Ford Transit Kamper and Hanomag Henschel. Custom restoration of 1970s Siku models.

Siku is a leading German manufacturer of die-cast models. In today's video I dealt with two very popular models: Ford Transit Kamper and Hanomag Henschel delivery van. Both models were produced in the 1970s in different versions. I bought them at flea markets and decided to renovate them. It is practically impossible to find spare parts for Siku models, so I had to improvise a bit. I used similar parts that I had and that's why today's restoration is called Custom. I also made boxes for these models so that they could be complete again. Thank you for watching the video, I publish car repair videos on Tuesdays and Saturdays. You can turn on subtitles in your language with commentary on the activity in the video.

Hay Paul when our we going kayaking you did a great job on the Van and the truck thanks again for letting us watch see you on the next project 👍👍👍👍👍👍🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

Great! Awesome job with the door.
When i was a kid, i liked Siku the most.

Thank you very much

Sensazionale un nuovo restauro con i fiocchi, sempre una nuova emozione.Ti ringrazio per i tuoi fantastici video❤❤❤

[@PaulRestorer]

Grazie mille

[@steppoify]

So much work had to be done for these custom restorations. The "door" ordeal, kayak fabrication, cargo configuration, and more. The wheels on these Sikus were underwhelming. No rims and tires. Your prep, color selections and application were great. While a Siku may have it's charm, Solido, Dinky English and French, Corgi, and Mercury are superior in every way IMO. Perhaps I'm being too elitist, but your superlative process and skills deserve better clay to make bricks.The Truck's box was a real challenge as well. Great job, Maestro.❤❤😊

Thanks Paul! The Hanomag was my favorite toy back then. Mine was blue. Unfortunately run over by a lawnmower 😢😅.
Cheers from Germany and a nice Weekend to all! 🧘‍♀️

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@rosemorrison7075]

Beautiful restorations as always Paul. I particularly liked the use of the magnets to hold the kayak, as I also make bead necklaces. Your boxes were lovely too. Stupendous work from s Maestro. Thank you Paul. A lovely way to start the day!

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@fredburley9512]

Lovely job again. Good to see some different toy manufacturers.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@teebodk3917]

You really are a master of coming up with solutions for impossible situations. In the case of Siku, it gets even more diificult to replace parts due to their weird choice of scale - in between "normal" Corgi/Dinky-scale and Matchbox 1-75s. Majorette seems to fit the best out of all options existing, so very good that you happened to have spare kayaks from them to use for the camper.
I was quite surprised to see the sloppy placement of wheel tampos on the camper, not what you'd normally expect from Siku, and I agree with your decision to replace them.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

WOW... dwie renowacje 🤩
(A także wspomnienia z dzieciństwa 😉)
Obydwa modele doskonale pamiętam.
Osobista atrakcja?🤔
Właściwie wszystko, ale przede wszystkim (21:36) „Mocowanie” kajaka do dachu TRANSITU za pomocą magnesu ‼️👍🏼 (po prostu genialne)
Paul, jestem absolutnie zachwycony; Zdecydowanie dwa kciuki w górę za to 👍🏼 👍🏼
Dziękuję za udostępnienie 🙏🏼 i tak trzymaj przyjacielu 😉
Życzę miłego weekendu Tobie i Twojej rodzinie, bądźcie zdrowi i zdrowi.
Pozdrowienia ze słonecznego Morza Północnego.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
WOW... two restos 🤩
(And also childhood memories 😉)
I can still remember both models well.
A personal highlight?🤔
Actually everything, but especially (21:36) The "attachment" of the kayak to the roof of the TRANSIT using a magnet ‼️👍🏼 (simply ingenious)
Paul, I'm absolutely thrilled; Clearly both thumbs up for that 👍🏼 👍🏼
Thanks a lot for sharing 🙏🏼 and keep it up, mate 😉
Have a nice weekend to you and your family and stay safe and sound.
Greetings from the sunny North Sea shore.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
WOW... zwei Restaurierungen 🤩
(Und auch Kindheitserinnerungen 😉)
An beide Modelle kann ich mich noch gut erinnern.
Ein persönliches Highlight?🤔
Eigentlich alles, aber ganz besonders (21:36) Die "Befestigung" des Kajaks auf dem Dach des TRANSIT per Magnet ‼️👍🏼(einfach genial)
Paul, ich bin absolut begeistert; ganz klar beide Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼 👍🏼
Vielen Dank fürs teilen 🙏🏼 und mach weiter so, mein Freund 😉
Dir und Deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende und bleibt gesund und munter.
Gruß von der sonnigen Nordsee.

Sehr schöne Arbeit, aber ein paar Fehler sind auch dabei. Beim Ford: Die Herstellung der Türe war hervorragend, aber sie hätte sich auch öffnen lassen müssen und die Radkappen haben auch ein anderes Design. Beim Hanomag ist die Ladung zwar sehr gut gewählt, aber bei einer Restauration sollte diese auch original sein. Aber wie gesagt, ansonsten fantastische Arbeit.

I have an idea for a conversion. A South American company created a station wagon version of the 1952 Studebaker (there's a photo of it in one of the books on that marque), and I get the idea that you could make one of these with the Dinky version of that particular model. Up to the challenge? (I'm sorry to have to comment like this but I don't know how to get in touch with you personally.)

please write to me by e-mail, it is on my UA-cam page or contact me via Instagram and you will give me more information about this conversion. Best regards
