    Great restoration, I received this same transporter when I was seven years old. That was over sixty years ago and I still have this today.

    When some kid was lucky enough to get one of these as a gift they would certainly have been blown away. The red one is my favorite of the two. Awesome job Rob.

    And once again, Ladies and Gentlemen, Matchbox Garage has delivered! Great job, Rob. Both paint jobs are awesome but I've never seen the red and gray one before.

    Big round of applause from my 2.5yo son here. Both look great - Blue one got the nod from him, although I personally liked the red/grey.

    I can remember trying to come up with 52 cents to buy a Matchbox car. 55 years later, I still have them.

    I received one of those Car Transporters with 4 cars for Christmas one year. It was great and I am sorry to say I don’t remember what happened to it. Red & Gray definitely. Thanks for posting.

    3m automotive spot putty works great for filling pits up and doesnt dry out over time.

    Amazing, nice job. Blue is nice, red and gray is elegant ... but in the end ....point for blue.

    I've got one of these, have been thinking about renovating it for decades, this has inspired me, I'm definatly going to do it... its a Bedford S TYPE and use to come with a tin ramp to load the cars.. got it when I was around 8 or 9, now mid 70s...

    Thanks again for the makeovers! This one is of interest to me in particular as I am trying to restore a tractor trailer / car transporter and trying to figure out to disassemble and remove the paint properly. As usual, fantastic, and thank you!

    Like the job you do on the diecast cars you restore. The reason why the model filler could be setting off is because of the environment in which it is stored. I had that same problem with some Flex Seal in the can.

  • @bobfellows5758

    A nice model in its own right, but, also a good platform to show off a few cars in your collection. Really lovely.

    Beautiful colours and great paintjob, 😎
    That chrome grille and bumper breaks that red nicely 😀
    I like both of them, but little bit more of red one.

  • @silentdusty73
    @silentdusty73 4 роки тому

    I like that you chose to do the alternate version, the red and grey is really cool. Both of these trucks are amazing! I prefer the red and grey just a smidge over the blue. You continue to impress me with your work. I don’t think I’d have the patience to do what you and your fellow restorers/customizers do.

  • @normanhumphrey9695
    @normanhumphrey9695 4 роки тому +1

    Really fantastic restoration on this wonderful casting. I love them both and would choose the blue for its originality and the red and grey for its good looks so too hard to call. They sure look smashing with their loads of beautiful restored cars aboard, you need to do a photo shoot at a car show diarama. Take care and be well.

    Next time you have to deal with rust like that, there is some stuff called naval jelly. I buy it at an auto parts store. It completely removes rust. It is an acid so you do have to take precautions.
    Both of these transporters are beautiful. It's hard go choose which is a favorite. I like the red one just a little more.

  • @Syxx423
    @Syxx423 4 роки тому

    That came out beautiful! I'm not sure which one I would say I prefer. I like them both. The blue one just pops, and the red/grey one adds some really nice contrast. I know one thing's for sure, if I was a kid growing up in that time period, I would want that car hauler in the worst possible way. lol

    @carlweyenbergh4059 4 роки тому

    Great job Rob. I do like the red and Grey one more than the blue one. The gold and green option (as the people repainted it) would be a nice addition if you get another one.

  • @GodPikachu
    @GodPikachu 4 роки тому

    Lovin it!, great work. Ooh also,i recommend for filler you use Milliput, as its 2 part, it doesnt go dry while its sat in the drawer, unlike humbrols stuff that already has the hardner mixed in and immediately starts drying when the air gets at it, found that one out the hard way i did.

      @SharpblueCreative 4 роки тому

      Matchbox Garage yes - I did - remember. I started watching this video wondering if you’d do the red and grey version - I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat when you said it was going to be the rare variant. It looks bloody amazing. I’m itching to get back into restoration of these old toys. The last restoration I personally did was two Dinky Eagle Transporters back in 1997. I really want to start again soon.
