Danny the miracle worker, that was one hell of a restoration, when I saw the paint stripped casting I was convinced you were going to use a load of donor parts from other models, but apart from a set of wheels and the back plastic all repaired and looking like new. Fantastic Job Danny, looks like its just come out of the box after getting home from the shops with it.
There is an old saying: " You can't polish the turd " but you have proved that you actually can... I'm speechless... is amazing. I love it. Looks like the original new one
Excellent superb outstanding beautiful jaw dropping eye popping amazing outstanding what else can I say about this restoration great job you did restoring this beautiful car keep up your excellent work.
I will also add stupendous stunning and incredible work
Absolutely unbelievable! You literally brought this one back from the grave! Hope there were no zombies in there, or you'll need to run for it in one of your post apocalyptic jobs! Great stuff!
Considering where you started and what you had to work with, WOW! Your surgeon like skill has really polished that garden turd into a thing of beauty and awe. Bravo!
Now that is a restoration. You are a master at your craft.
Super restoration cool nou velle lave😊
WOW - just WOW - that restoration looks factory fresh. If I did not see it with my own very eyes I would say you just found an original one.... this looks great!
I had the 1971 matchbox Alfa Carabo. I found out that when I released the car on the edge of a filled tub, the car always made a full loop while sinking because of the aerodynamic/hydrodynamic shape of it. It was amazing to watch. Good job sir. Well Done 👍
Holy shit, we all know that you are a master at what you do but when I seen this one I thought there is no way, absolutely no hope for this casting. But you pulled it off in true style. This build is definitely a home run. Truly amazes me. Excellent, excellent job. Thanks for sharing, take care and stay safe.
Cleaned up much better than I thought it would. It's nice to see an expert at work take something that looked irretrievable and make it look like this.
Shabby to shiny indeed. You're a magician, Danny!
Truly an AMAZING restoration!
Bonus point for that Sliver Thumbnail! :D
Great work!! I bet this poor fella only thought itd see dirt and detoration, sweet rescue!
WOW very impressive. Just love the yellow with the pink. Well done
Very good craftsmanship and restoration of the car.
WOW! Took a lot of body work! Amazing result! Great job👍👍
You really brought that one back from the edge of extinction, Danny! It's hard to get things perfect when they've got pitting like that, but your dedication to excellence really shows in projects like this one. Really nice job!
bel lavoro....dove hai preso il portellone posteriore nero?un mio amico mi ha regalato un rottamino....ma e da sistemare....ma non ha il portellone😪complimenti per i tuoi lavori
There's no way I could ever downvote this video. Excellent work.
Fantastic job Danny ,it looks as good as new,well done.
Excellent job Danny looks better than new great restoration and video
That really was disaster, but now it's true beauty 😎
Awesome work again!
Tengo 53 años y todavía lo guardo a ese autito, es uno de los juguetes que mas me hacen recordar mi niñez. Saludos desde Rosario, Argentina.
Wow! Props on this. I thought you were gonna zinc plate it but you went another route. Awesome result.
what a "before" and "after" ✌️😎👍 great result
I think calling it a disaster was generous! I cannot believe how nice it looks and the amount of effort to restore this was incredible.This is a testament to your skills. Thanks for sharing this.
I am convinced that, absolutely No one else could pull this off !!
👏👏👏👏
Nice restoration ,details and paint job 👌 👍
Total respect for even attempting to restore that car. Now it's back to being factory fresh. 💯
That's insane, I absolutely love it.
great work

And next on Danny's Diecast Disasters... we have a go at the RMS Titanic...
Ya know, I'm starting to think he could pull it off....
@@playinwithfirecustoms7954 ~ if he can get spares from the HMHS Britannic, then nah, yeah...
Lol...I was thinking something similar. Where does he go from here?
Holy mother of pitting!!! I love Alfa's and would like to see it in it's Alfa Romeo factory green, but i do understand the restoration factor, to it's original Matchbox color. Great job!
Stay safe, cheers.
beautiful outcome given what you started with..great work!
It shows just how well made they were, to survive.
awesome work you definitely brought it back from it's grave!!! 😁👍✌️😎
That is fantastic and I love the purple and lime green those are my favorite colors
Man that was one hell of a restoration job and it came out awesome Good job man.
Super taf😊
I figured if ANYONE could restore that one, it would be you Danny.... incredible job!
I just... Wow. Danny, I can't even begin to believe you were able to fix this car. I've seen you do some impressive stuff but seeing the state THIS was in, I can't believe you actually went for it, and the results are incredible. that is, admittedly, the most 80's looking car i have ever seen, but it's awesome and i'm blown away every time i see the things you can do. I've learned a lot from you actually, and i've almost got a complete gaslands team built from the things i've learned from watching you. they are nowhere near as good as what you do yet, but your vids gave me the inspiration and confidence to try, so thank you so much man. you are incredible. keep making these videos and showing us how awesome you are
Fantastic job Danny.
I have exact same model just sitting in my cupboard but not as in bad shape. Color faded and no windscreen. Still has that original yellow chassis and pinkish purple body. So i smashed that like button and subscribed as well.
Outstanding work good sir!
THAT car was a concept car, and it would have been fun to collect. i like it when diacast manefactuers make concept cars, nice video!
WOW WOW Amazing transformation
That is an absolutely amazing transformation!!!!
Nice build.Great stuff!
Nicely done Danny
Time for me to get to work. I have one of these from a different manufacturer that I've been putting off, and it's not a percentage as bad as what you started with. I really enjoy seeing the really bad ones get saved.
What a brilliant job.
Wow!! I am happy that you have it a second chance. It turned out really well mate. Well done
It turned out fantastic 👍👍😊
Looks very nice
A lot of work!
I hear, "Hi I'm Danny and ...." and I SMASH that Like button!
Wow!! What patience you have. Just turned out very nice for what you started with. You could have grown some veggies in that. Great job Danny unbelievable. Stay safe.
This is my favourite restoration you've ever done. A genuine disaster, ready for the bin, and now it looks like new. Superb, Danny. 👌👍
Fantastic work
One of those rags to riches transformations. Looking good again.
Really well done!
Very nicely done!
incredible job!!
Excelente restauracion de este Alfa Romeo Carabo alrededor de 1971-1974. resultado excelente mis saludos y respetos desde Venezuela.
Great restoration
Truly I thought this car was too far gone after seeing its condition when the paint was removed. I'm happy and in awe that you've proved me wrong. Personally have always hated the color scheme MB released this in. Although I prefer a restoration over a customization 9 of 10 times, this time I would have gone for a custom paint job. Nonetheless, you amazed me! Have fun with your videos and your toys!!!
Amazing transformation Danny @ my favorite in long time! Congrats
Looks really cool I love the color.
What a difference! It may not be "perfect", but given the starting point, perfect it certainly is!! Beautiful restoration!!
One hell of a restoration Danny Kudos to you Sir looks stunning now! Peace, respect and stay safe, Ben
I admire you, although you revive the fallen, I admire you, I'm from Mexico, a hug, I always see your videos, it's great
This was one of my favorite cars when I was younger. I have to be honest though. I used it several times as a ramp for my motorcycle during police chases. It always seemed to be parked next to the bank during a heist..........
What a save!! Awesome 😎
A minor miracle,Danny.Well done mate.
Great work!
unbelievable transformation love that color. looks awesome
Holy heck! That's some spectacular work restoring this fossil! Awesome job 👏
Looks good as new great work
that is a proper disaster you started with! WOW!
Heh! I remember this little smasher from my youth. Crazy colour scheme yet it works! I certainly remembered it. :)
Would t know it was buried in the ground unless you watch beginning of video great job
Great recovery.
Unbelievably cool!
We're not worthy ... Amazing resurrection
Simply incredible... You're a real "miracle maker". Great job 👍
It was a car really impossibile to restore. Great job!
Wow! Great Job!
Otro trabaj estupendo😍 y parecia imposible!!! Yo tengo 2 carabos iguales, restaure uno con los colores originales de bertone, pero deje que mi hija jugara con el, y necesita nueva restauración. Espero que pronto pueda ponerme con el...😷 las circustancias lo impiden. Grandisimo trabajo!!!!!💓💓💓💓
Great job mate👍👍
Absolutely amazing transformation. Great talent.
AMAZING job love it👍
Your milliput skills are amazing! Good work 👍
I would have to say this was a Matchbox miracle!
Amazing job Danny! "A true die cast disaster" resurrection 🙂
Nicely done survivor restoration! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
