oh man I had one of these when I was five. So cool to see one again. brilliant job
I like the way you refurbish damaged parts in stead of simply buying expensive replacement stuff. That's the spirit!
My grandma bought me this one probably around 1979, I was 3 or 4. I remember it was one of my favorites. Seeing this video really brought back some good memories. Glad it showed up in my recommended section.
The way you fixed the pistons with the hammered out paper clip was mind blowing. Well done.
Enjoyed your restoration and I liked your showing the tiny details of your work! It’s not boring when you see the end result! Thank you!
Looking at these cars from this channel brings back so many good memories
I had that one as a child in the early 80s. And the front axle was bent exactly the same way. Childhood memories coming up!
Perfect restaration !
Bloody hell I haven't seen one of these since I was 5 which is now almost 40 years ago! Can't believe the memories it's brought back from so long ago...it was my favourite toy back then 😊
NICE JOB DANNY YOUR EYE FER DETAIL IS OUT OF THIS WORLD BUD
Omg man! I had this one! I'm was born in 74. Wow you just brought me memories!! Thank you!
You had done a great job. I had this car transporter and the orange BMW when i was a child :-). It's 40years ago now.
How super fun was this truck for a kid back then!
@@DannysDiecastDisasters I had other Trucks in this scale from Siku and Majorette but no car transporter. This fantasy truck was a high light for me when i was 8 years old :-)
I had that thing and I LOVED it. I’m going digging in my attic now. It’s gotta be up there somewhere.
This gives a good feel for the amount of work that goes into restoration. Nice work.
Mamy thanks for this restoration video. I had one of these when i was a kid and this video brings back good memories!
Thanks for the nostalgia trip in seeing this and the hours of fun I used to have when I was wee 😊😊
I have a K10 that my uncle gave me. It's still in good condition, but one of the wheels is bent. Beautiful restoration!
OMG!!!! DUDE I had this exact toy as a kid!!!! Am sure it's been donated to charity ages ago...otherwise I would have sent it to you to clean up as it was ...err 'well played with' hahahaha
Thanks soooo much for bringing back some great memories 👍🙏
Impressive restoration - Marty would approve. I was extremely impressed with the effort that you put in to get the pistons to work. I am subscribing and will be looking forward to future videos.
Agreed, It is amazing how much work and effort are put into these cars.
Blimey that’s a blast from the past I had one of those,more fun than a PS4
Had this Matchbox as a kid. I always thought of it as Thunderbirds-esk as well. Good job on the restoration!
even without stickers your restoration looks really good. Love the music, it definitely relax you while you watch the video.
Pulled this one out of my old toy box from the 70's , mine still looks good. I ve got cases of 70's hot wheels in excellent condition.
Brings back memories as I had one of these. Nice to see a battered example being brought back to life, and unlike others, I even liked the chilled musical score!
I still have mine! Got it 40 years ago at the age of 6. 😁
Is it strange that I find these types of videos relaxing? :)
Nice, I'm 52 and I still have my matchbox collection including this model 😀, I watched this video at 2x speed.
I'm the same age, but most of mine disappeared (even though I still have most of my old toys). 😢
Love seeing these--they were made a bit too early for me to have gotten them from shops, but there used to be a few of these down at playschool and dentist, and some friends had some passed down from older siblings so I played with them a bit. Total nostalgia.
Excellent craftsmanship! Marty and you are slowly converting this Hot Wheels guy to Matchbox.
Liked the way you came up with to re enforce that piston rod. Thank you.
wow, I forgot about this transporter! I can recall having this thing filled with cars & playin with it in the dirt...great memories
This was an excellent restoration. Beautiful job!
I got that when I was 6 and still have it!!! Still in pretty good shape too! The pride of my childhood leftovers.
holy shit.i had 2 of these back when I was a kid...haven't seen these in a very long time..must be at least 30 years.
I had one. It was my favourite of all my Matchbox and Hot Wheels. I have no idea where it is today. I have all my other cars and gave them to my two boys. I need to get into restoring them so maybe they can pass them on to their kids when they grow up.
Absolutely gorgeous. Stunning job! I think I had this as a child. One of my all time fave matchbox toys along with the Matchbox 'Piston Popper' (my favourite ever toy car). Really a tough project and one that brought back happy memories. Thanks Danny! :)
nice to see a restorer take the time to really clean and show attention to every part of the model. Most restorers on youtube only seem to care about what the finished thing looks like from the surfaces you can see, and use a 'that'll do' approach and dont take the time to really treat the entire thing with love and attention. Best of luck with your channel.
Had one. Nice job, nice to see.
Dude! I had that as a kid, I've been wondering what it was called! And I never knew it had a trailer!
Edit: I'm honestly going to find one to buy on ebay because it was my favorite as a little kid, it looked so futuristic. When I saw this and figured out what it was called it made me feel 5 again. Seriously, Thank You.
K-10 has always been my favorite from the SuperKing collection, excellent restore on this!!
Wow.... My childhood !!! First time I see this model on youtube! Thank you for just bringing this on screen ... ;-)
I like the way you present this. Anyone watching can learn something from this. I agree with the criticism but I will say. Anyone putting themselves out on a platform like youtube for the world to judge gets extra points in my book.
I am not a restorer and I am not watching for learned skills to apply to a real world product, I just enjoy someone that can take "trash" and make it a memory like this. It reminds me of my grandpa. People today throw away something like this all the time and not think twice about it. Taking pride in your craft and possession shows you can display the value of a dollar. Thanks for this.
Great restoration Danny . I have this one in loose /mint condition . Found it last year by chance buying a collection . 😎
Excellent job!
I had this one as a kid. Awesome.
Wow i had one of these, lots of memories brought back !
WOW! Talk about back from the dead! You're as skilled as Marty from MMM!
Danny, put in a decal on the trailer; I recommend three D's (one inside the other) For Danny's Diecast Disaster body shop; what do you think?
Trop trop cool !!! j'ai eu ce jouet quand j'étais enfant!! que de souvenir !!
Hello Danny👋
Very detailed video, Great information. Fantastic restoration.
Show room quality right there.
Nice Work ⚘👏
All that wonderful work and you put the UGLY original rims and tires back?! I'm speechless.
You did a great job
kool , neat one...very unusual....Thanx
Robert
lol....the Wife's toothbrush bit , never gets old
Nice restoration, that paperclip trick was spot on!!! Excellent idea you took it to the next level with that trick well done!!!
Had one when I was a kid 👍😊
My dad had the same truck and trailer out of the box but was in mint condition
Always like car haulers ... you did a GREAT repair and redo.
Awesome presentation. End product well worth the intricate process.
Very Nice Restoration! ! ! You do great work!
Excellent Video, I Had Meccano Lesney Dicast Cars From 1950’s , 100’s I Gave them Away
This is some INCREDIBLE work!
Good job I muted the music. I like the details. It look more complex than previous restoration.
Nice Rig!👍
I have one of this matchbox great job
Waouh !!! je l'avais quand j'étais petit, et comme tout les gosses je l'ai cassé, je me souviens que je mettais des pétards dedans pour simuler un accident , l'âge bête
Bravo pour la restauration
I had this when I was 11 years old. What you have done here is inspiring to me. I just subbed you. I'm looking forward to seeing your other videos.
Nice job, I had one of these as a kid, and it had wonky axles from the factory, I used to put my Ford A series tractor unit from the speedboat set, or my American Ford bullnoze from my fuel tanker I had. I still collect diecast, but it is mostly 1/43 scale stuff
At 14:45..." I then use a small tub of water and my wife's toothbrush"........LOL!
It must be an old one... It can't be her current toothbrush.... Right?
i remembered my childhood , i played with this car transporter loading with other matchbox cars.
Wow what a restoration! Looks great!😎👍🏽
We had this - cab & trailer - when me & my brother were kids
WOW ‼️
Very cool.
📻🙂
Great video! And great music!!👍
Still an awesome video.
WOW... quality work my friend
I had one of these. Wow, the memories.
Very good , excellent work , specially this 👍✌️
Great video , I enjoyed how you showed in detail how you fixed the piston.
Thanks , subbed!
Nice job!
i forgot i had this as a kid
Nice, I still have a blue BedFord version at home..
I always wanted one of these as a kid. I love the sci-fi look of the vehicle.
A very nice model that was excellently restored.
Beautiful restoration, great job.
Nice one Danny,,i have one that at home,,,one day maybe i will refresh it to.
Well ✔ 👍
Epic and masterful restoration.
Opinion is very subjective. I quite liked the music. Not too loud or intrusive. Quite relaxing. Maybe a touch lower but i liked it. Nice restoration as well 👍👍
As a 'belt-n-braces' chap I found drill / tapping the horns with m2 works well, glue's always my last resort.
I remember having one of these as a child.
Great job! Found the repair of the piston, to be really clever.
I recently bought a lot and he had one of those in it it was completely meant there was only one ship on the right hand side underneath the cab and that's about it I ended up selling it for $25 plus shipping good score for a lot that I only paid ten bucks for excellent restoration I hope to watch your show more and more good luck
Cool yeah I scored this one in a bulk lot for about $30 including a couple of other restorable Super Kings and some other regular Matchbox.
Uh oh.... There's a new player in the HW/MB resto game!.. Awesome! I used to have one of those! Great job!
I have that exact transporter but in much better condition. Good job.
Good restore
Fantastic restoration, well done.
Very nice!
Hey, I had this one, too. I always loved that futuristic look, well, 70's futuristic, anyway ;-)
Te quedo increíble, hasta a mi hijo le gusto.
Had this. Awesome
OMG!!! I had one of those when I was a kid!!
Fantastic Retro Futuristic Car Transporter , great job 👍. ..... l think l woukd've used some small screws and nuts to fit the hydraulic rams , but it looks fantastic !
Nuts and bolts would work great if you can find some small enough 👍
@@DannysDiecastDisasters Don't know if you have Jaycar Electronics stores in NZ but any of those electronics hobby stores should have fasteners that small.
@@Tiger351 Yes we do have Jaycar I will check them out next time I'm in town.
Marvelous job, Danny!!! The video is enough long to show the whole restoration process. I love the final output.
