NEW MERCH..... Check out my Tee's and Hoodies at sk75.teemill.com/
Happy New Year! A BIG thank you for all those who have watched my first two videos and have encouraged me to keep going, I certainly have plenty more to showcase.
In this third instalment I am restoring and mildly customising a '76 to '84 Marojette Datsun 260Z No# 229.
I'm covering the most requested part with how I made the windscreens for the Escort RS2000. For now, in this video, I have covered the basics of it before I do a standalone one for quicker reference so enjoy..... :)
It would be great if you could follow me on......

Who needs a monthly subscription to cable tv when there are such finely produced videos like this on youtube. Well done sir, great choice of casting and i agree with you on detailing. Interiors detailed enhance the finished product ten fold. Cant wait for the next installment. 🙌🏽
Thank you very much its really appreciated :)
0:01 I thought I was the only one making that sound effects and crashing dramatization.
Cool custom
You're not alone. I think all of us watching these videos make noises. I also make them when I build airplanes. Tac Tac Tac Tac! Wooosh! Kaboom! (Mosquito attacking enemy shipping)
Really great channel you've got here! I appreciate that you don't just restore these cars, but you add details and personalize them. They look like actual miniature cars, rather than model cars and I really think that's cool.
When you get around to your video on your custom decals I'd love to see how you go about designing and having the decals themselves made.
Thanks a bunch and keep kicking ass.
Thanks Christopher I appreciate it. I'll get my way of doing decals up soon. Thanks for watching :)
Superb job, the attention to detail is outstanding. It's great watching your channel grow.
Thank you.... Without great comments like this I would still be hiding in my man cave like I have been the last three decades. Many thanks :)
Luv your restorations,,,in the mid 70s I'd go in the 240z and later 260z I was only a youngster and at 10 I squeezed into the parcel shelf area,,don't think I could now,,,I'm working on a Matchbox Dodge Challenger in red,,,,can't wait to get it done,,,to do the wheel silver I use a zero brush and cut it down to about a millimetre,,,,,Great vid,,,,have an awesome week,,,
Thank yo Irfan. I too much prefer the 240Z . My friend restored one many years ago and they look superb from any angle. Love them. Thanks for watching and your tip!
Great work top job finish, love the broom broom sound effects lol
Thank you..... I still a kid at heart :) All the best.
If you were to build irl custom cars you’d have a television show in no time.
Thank you Sir its appreciated :)
It was very detailed for a 1970s child, but so am I so...... great job on the resto.
Many thanks for watching 🏎🚗😁👍🏻
Really enjoy your customs work, very clean. I don't know if you do requests but how about a rally car? You seem to be a fan anyway. :P
Thank you Farid :) Its one that is coming up real soon, either the 205T16, the RS200 or I have a Porsche 959 that I may turn intoteh 'Rothmans' rally car. Thanks for watching :)
Good to see a toy car guy wearing a wedding ring: gives me hope. Another great job on both the video and car. Keep ‘em coming.
Hahaha..... I've always been a model geek and she knew this when she married me 16 years ago LOL! Thanks for watching :)
I had a lot of cars that ended up looking like that. We called it "mash up derby" and destroyed more cars than I would care to admit. Haha
Thank God toy cars don't come with real vehicle insurance. Haha
I think we all did it at some point and instantly regretted it LOL!
The first 10 seconds of this video completely blew me away. The sound effects and stunt driving put this in the realms of a huge budget Hollywood movie. Oh...and the finished car is fantastic!
😂 Well Lucasfilm was calling but I had other things on 👍🏻
SidewaysKing75 😂😂No end to your talents!
@@JURASSICDIVERUK many thanks I appreciate it 🙏🏻
I just absolutely adore this series.
It's *almost* like ASMR for people that don't want other people know that they listen to ASMR.
Thank you.... this has made me smile :)
I just got this in my recommendations. I get so much junk, and this I'm very interested in. I've watched other Customization videos, but yours never came up. So I subscribed and clicked the bell. I just want to say that this is one of the best jobs I've seen. You did something I've always thought about.....the interior, and your's turned out to be stellar!! Actually the entire car is amazing.
I had a desire to do this. I bought a really good drill, some good bits, the round wire wheels you had, some paint(some ended up being SO BAD), and of course brushes and paint remover. My first paint remover was a spray can and it wouldn't work on die cast cars. The second one, I did a bit more research, worked great. However I jumped in with both feet into a frozen lake. Research, research, research.... I should have gotten a Dremel. As I found out the hard way those metal disks are sharp and don't work on a drill. Trying to rig something, BAD idea. In my defense I received very bad news from my doctor. My financial situation was bleak as was my prognosis. Terminal emphysema. A slow.moving but eventually deadly COPD. My ability to hunt for Hot Wheels...GONE. The real depressing part, the USA FINALLY got Majorette here again. But I couldn't do anything about it, and the our EXCLUSIVE home for Majorette...Toys R Us, shut down for good. So now I'm stuck in a pickle so to speak, BUT I'm using this time to STUDY. Watch informative videos like yours and cram as much knowledge into my head as possible. That way IF I get a chance to try again I will KNOW EXACTLY what I need, why, and how to use and utilize them. So thank you. I have a couple older Majorette that aren't as rough as the one you did in this video. So now I have sone ideas....I hope..lol. I just don't want to mess it up. Majorette cars are so perfectly detailed and I also am a fan of the suspension. My races I used to run, the Majorette cars, when I'd run a ramp course would literally do a Dukes of Hazzard bounce after the jump....IT WAS AWESOME...LOL. Again THANK YOU. I really appreciate and respect someone that not only has incredible skills, but are willing to pass them on and teach others to do the same.
Major RESPECT and thumbs up.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Edster.... I don't quite know what it is about these little cars that gets people so hooked. For me it was THE toys to have as a kid, no XBOX'x or Playstations.... you either rode your bike and fell out of trees of played with Matchbox cars. I hated football and the like. The Majorettes always had a great selection of European cars with great suspension as you say which added to the realism. It was always Hot Wheels over here in the UK that was exotica! The other thing for me is its a cheap little hobby. All the old cars are ones from my childhood so I haven't gone out and paid silly money for them, they're worth much more in memories anyway, but the fact I've used them, trashed them and now fixing them up has come full circle.
With newer cars, again, they're cheap and cheerful. I don't go out of my way to buy them, but if I see them in a store, or walking past a store, I'll have a rummage and see what comes up. I begrudge paying a daft price on eBay for newer cars that potentially I come across for peanuts in the store. I've done this also for the last 20 years so have amounted quite a collection of new carded ones.
Thank you for watching , subscribing and the great comment. Best wishes
Terrific. Always enjoy seeing a little creativity when renovating an old model. Will look forward to learning about how you make your own decal sheets.
Thank you, I'll get that feature up shortly.
Soo good. I love your videos, and I cant wait for more
Thank you its appreciated :)
You do the best detail work I’ve seen
WOW! Thank you very much I appreciate it :)
This the type of channel i wished someone made , amazing restoration and detail work , these old castings once detailed properly rivals the current Tomica Premium line .
I subscribe ......... please keep pumping out more videos .
Thanks
Thank you very much.... There's lots more to come of all sorts of cars too.
Lovely choice of car! you gotta look into the Gaslands game.
Thanks I will :)
@@SidewaysKing75 The Mini's for the game are modified hotwheels and the like. some look like this imgur.com/a/O8UNZP5 but I'd love to see the type of work you could do!
@@G0ldmoon Oh WOW yes. I did do this a lot with 1/24th scale cars turning them into Mad Max apocalyptic vehicles. It would be something I would video one day as there's one or two I have ready for my Instagram page on this theme. Many thanks :)
@@SidewaysKing75 Awesome, do you think you might set up a pateron in the future? I think some people would be happy to contribute, if only to take some of the pressure off, and perhaps help with keeping the videos regular and consistent.
Yes dude, on,y found your channel. Couple of days ago and I am so hooked, even though you only have 3 videos, I can’t wait for more of them, keep going, stay golden
Thanks Jack its really appreciated :)
Love the way you play with your cars... making all those sounds with your mouth.... remind me of childhood..😁😁😁
Excellent work mate....
Thank you very much Shahriar :)
@@SidewaysKing75 wow didn't thought you would reply... thanks...and welcome...😊
@@shiru0011 I always try and reply.... I sometimes miss them the first time around but I get there in the end 😁
@@SidewaysKing75 that's pretty cool of you...
I'm HAPPY to watch re-born car on this channel.
Thank you its appreciated :)
R32 Nissan Skyline! That would be awesome! Especially a CALSONIC type racecar.
Pure art
Thank you Fernando :)
So amazing! Really glad I subscribed some video ago! Can't wait to see your next projects!
Thank you Chris its appreciated. All the best :)
Another brilliant job. Love what you did with the interior, too.
Thank you David :)
Awesome restoration !!!!!!!! I always loved the look of the Nissan Datsun. As my Dad had one in the 80's.
Absolutely stunning. Your detail work is impeccable.
WOW Thank you Aaron I appreciate that :)
I remember one night, after seeing the band SLAYER at airport music hall in allentown, pa, I rolled onto the highway and right next to me is a '69 corvette stingray. I raced that car all the way to the easton exit, and he was just playing with me. I had master of puppets on my stereo, and that L24 was SCREAMING! I was going 104mph, and I could'nt hear the music.
I got off at the exit, and rolled into a dunkin donuts. I got out and my legs were shaking. Never drove like that again.
But damn, that was fun. 1986!
Sounds like the good old days my friend :)
Great stuff! I love the detail and customization you add to these models. I’m going to enjoy watching your videos. Keep them coming!
Thank you its appreciated :)
The yellow FD and 180 on the lifts in the shot at the end look beautiful! I'd love to see them again in more detail. Maybe you could do a showcase video in the future highlighting some of your work on other models? I'm enjoying your videos, thanks for sharing your work!
Thank you Colby for watching. I didn't want to bore people with a look at my past cars actually! I could look into this though if others are interested. :)
Thank you for doing a variety of cars and not just Hot Wheels and Matchbox. Majorette is a line I've LOVED. The "suspension" always made those cars a bit more fun. But sadly they were never as fast as a Hot Wheels. But then again Hot Wheels didn't have the boing boing a Majorette had..lol. Anyway Thank You.
They did have that 'boing, boing' you're right 👍🏻 Made it more realistic when doing the getaway chases!
Another thing bout this channel is it makes the cars look badass
I've been wondering why no one is filling on casting mistakes or gouges. Glad to see someone who cares enough to take this extra step. Well done.
Thank you Jim for watching and commenting :)
This makes me restore a 2013 mustang that ive got from my friend a long time ago , cheers mate ! Keep doing what you are doing , you have earned yourself a new subscriber
Thank you very much its appreciated. Glad you got on to do the Mustang too :) All the best :)
Finally!!! Somebody detailed the inside of the doors, so much wasted potential. Brilliant job!! Love your work
Thank you for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Whaaaaa dude the detail you put into interior and lights is amazing
Thank you its appreciated :)
Great way to start off a new year! Your attention to interior detail is a pleasure to watch. Please keep up the quality work.
Thank you Brian its appreciated.
Another great clip thank you excellent attention to detail as always
Thank you its appreciated :)
I find these videos amazing. Love the level of detail you put on them. The transformation is worth the effort and time you put in.
Thank you very much it's appreciated 😁
Looks good. Just one tip for the Suspension: For Modell railroads you can by Spring wire in diferrent Diameters, normally they come in 100 cm length. With a 1 mm spring wire you could eassily built the beeded spring w/out hte hustle to get in form like with a paper Clip. I think a papaer Clip will tend to get " soft" over time and the spring efect will be much lesser.
Thanks for the tip Hermann.
Awesome job I love it and I love you little ramp truck
Thank you its appreciated :)
nice resto, the model isnt hard to find so i would go for one with better windows. i have 3 of them and the way you detail this car just shows how much details these old majorettes have. the opening part on majorette stay forever. thats quality but i didnt know about the details till you showed. good vid, thanks
Thank you Bent its appreciated :) They're great little cars and they've made some great European models over the years. Thanks for watching!
I always thought that the roof line on the 260Z 2+2 to be kind of hinkey of course it needed to be that way to have any kind of head room for the rear pax. I like the regular 2 seat 260Z better, but a brilliant job none the less. Just because I'm not a fan of the car doesn't diminish the quality work you put into it. I quite like the race car carrier that you made up, I was going to ask about it but you addressed it at the end of the vid.
Thanks Kevin, completely agree. I preferred the 240 over the 260 actually but the 2+2 always looked a little goofey over the rear head room to me. Mind you I'd still have any of them if I could :) Thanks for watching
Incredible physics simulation at the start
Yet another fantastic job on a classic sports car. Realistically done inside and out. I wish I had 1/4 of your talent ... I would never leave my workshop !!
Thanks Chris its a great source of relax time for sure when I disappear for a few hours ;)
Love the details but the paint ,u should try using an air brush
He has a couple of them but a rattle can is sometimes more convenient.
Thanks for watching Reyan. I'll do a video with an airbrush one day, its not something I think always warrants it when I have the colour already there in a can but will fire it up soon. Thanks for the comment :)
Great sound effects at the beginning ! And great video throughout !!!
:) I just can't help myself :) Thanks for watching
It’s a passion ! Lol
Another banger.
Thank you its appreciated :)
Ah the axle wiggle on the end of a matchbox crash, love it.
I have one i got it since 40 years ago still keeping it in my collection greetings from iraq.
Greetings to you to.... its great to hear they're still in your collection 🏎🚗😁👍
Your work is wicked. I loved the intro aswell with truck and the interior was on a next level. Carn’t wait for the next vid 👏🏾
Thank you very much its appreciated :)
Another great demo, agree with others audio needs improving could hardly hear this one even with volume on full...., loving the windscreen replacement and look forward to your more in depth version for the making of replacements. Not sure if you scored the new windscreen to make the folds/bends in it ?? . I will have another look to see if you mention it . Keep them coming Happy New Year.
Thanks for watching Phillip. I'm sure of the Audio a few people are mentioning. It's recorded with RODE Mics and ZOOM recorders, the best on the market. I deliberately lower the audio on the drills etc., as it overpowers the voice over if that's what people mean. It would be that harsh a ramp up it would blow peoples ears if I didn't. I do score the screens to make the folds you are correct and may not have made that clear so will do in a standalone feature. Thanks again and Happy New Year too :)
Thanks for the video, great work! I have the same model, inherited from my older brothers. I don't dare mess with it yet, still learning and practicing on some newer/cheaper/nameless models. Greetings from Brazil
Nice done sir!! Thank you for the primer on the windscreens and may 2019 be a better year!!
Thank you Richard you're welcome. A very Happy New Year to you too :)
I really like that casting! I even restored a couple myself :) This one looks rather good, I like the black bonnet.
Recently did a Majorette Honda Prelude that turned out pretty good, video on my channel.
The attention to detail is excellent.
Thank you its appreciated :)
Another great video, the more in depth you make it, the better the watch! I enjoyed seeing how you make new windows.
Thank you for that. Its a fine balance with the length, some say its too long,others like you enjoy it. I'll try my best to please but I don't want to cut out too much and skip areas of importance so thanks for the comment. Glad you liked it :)
i gotta say this is one of the nicest channel i discovered recently on this website
Great video and love the attention to detail you put into the cars.
Thank you Brett its appreciated :)
Great custom! Love those interior details!
Thank you its appreciated :)
Great job on the car
Thank you :)
@@SidewaysKing75 You're welcome keep up the videos
Yet again another masterpiece sir, love the splitter recovery truck 😍
Thank you its appreciated :)
Happy New Year, keep up the good work!
Discovered your channel I think two days ago, great content so far, really entertaining.
Thank you its appreciated.
post more retro resto vids pls! love watching the cars i played with as a kid being brought back to life. Hate seeing them in a sorry state in antique shops etc
Thanks for the comment David.... Plenty more to come :)
Wow! That came out beautifully! I have an old Majorette Volvo 760 GLE I plan on restoring and this video was a big help!
Thank you. I'd like to see that when its done :) Thanks for watching!
Yet another excellent video.. another old played with toy turned into a fantastic display piece👍👍
Thank you Tony its appreciated :)
Theraputical to watch. Looking forward to the next one!
Thank you Sven..... New one coming up soon :)
Here in the States we call those sanding sticks Emory Boards
Thank you..... Yes that's another name for them over here too. Thanks for watching :)
Excellent detailing at the end. Makes a huge difference to the final look? You have great attention to detail
Thank you very much :) All the best
Cracking video and finished car
Thank you Stephen :)
Another great vid, cool custom but the job you did on that interior was really nice 👍👍
Thank you Guy its appreciated :)
Dude love it ** Request Request ** Matchbox Superfast No. 55 Ford Cortina England 1979..........:)
Oooo I think I have that one to so will have a rummage..... Thanks for watching :)
Please turn "Nipples I guess" into a running gag and make some merch with it. Really love your channel and what you are doing. Keep it up!
Hahaha..... do you know every time I watch them I cringe then LOL! I guess I have something on the brain there with keep saying it :) Thank you Valentin !
I was quite a fan of Majorette models when I was a kid, I distinctly remember having a blue Citroen Acadyane, Would love to see how much detail you can put on one of those larger Bburago models, I was always quite a fan of those too.
Thanks Rob.... I was a fan of modelling 1/24th scale for a long time and you can cram so much detail into them with engine dress up's and fabric seat belts. I've always been drawn back to these little tiddlers though :) Thanks for watching!
By the way
GREAT WORK
I used to work for a guy here in Florida building 1/43 scale resin and metal kits,the company was called Formal 43rd
I love the crazy little sound effects. I’m 49 but still have, as most us chaps do, have that ‘little boy’ still hiding away inside of us. I do like the attention to detail. I’m inspired to rummage through some cupboards back at the folks where I know some of my old matchbox and stuff still lurk! Feel the need to bring them back. Would love to know where you get those cool wheels from on your resto’s.
Thanks Gary its appreciated. We all have that kid inside us as you say. I'm 43 and am more of kid, according to my wife, than our own kids :) Thanks for watching.
Those Datsuns are some of the best cars ever made!
They're a favourite of mine for sure :)
Insane! The car was reborn
Thank you very much its appreciated :)
I like how you do more detail that others I’ve seen, like the painted lights, bumpers, etc and your own decals! Great work!
Thank you its appreciated :)
Great videos man. Nice to see a UK builder on the scene too. I build and restore full size cars for a living but I love seeing toys being done with the same love and attention. Keep it up
Thank you its appreciated:) I've done some cars and bikes over the years, purely as an amateur car nut though, mainly as it was something you did as a young lad looking after your motors. It in turn ignited my interest and other than space and tools stopping me from doing the bigger jobs I loved, and still do, getting my hands filthy. Mainly do bikes nowadays. Thank you for watching :)
Lovely custom, I also really like those Lifts and stuff in the background on 24:58 , Could you make a video about them please ?
Thank you. I will do a series on the diorama stuff I've built but fr now there are some images of them in more detail on my Instagram page @sidewaysking75. Thanks for watching.
That is seriously cool. I especially enjoyed the Escort Rs2000 that you done.
Very inspiring, Keep up videos 👍
Thank you Robert its very much appreciated :) Plenty more to come.
Beautiful craftsmanship. Great inspiration for my own efforts. Wicked.
Thank you very much David. Look forward to seeing your creations 👍🏻
Happy New Year!
And to you my friend. Happy New Year :)
You earned a subscriber. Good humour, quality restores, excelent editing skills. Im up for it. Happy new year King.
Thank you Sue I appreciate the comments. There's plenty more to come so thanks for subscribing. Happy New Year to you too :)
That car crash intro was hilarious 😂😂😂
Nice job especially the windshield and glass, and great job with the interior paint!!!
Thank you Lee for watching and commenting :)
You blow my mind away!! Absolutely STUNNING!!!!
Thank you Martin.... Plenty more to come :)
Another great job. I followed you on Instagram. I've always hated it when people do a custom, not a restoration, and don't do the little details (i.e. tail lights, side markers or trim). Or they just slather on paint and call it a detailed grill. You never disappoint. Thank you.
Thank you very much I appreciate that. I guess its each to their own but I'm with you on that. I prefer to make them more of a little model than a restored diecast.... though again it depends what I'm doing. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
@@SidewaysKing75 I do agree with you with to each their own. And although I don't prefer it and it hurts to watch (LoL). I have seen some pretty awesome customs without a ton of detail. I have never openly criticized anyone for not doing detail and I never will. Everyone I've watched on UA-cam doing this sort of thing truly seem to do their best and enjoy what they are doing. Those are the two most important things in this hobby. No one can fail at this unless they don't really try. I'm hoping to get my channel up and running within a few months, I just have some home projects to take care of first. Like restoring an old door from the 60's to look nice so we can put in a doggie door without destroying the homes original door (we're renting). Again, thank you for your videos and sharing your knowledge.
@@woodandwheelz totally agree with everything you've said. There's a lot of stuff I like and an awful lot I don't but of the ones I don't I certainly wouldn't say so as it is each to their own and to them it's perfect, and why wouldn't it be.... Even when people give me grief for it I still bite my lip and am like 'Thanks for your opinion 😁👍🏻' ... LOL 😂 All the best
Next time you try a silver paint job, try undercoating with a Tamiya gloss black spray before putting on the silver, it'll make the silver look brighter.
Phils Custom Wheels from you tube. Gives u props. Nice job
Really good job, Nice realisation👌
Peace ✌️
Thank you :)
Absolutely superb as always - incredible attention to detail in the restoration process and some fantastic tips too - I’d love to see a full tutorial on the window making procedure? - Cheers.
Many thanks. I'll get that stand alone window feature up soon. Thanks for watching :)
Great stuff once again. Especially loved the paint work on the interior, often overlooked. Cheers mate.
Thank you. I enjoy doing the interior. I didn't want to start off to over the top but they do get more intricate in the videos to come ;) Thanks for watching :)
Interesting! Just today, the grandkids were playing with an old police car from their dad's childhood (late 80s - early 90s). I remembered that it possibly had a siren and the light functioning at one point. The writing on the chassis is a bit smaller than yours, I believe, but either way, I didn't discern that it was spelled "Ma". There must be a battery in their, right? Restoring these is the stuff of heroes!
Excellent.... There was cars I recall having flashing lights as a kid and also small motors to power them. I have a Hot Wheels from 1969 with a small motor to power it!
Wow! It's your attention to details that makes your work awesome.
Thank you dovasal its appreciated :)
Another wonderful episode! Happy new year!
Thank you very much. Happy New Year to you too my friend :)
That turned out beautifully. Wow. I WISH there were more places that sold axles and rubber tires. Especially big mudder tires for 4x4's. I haven't had much success in gutting cars for the tires. Plus I have a hard time trashing a car just for the wheels. Add to that my equipment isn't complete. I didn't think a Dremel would be necessary, but it can help a lot. I kind of went about it backwards. Anyway the tire issue for me is a problem.
Thank you Edster 😁👍 For 4x4 wheels and tyres try www.kyamsildesigns.co.uk/ superb 3d printed parts you need to paint but come out great. Also shopmonoblock.com/ and 'One:64 wheels' on Facebook
Honestly this is the best one so far
Keep up the good work👍
Thank you very much its appreciated, a bit long as someone has said but I'll work on that for the future :)
