Corgi restoration Caravan Airborne Ford Thames nr 420. Manufacture of glass and blinds.

Great restoration of a rare piece 👍 I could sit and watch you make those new tyres and moulded windows all day. Another brilliant job. Looks superb.

Beautiful Ford Thames Camper van restoration , great job Paul 👏 👍

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much Jerry

[@nordicson2835]

Wow , this was amazing, l never had toys like this and now l appreciate them so much more seeing the skill it takes to bring them back to life.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@chrissharp5073]

You are still full of surprises when it comes to making damaged or missed parts. Who would have thought of using plastics knives for the blinds! Brilliant and a great finish for such a damaged toy. Well done Paul and have a happy, safe and prosperous New Year

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much Chris

[@robleary3353]

Love it!. My dearly departed Dad would restore toys like this He didn't have the means to make the box they came in, but they were still brilliantly done. I have a presentation box (made by him) containing half a dozen restored tanks and armoured vehicles. Watchimg your videos brings a smile. Cheers!.

A beige Thames van was the only transportation for my aunt, uncle, and family when they first moved into a remote rural property in central British Columbia. (British vehicles were surprisingly quite common here in the 50s and 60s!) It was eventually supplanted by more practical farm vehicles, but ran for a good many years. This brings back memories of summers on the farm! 😄

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much for your interesting comment

Vielen Dank Paul

[@f4lloutgaymer]

Fantastic build/restoration. I am very impressed with all the mold making and pouring you do to create replacement parts. And, noticing the production number that Corgi released this "Hippie Camper Van" being 420 made me laugh. I don't know if 420 has the same meaning outside the USA, but over here is is code for Marijuana/Marijuana usage or purchasing. It was/is a law enforcement radio code. But the pot smoking community adopted it and joyfully keeps it. 😄 Many pot smokers in the USA live in, or travel around in, camper vans. 😉 Wonderful restoration. I also enjoy your restorations in which you add a few extra things to make it your own. Like the Ghostbusters car. And adding working headlights to an old car that only had working tail lights. Wonderful. And Subscribed, too. 😊 Be Excellent to each other and Party on. 🤘🎸😎

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much Brian

[@Coolestmovies]

When making the boxes, add about 1/8” bleed all around, in matching colours. Then when you cut, you eliminate the risk of any odd white edges in the final product. This is how they did the boxes back then, and it’s how most printed packaging is still done today! 🙂👍

[@PaulRestorer]

[@frasermartin6728]

The glass was terrible but the van was in pretty good shape overall - at least it had the doors and hinges! I needed to get a door for mine and it took over an hour to fettle it to fit - BEFORE painting! I have seen a few restorations with roof alterations but I kept mine as it was made, only changing interior, wheels and the colour split, apart from a new two-tone colour scheme. Terrific model for its time and the first Corgi to get a non- vacuum formed interior!

thumbs up for not spending a fortune at the redline shop and making the stuff in house this is what most people want to see, a lot of guys get into this hobby because they don't have the cash to rebuild real cars and/or come from countries that they don't have access to expensive repos, and definitely can't afford a resin printer but a plastic knife there on the street corner and even the resin tires after a small outlay you can make all your own matchbox tires, and the windows can be made on the cheap with a few youtube instructional videos you can make it with an old vacuum cleaner and a cheap toaster oven, keep the cheap ideas coming because a set of tires and a Spectro flame paint job can add up to $25 per car
