[@TheRobertSterling]

Hi Bob. Another great resto, it's good to see your color changes, great eye as usual. The windscreen idea looks as good as new, and inexpensive. A+. Enjoying your new intros, looking forward to seeing what you cook on the BBQ, lol. You and the Mrs take care, see you again soon. Cheers Robert

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Nice job Bob. Looks great. Well done. 😄🛎

[@Skipper.]

Another cracking job there Bob looks better in red too. Don’t knock your BBQ I tried to repair a small wall once, never again.

[@davidreintjens283]

Hi Bob. The red definitely looks better than cream. You did the right thing with the base. Excellent job. You'll have to put a steak on the barbeque.

[@austingreenough6396]

Hi Bob, Love how you have transformed this tired old Austin Healey sports car.Red is the right colour for this.Once again Bob you have done your magic with this car. Thanks for your video.

[@briansdiecastthailandstoth6747]

Great work Bob looks great mate ...happy BBQ

[@johnnythys7428]

Very good restoration Bob. Nice colour change. It was a good and cheap idea to repair front screen with that hard plastic. It came on fine in the end. Isn't It possible to heat that plastic a bit? Anyway The Healey looks 100% 💯👍Hope you have still a few sunny days left for the good life.

[@MatchboxResurrection]

Beautiful work. Love the paint job mate

[@ianhulley1008]

HI bob great restoration looks much better in red we will have to start calling you bob the builder from now on with the barbecue .keep yapping spray cans rule OK. take care mate all the best ian.

[@mysimsreality]

Hallo Bob, the car is a beauty in red and goes well with the cream-colored seats. You definitely have an eye for color and a deft hand with the application! The car was in pretty bad shape prior to rescuing, and as always, hubby and I enjoyed seeing you transform this like it was brand new. Nice, cute barbecue you have - hope you have lots of good cooking and eating from it! You and Mrs. Bob stay safe and well and happy. :)

[@BobWilliscorgi]

Thanks, I wasn’t happy with the BBQ at first so I painted the it with some left over Red fence paint to cover up my crappy pointing skills 😂

[@mysimsreality]

@@BobWilliscorgi Aw lol. Well, once again, you picked the right color. I always think one can never go wrong with a spot of red in the garden just to liven things up! :P

[@crapaudnicksdiecastrenovat1739]

Another beautiful restoration Bob, looks the bees knees in red, much better than the cream, good save with your homemade screen, doesn’t look homemade on the finished car👌👍😊 Take care, all the best, Nick.

[@BobWilliscorgi]

Thanks Nick! You did a bloody good job on the Mini last week mate 👍

[@SoMoDiecast]

Nice restoration Bob and great tip on the CD divider for windscreen material, I have a few I need to recreate.

[@metalguru01]

[@jeffbaker2897]

[@andrewprice9953]

Top job bob

[@RestorationAustralia]

Nicely done good job.

[@peterleid5060]

Bob - just make another screen and now you know that spacer won't bend happily, give it a wee bit of heat and bend it... job done.

[@gravesendaustralia]

Now that you've painted it red it should go faster. Nice sports car Bob.

Looks great in the red Bob, you'd swear it just came straight out of the box! Hope the Mrs is doing ok! Take care

[@TheFokker03]

i have one,repainted british racing green,with wire wheels from a bond aston martin!

[@peterriggall8409]

Nice Cannabis plant between those two camellias in your back yard Bob. 🤣

[@BobWilliscorgi]

Ha’ Ha’ Ha’ 😄 I told my missus it looks like a cannabis plant, thing is it’s not real, it’s an artificial one 👍

[@frasermartin6728]

Your work is superb Bob, but it is not good enough to convert to Dentistry! The Healey looks great!

[@archeryman62]

Great BarBQue Bob, nice colour, did you use the same paint on the car?....another cracking video and great restoration if you make anymore of these vids you'll become an institution in no time.....keep up the great work..

[@peterhoughton1589]

What a great restoration Bob, it looks fantastic in red with cream coloured seats. When you masked the seats did you stick the masking tape on first and then cut the tape around the seats with a Stanley knife blade? Great way of making the windscreen too. All the best. Peter.

[@BobWilliscorgi]

Thanks Peter, yeah I think I did 🤔

[@garrykellogg3215]

17:05 Use 'Clove' Oil on that tooth Bob. Nasty stuff but it will take care of that tooth. You'll need to apply it 3 times for it to become permanent.

[@markfarrelly2441]

Hi Bob - lovely resto on this 'simple' looking one to do. Its alway great to see on your channel the way you give same attention to the easy ones and the super hardcore difficult diecasts like the 'Chitty Chitties' and 'Joe 90s Car' of the Resto World! Your fussy with detail and thats what makes the difference in the end, quality control, and thats what separates the men from the boys:)) Could I ask please the Hycote Red - what one is that its just brilliant - is it a certain type of red as would like to get the same. All the very best to you and yours Sir!

[@BobWilliscorgi]

Hi Mark I’m pretty sure it was Volkswagen Mars Red👍

[@markfarrelly2441]

@@BobWilliscorgi Cheers mate! Much appreciated - your always great with these colour selections and like loads of folk have said on your vids more often than not an improve on the original - who can forget that bloody horrible metallic sprout green Dinky used on the UFO Interceptor and Space 1999 Transporter - they didn't always get it right haha! Best to you and thanks again Sir :)

[@BobWilliscorgi]

@@markfarrelly2441 No worries mate 👍😉

[@paulgell8515]

Hi Bob, love the videos keep up the good work. Please let me know why it is important to polish the metal before painting, wouldn’t the paint key better if it’s not shiny. Regards paul

[@BobWilliscorgi]

I don’t polish anything, all I do is wire wheel or brush it! I admit it looks like it’s polished once you have gone over it with the brush but it’s not in my case. Some modellers do go to the trouble of polishing but I can’t see any point in it 🤔

[@paulgell8515]

@@BobWilliscorgi Thanks for your quick reply Bob, I have a James Bond 261 DB5 ordered from eBay to fix up, I will be watching your videos a few more times before I start. I still need to order some parts for it, but I’m really looking forward to doing it, it will be my first…hopefully not my last!

[@davidroper6794]

Hi Bob yes you were right about the rivets they are getting very hard to get hold of the good ones and is there any corgi you are looking out for to restore if you have one you want to do as i have boxes of different ones i haven't time to get round to doing let me know and if i have it i will send you them.

[@BobWilliscorgi]

Thanks David

[@robross8482]

Nice job Bob, but the 'casting' lines you buffed off the top of the wings, on the real car it's actually a joint between the inner and outer wing and is supposed to be there, but never mind it looks fine.

[@BobWilliscorgi]

Never mind 😄too late now
