satisfying about your videos. I’ve probably still got some to catch up with but your restorations are wonderful mate
@@gordonliddy7971 Technichally it's called "media blasting" because you can run different types of abrasive media through it, such as crushed glass or walnut shells etc. Crushed glass resembles sand though, so Sand Blasting is the layman's term.
Loved this little 3 parter. The only thing I would have done differently with the jeep, is during the original design at Tonka, I would have mounted the spare tyre inside the back section. But they didn't so you had to follow the original design. Still looked kick ass though. Great restorations, thanks for sharing 🙂
There is a slot on the side and the back for the spare tire. Not sure why the side mount is a thing though, it looks weird and doesn't seem very practical.
@@TRGRESTORATIONS oh cool. I didn't notice the slot for the back. Yeah side mounts always look strange. But oh well, Tonka thought it was a good idea lol, and that's what matters. Still looks sweet.
Excellent collection. Are you going to build an airport? 😉 I think it is smart that you’ve lately pre-assembled some of the body before painting. They probably fit together more snuggly and you don’t have to deal with the powder coating cracking when you bend tabs into place. 👍👍👍
Really nice restoration! Always amazes me how well the UV+peroxide treatments works taking the yellow out of old plastic. I also like the old school heat + oil anti-rust treatment - I like it a bit better than cold blueing. I think the coating you get is a bit more resilient (probably only useful for small parts like nuts and bolts and such).
Love your work I have watched all your posted videos on restorations. By they way UV light does not pass through glass but does pass through most plastics.
Wow! I looks like a factory fresh model! Since the other two are turquoise, I wonder why THEY chose to make the servi-cart white? Maybe sometime you could give us a shot of all the restorations you have done so far? I like seeing all the different types of models!
Great work, always love to watch your work. I do have two questions this time however. 1- what did you use to heat those parts up with 2- how did you do the rivets in the back. I have never seen anyone use anything but pop rivets in the back due to the fact they cannot get their rivet tool in the jeep
Beautiful restoration. I like a chrome front bumper. Front indicator lights need looking after. White or amber lenses doesn't matter. Rev counter, speedometer and fuel gauge decals on the dash not happening ?
Great restro, I been watching most of your vids and decided to jump into this hoping it will keep me busy. I am a vet and done a bunch of other things that never seemed to light that fire as much as restoring stuff does for me. Any advice for a green horn?
The trilogy is completed Tim and all look great. Question: It might be none of my business, but I'm curious of the investment you've made in tools and the many specialty machines you have, not counting the laser printer to turn old neglected toys and tools into beautiful and functional toys and tools. Just a ball park figure Tim. I look forward to your next episode.💖 👍 🍻 ✌
Hmmmm, if I counted and added up everything in my garage, I'd guess around $25K. A lot of what I have has been acquired through advertising and brand deals though, so out of pocket I've probably spent $15K
@@TRGRESTORATIONS I'm guessing that investment must help you turn out some beautiful restorations. I've watched other channels doing similar restorations but without those tools and machines the results are not in the league as yours. Also you have fabricating skills to make your own replacement pieces so your craftsmanship is on full display. Thanks for the reply Tim👍
Head over Heels !!
What a amazing restoration of Tonka Jeep!! It's looks like they're came out of the box!! Beautiful!!
I am aiming to one day retire and enjoy doing the very same thing. I watch everyone to learn as much as I can to one day show you a restoration that will make me proud and you feel like an inspiration. Thank you again.
Best of luck!
I had this Jeep when I was a kid ... Didn't know that it was part of a cool set!
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
That "Time to Paint" part gets me everytime, LoL🤣!
Don't take that part away, please!
lol glad you like it!
@@TRGRESTORATIONS, 👍!
THANK YOU for all of the sandblasting!! My absolute favorite.
Glad you enjoy it!
These are so satisfying to watch that I make time to just watch one of these a day over any other video despite being away on vacation.
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 enjoy your vacay!
Beautiful restoration job, the whole series of vehicles.

Great little series, and beautiful restores as always!

Well done, looks beautiful. Can't imagine many people have the complete set anymore.
There probably aren't many still intact.
My world is a little bit happier now! ✌🏻🎨☕️
Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I have an old Tonka Jeep that I’d like to get restored. I enjoy your videos!
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I think you should add a penny whistle sound effect when you slide the axels out 😃
Really love the Tonka Restorations! Great job!
Wow, that's awesome, love the triple video of the restoration on all three pieces, can't wait to see your next project
Thank you very much!
Yet again the master at work turns out another master piece. Nice set to display..
Thanks again!
Very very nice, I enjoy watching your restorations !!!
Thank you very much!
AWESOMENESS !!!!!!
Great work as always.
Unbelievable set of vehicles.
Thanks again!
Had 3 of them as a kid in the 60s
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
What a beautiful set
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I love this series. What fun! Another super restoration job. Carol from California
Thanks so much!
Good looking set of toys, ready for any runway.
You’re an absolute ninja! Sneaking up on me with a Part 3. These are amazing, mate!
Glad you like them!
Another great job! Thanks, Tim!
All the best to you buddy.
Thanks, you too!
2:06 you're wellcome 😉
Pretty nice job BTW 👍👏👏👏
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Perfect absolutely perfect the whole set WOW
If you don't like watching someone sandblast rusted metal, then you're a weirdo. I never miss a video.
lol tell 'em!!
Yeah, there's satisfying... and then there's sandblasting Tonka bits.
I'm a weirdo and I don't care who knows it! But I still like watching of sandblasting things clean.
**IS IT ""SAND BL;ASTING OR IS IT CALLED ""AIR BLASTING"""???**

Cool idea!
Hello TRG beautiful restoration good job well done my friend
Thank you 👍

lol doubt I'll be building anything any time soon. Maybe if my wife gives me her half of the garage.
@@TRGRESTORATIONS: Lol… fat chance of THAT happening, eh? Cheers!
Beautiful job on all pieces
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks Amazing
Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Good Restoration Car brother 👍 :)
Thanks 👍
The Jeep looks amazing!
Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
An amazing transformation. Love watching this channel
Thank you so much!
Tonka modeled several jeeps. They modeled the Jeep CJ from it's 1955 design, and then they also modeled the jeep Grand Cherokee.
Amazing as always! Hope to see more series like this in the future!
More to come!

YEP, Said it before say it again those colors have a serious 1960's-70's Pan Am feel going on.
A solution for the Monday blues: Watch a TRG Restoration video.....YAAAY Sandblasting time!
Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Beautifully done. It's art.
Thank you! Cheers!

Not sure why they chose the color scheme. Someone told me that was the color scheme of one of the local airlines near Tonka at the time.
LOOKS GREAT!!

Danke 🤘🏼
Great work, TRG. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🚙

Great work, looks good man.
Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Great work, always love to watch your work. I do have two questions this time however.
1- what did you use to heat those parts up with
2- how did you do the rivets in the back. I have never seen anyone use anything but pop rivets in the back due to the fact they cannot get their rivet tool in the jeep
It was a magnetic induction heater. My rivet tool fit in the back of the jeep, it just ended up not filming well, so it didn't make the final edit.
Hermoso!
Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Love how it turns out 🙌🏻🎉☝🏼
Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Great job!
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Great job
Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Four rivets in the body and an all-plastic interior. Strikingly similar to a modern Jeep.
lmao!!!! probably just as confortable too
Muito lindo parabéns
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
You can keep for your collections of this Tonka Jeep. Nice restoration from #VillageRestoring
Thanks, will do!
Great video/restoration, I'm a little unsure however how the Jeep fits in the set ? Maybe I'm missing the connection 🤷♀️
Not sure either, I guess they just needed a third vehicle 🤷🏻♂️
Lindo perfeito.... parabéns
Lovely job to complete the set - and first comment!
Thank you! Cheers!
Makes a nice set! Did tonka ever make a jet?!?!
They made a couple of cheap plastic ones in the 1980's. But nothing that would have gone with this set in the 1960's
@@TRGRESTORATIONS that's too bad... A cool old metal plane/jet done to match would be a nice addition to the set.
Beautiful restoration. I like a chrome front bumper. Front indicator lights need looking after. White or amber lenses doesn't matter. Rev counter, speedometer and fuel gauge decals on the dash not happening ?
