You are a craftsman. I find it very relaxing to watch you. You don’t get frazzled about anything. I started collecting Corgis when I was 8 years old in 1965. My frost model was the pale yellow Aston Martin. Now 100 models later......
Peter Riggall thanks mate, glad you enjoy the videos 👍
We all love this great bloke. A natural.
Hi Bob, Your restorations NEVER cease to "AMAZE" me.
Your chrome-work & detailed painting of lights, etc.is AWESOME!!!!
This ( finished ) Mercedes Pullman is nothing but "PERFECT"!!!! I LOVE the color.
Your paintwork is exceptional. I'd never believe you use a spray-can. Your restos ALWAYS look air-brushed.
I can't wait to see your next project. THANKS for "ALL" you do.
Kindest regards, Ben
DUYGU KAYHAN IS A SKANK Thanks again mate, yes I prefer using the spray can approach they go quite a long way and no having to clean out spray guns and stuff afterwards! Also I’ve no room for a compressor to operate airbrush equipment in the size of my shed anyway, you soon get the idea how to use the cans properly for a great finish after the practice I’ve had 👍😄
It's a very good video and very well done restoration but I would recommend you getting either a small Dremel Stone or something like a a little grinder wheel to get the burrs off which will help you in the past in the future we all want it
what a job to take apart and put back but worth it the car now looks fantastic don't think I would want to tackle that great job you done there
I had one of those! age about 9, same colour too. I had no conception of the intricacies inside until now. (I think the manufacturer put the underside transparency in to show off the intricacies...but I still didn't notice.) Moving wipers was the big novelty of that one. Had Corgi kept up those innovations, kids would've needed a driver's licence to buy a model.
Another excellent job done there Bob, I didn't realise there were so many parts on these cars.
🙂🙂
Thank goodness you made this video , I had photographed it while taking it apart but still had trouble working how it went back together , you made a lovey job of this one
Nice restoration and good detail explanation
Love your honest no nonsense approach. Your humility shines through, you make a small mistake in putting it back together, yet you are not fazed you just redo it. Others would edit that out the final video. Your application of your knowledge and calm methodology helps others to undertake this for themselves. Great work Bob. P.s. You forget a touch of silver on the door handles.
Well done Bob fantastic job and as we always say Bob's your uncle
Thanks to you sir,I was able to restore mine.keep the videos coming
Brilliant job as always Bob,once again she looks better than new.
You must have a great deal of patience to fiddle around as much as you do.
Keep it up with the great restos.
Another beautiful restoration, Bob! I like your videos, as you take the time to explain the steps involved. The assembly line workers had to have incredible patience. Right now I'm working on a Land Rover pickup and Mini Police van. Cheers!
rdk_metalmelter _ doing a Land Rover pick-up video for you at the moment mate 👍
hi BOB another outstanding restoration and some nifty out of the box thinking regarding the fly wheel situation. corgi put it on as a dust and grime cover your a very talented patient fellow looking forward to the next instalment highest regards.
Beautiful work again Bob, Fiddly as it was but not ever getting the better of you, Thank you for another great restore. Cheer's John
Real nice job. One of my favorite Corgi models. Cheers!
Great resto mate! Nicely finished! RESPECT! Get a small paintbrush to brush the filings away save getting them in your fingers!
Awesome restoration Bob,absolutely awesome,well done sir.
Excellent video bob , now I know what to look out for when I do mine .
Thanks for your videos .
Super cool job
G'day Bob...Top resto mate!
It looks awesome👍
Very good job on a very complicated model.
Love your videos ive been a big fan bob your videos are a really big thing to me thank you very much (very good restoration
Great job Bob, nice and relaxed video with the issues shown and not edited out Great finish look forward to next job ...I use mylotol chrome pens here great product.....................
very good restoration! with the Mercedes (Keep up the good work!
As with all your resto jobs Bob the Mercedes looks great , i have said on a few occasions that i have the same model ,and this is the case here , i agree it is a pain to take a part and put back together, but they look good in the end. Look forward to the next resto. Rob.
Nice one. Maybe a micro fibre cloth on the desk to rest the new paint job on it when re assembling the car to avoid any scratches etc? Ive got on similar to this, same size with opening doors but Im not sure if it is a dinky or maybe spot on?
Gonads1259 Hi mate, yes I was a bit sloppy there not putting my cloth down, I had a feeling someone might say something about that 👍😄
Nice one Bob, I'm a big guy like you but would never dare try anything so fiddly and at 64 years old it's a bit too late to change. Utmost admiration for your patience and dexterity. Well done mate.
Rick Hubbard , Ha, Ha, I’m only a young lad at 58 😄
Beautiful Job.
really nice job bob
Nice one again but, no shortage of parts to fiddle with ! Although I never had this one as a kid I remember lots of advertising for it in the store where we got our Corgis and Matchbox .
Very good job! I have subscribed!
Another great restoration. Thanks Bob
You`re patience is amazing with all the fiddly pieces.
I wonder how they were assembled in the factory back in the day ?
I just purchased one of these on eBay.
Thanks to you I am now collecting Corgi Toys..........
bartverhaagen 😂 make sure you leave some for me 😂👍
Great video Bob well done
Looks great!!!
Just re-watching this & think the clear cover over the wiper gear is for protection. Sold as a toy, they didn't want kids getting their fingers or skin trapped in the mechanism
Bob as always mate, job well done 👍
Another Corgi I've not seen before and another great restoration Bob. Looks fantastic. What paint did you use? It looks like a really good match.
Derrick Roe Thanks mate, yeah the colour is called Ford Electric Current Red (Pearl) and I’ve also used it for the Monte Carlo Rover car.
Seems to match pretty well 👍🙂
Good job Bob look great Brian Thailand
Lovely
Hi Bob. I couldnt find a chromed base for this when I checked Flowers site. The 1st one I did had a missing section on a front wheel arch. I had to replace the whole car to get an intact one. On both of mine the steering wheel was flopping around inside the cabin
What a pain that must’ve been mate 🙄
@Bob Willis Corgi Restoration was indeed. Doesnt show that gear cover either. Both of mine were naff. Figure
d, you dont sit there admiring the chassis lol. Not up for resale. I can live with it
Got a few of mine like that. Oftentime never bother redressing the chassis unless it's a tin plate one & rusty
@Bob Willis Corgi Restoration I had one like that. Had to do same as you, but these seem plentiful & fairly cheap
👍👍👍
👌
Hi Bob another great restoration , do you do any Matchbox restorations?
John Moore Hi thanks 🙏 I’ve not really fancied the Matchbox Models😕
sorry bob should have posted on ere lol what colour is the paint bob for this i have this to do and the rover 2000 monte Carlo in the same colour thanks
Stop getting baked or nice ales lol
You need a better microphone.
John Parisi Sorry but I only use an iPhone for my filming and use a plug in mic, so if sometimes it’s a bit quieter it’s because I’ve forgotten to plug in the microphone! You could always turn the volume up mate 😉👍
I ain’t made of money and spend what I can on parts or models to restore for the channel so I gotta stick with the old iPhone 5 for making the videos as I don’t earn any money out of them!
@@BobWilliscorgi Bob, I'm Sixty-three and haven't worked in fifteen years. So if you wanna talk about no money I bet I win. I recently went deaf in my left ear so even though my volume is all the way up the quality of the recording has an effect on what I can hear. Better Mic means ease of listening.
I’m only 5 years younger than you and I have a constant whistling in my ears so most probably that’s why I didn’t realise I needed a new mic 🎙😄
