  • This sad little car was bought in a second hand shop in England and then transported to Australia for a makeover.At first I thought it would be an easy one to do , but with its opening doors and boot lid it presented a few more challenges than normal.

    I've got one of these models but it's blue. Marty's dad jokes are the best. Love the strategically placed skull and cross bones, and the guinea pig eating neighbour. Car restoration is awesome too.

    Holy cow. Outstanding intro. I love this model. Doors AND trunk. One of the most animated models they ever produced. The doors were sealed for the Superfast run. Kevin is out of control, Marty. It's time to put your foot down and get him into a 12 step program.

    Your methods work well on full-size cars too. I used your aluminum polish technique on my cars headlamp lenses and it brightened them right up, looking like new.

    Glad to see that you're now marketing the hats and mugs with your MMM logo. I've noticed the mugs in past videos and was quite envious as those are actually my initials. I ordered one of each. Thanks!

    Another great resto job and video. Also, you're quite the dancer.

    Injecting yourself in the final product is pretty slick. Like that.

    Great vid! When I put them back together, I usually place the spring into position, that slides in effortlessly, and after I click the doors back into place one by one.
    Great job here, waiting 4 the next one!

      Never thought of that might try it next time. Actually I was s**ting myself thinking I was going to ruin the paint on the doors!

    Great video. I also liked the primer colour. Would have looked nice in white I think too

    Your introduction was awesome, Marty! Well done! Hey, take it easy on Kevin. He was just experimenting. I think he will have learned his lesson. The car looks good enough to drive--oh, and there you go...driving it away. ha ha Fantastic!

    Amazing - so good to see this antique brought back to life again. I have so many of these old cars like this. Sometime I need to start thinking about restoring them. Your vids are a great inspiration and I am appreciative of your sharing your techniques for mushrooming the axle ends and all the other tips.

    Love the life size walk round and laughed out loud at the look on the Koalas face! Great makeover as ever. Keep up the work and hopefully this can become your full time gig.

      I thought it a bit average myself but each one is a unique challenge and cannot be set aside. Thanks for your supportive comment though!
