1964 Joustra Tow Truck - Full restoration - Antique rusty toy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Here is a new video !! This is a tow truck produced by Joustra (Jouets de Strasbourg) around 1964/65. It's pretty rusty and the clockwork engine wasn't working when I tested it.
Some parts were missing and I did my best to make new ones.
I also tried to make new decals but I'm not very satisfied with the result...
Tell me what you think in the comments !!
Please watch till the end to see this beautiful toy in action !

Nice that you did some upgrades which most restoration channels seldom do, but you didn't show much of it like the installation of batteries and wires and the restoration of the driver.
@@rapcom Thanks a lot for your comment🙏 The driver is plastic made and the paint was in good condition... I just cleaned it. I filmed the installation of the wires but I was a bit boring... I decided not to show it... Next time I’ll try to do better ! Thanks again ! All the best
@@TheFabrik yes please make your videos a bit longer, it is satisfying to watch almost in every detail. And thanks for showing how you recreate the labels.
@@rapcom sure I will !! Many thanks🙌
I agree with apcom on this, longer would definitely be even better, more of the processes and preparation. I promise that none of us would get bored....
Dude, the blue flashing light on top was the chef’s kiss on this project!
Thanks a lot Hubert 😃🙌
Outstanding! 👍🏻 I can imagine the joy of a child who was given this for present. 😊
Beautiful! I really enjoy watching these older European toys come back to life! As always, your attention to detail, creativity in replacement parts, and overall high quality make for very entertaining videos! Thank you very much!
All those vintage tin plate models look simple but in reality the number of parts and their origami like assembly is always amazing and a real master work of ingenuity.
I am always amazed at how many components these models have.
adding the lights was just awesome. It would be cool to have you go back to some of these older projects and tocuh them up with your current equpiment set up you have now.
Awesome, love the rotating blue light.
Ah ! Vous redonnez vie aux jouets de mon enfance . Bravo, c'est magnifique ! Merci .
Merci à vous !! 🙌
Beautiful restoration of a unusual and rather pleasing classic toy.
Thanks a lot Darrel 😌🙌
Awesome restoration, love this toy.❤
Tools are only as good as the skilled hands using them & you got mad skillz.
Your editing skills, subtle humor & restoration knowledge are on another level.
_I cannot imagine this channel not reaching 1 million+_ 📈
Thank you very much 🙏 The million ?!!? Wow… Someday.. Maybe… 😅
Another fantastic restoration. A lot of hard work condensed to several minutes and a joy to watch.
Thanks
Thank you Pete !!! 🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏👌🏻
El resultado quedó precioso. FELICITACIONES.
Beautiful restoration and a fine looking toy!
A tow truck with old Netherlands licence plate.
Thanks brother for the nice video and keep up the good work, love it.
Thank you my friend !! 😃👍🏻
No, it’s a french licence plate from ’ La Sarthe ’ 72
Definitely one of your best restorations
Oh thank you very much 🙌 !!! One of my favourite vid 😉
Man this toy had so many parts - I love these toys coming alive . I love the color and nice custom job on the missing items especially the hook! Really enjoyed watching mate!
Thanks a lot mate ! I have several Joustra trucks lined up for restoration but honestly it's a very tough job... No sure I'll make it again. Keep up the good work !
@@TheFabrik I saw your collection at the start of your video - would love to trade lol! Really amazing results and thank you for saving these items - I am sure it these will be played with for another many many years!

I hope that one day you can do a display of you beautiful work.
Very impressive work. I worried about the clockwork getting wet - but WD40 sorted that out. Great truck, nifty driver, complicated design, beautiful restoration.
Thanks a lot 🙌 that was tough, very thin metal, fragile, not sure I’ll do it again🤨
Genial. Me encanta como quedan
Felicitaciones
