Marcos Volvo 1800 GT Corgi No. 324. Renovation. Diecast model toy.

Meetoy in 1966 produced the Marcos 1800 GT model. By 1969, when production ended in 1969, 848,000 units were sold. You can turn on subtitles in your language with the action commentary in the video. The two-seater sports car had an engine from the Volvo 1800. The model had various numbering stuck on it. For the first two years, it was produced in white, and then blue. My copy had broken tires and had been repainted by the previous owner. I have cast the tires in a mold made of molding silicone. Colored polyurethane is an excellent substitute for rubber for making tires. I also did the numbering of this model and decal stripes in the colors dedicated by the manufacturer. To complete the whole, I made a cardboard box with a weight of 250 and printed it in a digital printing house. Thank you for watching the movie, I publish videos with the repair of cars on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Znów doskonała praca, drogi Pawle. Oglądanie Ciebie to zawsze przyjemność. Pomysł z "chromowaniem" najpierw tylnych świateł, a potem malowaniem ich na czerwono jest genialny.
Dziękuję za podzielenie się, a także za wszystkie wskazówki, które często pomagały mi w konwersji.
Miłego weekendu dla ciebie i twojej rodziny i pozostań bezpieczny i zdrowy. Trzymaj się dobrej roboty mój przyjacielu. 😜
Pozdrowienia od zwariowanego na punkcie śmierci staruszka nad Morzem Północnym.

Excellent work again, my dear Paul. It's always a pleasure to watch you working on those models. The idea of "chroming" the tail lights first and then painting them red is brilliant.
Thank you so much for sharing and also for all the tips that have often helped me with my conversions.
Have a great weekend to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Keep up the good work, mate. 😜
Greetings from the die-cast crazy old man at the North Sea shore.

Mal wieder eine exzellente Arbeit, mein lieber Paul. Es ist immer eine Freude dir zuzusehen. Die Idee, die Rücklichter erst zu "verchromen" und dann rot zu lackieren ist brillant.
Vielen Dank fürs teilen und auch für all die Tipps, die mir bei meinen Umbauten oft geholfen haben.
Dir und Deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende und bleibt gesund und munter. Mach weiter so mein Freund. 😜
Gruß vom Die-cast-verrückten alten Mann an der Nordsee.

Paul, one of my favorite cars is the Volvo, specially the Volvo Amazon, but I also really like the P1800 model, but I didn't know there was a GT 1800 model, I'll look into it. Thanks for showing it. You do a fantastic job.

[@chazw1964]

Just done one myself but sprayed it silver to change it up a bit; I did try white but couldn't achieve the lovely shine you have managed. The way the bonnet slightly springs up is annoying, it seems to be a feature of the casting.

[@PaulRestorer]

Of course, you are right . the casting was very inaccurate. it always gets a gloss painting two coats of colorless car paint with a hardener

[@yayasgaragecustomdiecast7198]

Wow! That's a cool one!

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much Yannick

[@davidnery8700]

Hi Paul! How long you leave the Molotow Liquid Chrome to cure? I mean, before you use the Tamiya clear colors over it

[@PaulRestorer]

Chrome hardens 5 days. After this time, I paint it with a colorless varnish

[@user-ql9op5qr5o]

Assim tá bem 👍

[@PaulRestorer]

Cool

[@garagemslzv8465]

Bom vídeo tops

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@dennifram]

Hello friend, the headlights because they do not have paint?

[@PaulRestorer]

That's right, the original was also not painted

[@alcyon1]

Its not Meetoy but Corgi

[@PaulRestorer]

The manufacturing company was called Meetoy, just like the Matchbox company was called Lesney, and the Dinky toys were made by Meccano. Kind regards
