Lamborghini Countach Restoration '82 LP500 '71 Prototype Italian Supercar Matchbox Superfast

[@RedLP5000S]

The LP500 came out perfect! I don't know what Matchbox was thinking with the prototype. At least you tried. 🇮🇹❤

[@fumblebee4234]

Wow, they both look so smart. Had to watch twice, so interesting. The colours are fab. They'll be a lot of people would love these cars in real life.

[@nathanobrien6875]

Very nicely done. The yellow one is my favorite

[@jamesnixon1875]

Lamborghini Contach, my dream car as a kid. Great custom

[@ConstantinoR-ss9bn]

Excellent resto Danny luv both of them perfect colors for both job well done

[@GobotWars]

Both of them look great, great job as always.

[@blakerh]

Great job on both. I like the red one the most.

[@youngtimeroldtimer72]

Wow ,they are looking great. Very nice. Awesome jobs .

[@skarekr0w3]

You smashed your thumb, sliced your finger, sprayed blood all over your desk, and punched a hole right through a Lamborghini... DIsaster Danny;s Dicast, I'm subbing! This is great!

[@johnkelley9877]

They look incredible! I think you did a great job of turning them back into what the real cars look liked. They look like scale modes with the paint and new wheels. Using the silver weathering powder on the engine made it look very realistic.

[@peggycheek2202]

BEAUTIFUL.... FINALLY someones doing something besides a gaslands,,,,,,,,GREAT JOB!!!!

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Beautiful cars! I’m so happy you did the LP500 in red. When I think of that car, that’s how I see it in my mind - it’s always red 😊👍

[@diecastdungeon8970]

That RED with SADDLE interior was my dream car in my 30's !! Had the poster on my garage wall. As always you have made a HUGE improvement over the original. Yours BOTH turned out the way they should have come from Matcbox originally !! Thank You for sharing.

[@mr.sideburns2031]

I can't help it, I like the yellow prototype, it is kind of cool and turned out real nice.

[@scottdd2]

Oh wow, memories, I have both of these models. Great job.

[@keirdodds6204]

Great job Lamborghini is one of my favourite cars I like what you have done they both look amazing

[@JadeElf]

Great work. both cars look good now

[@TheFokker03]

Very good Danny.the very first prototype was in fact Orange,driven by Bob Wallace with Mr Lamborghini from the factory to the Geneva Motor show of 1971.

[@stegabite2102]

Great work my friend

[@martyclack8782]

Both look sharp nice job Danny

[@knightscream]

They turned out fantastic as usual.

[@bear1245]

Nice cars to work on

[@markl.miller3149]

Another great makeover, I couldn't get how bad the they looked out of my head. They look a 1000 times better now!!!

[@davidneilson3508]

They both turned out really nice 👍👍😊

[@mathewhudson7649]

Good job again...And that was the first time that I've seen a die-cast of the original car. Thanks

[@pezzonovante888]

I remember having the striped one. One of my all time favorites!

[@daverage4729]

Love the look of 'em both. The red LP500 countach was my dream car as a kid. Must say though, while the red 82 looks superb you really brought that 71 prototype to life. As another commenter said, they remind me of the Transformers Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. Lots of nostalgia with these two.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

The Later one looks BEAUTIFUL!!... Ready for the Cannonball Run!!

[@tinfoilhatorchestra5214]

Double the pleasure...double the fun

[@blkpig6664]

Hot damn I had two of these, one left. This was a great design for Matchbox at the time. They also dropped E30 BMW's, 959's and a slew of great rides. Awesome work done here!

[@B0bsUrUncle]

I had a few as well

[@blkpig6664]

So you know how great they are. It was a great time to be a kid ;}

[@joeholloway1386]

Nice builds and paint jobs!

[@LazyCustomProject]

Beautiful cars

[@mykemaze]

Beautiful work as always...

[@Nado324]

They look like Sunstreaker and Sideswipe from Transformers. Well done.

[@daverage4729]

Lol! Was thinking that myself. Sideswipe was the reason I loved this car.

[@michael_nagik]

@@daverage4729 The yellow Lambo just needs the twin air scoops and spoiler to complete the look

[@madmike8v72]

Great work! Huge improvements to both cars.

[@magicninja7303]

Love the choice of colours always a masterpiece in the end

[@xavery7842]

More wonderful renditions. I think I have at least one of both these castings, but I think the Supercar is near mint. I love what you do brother.

[@hugoferriz8191]

Two big likes! 👍👍 Both Lambos just came out beautiful, perfect wheels. Congratulations, Danny, really nice job.

[@carlosdelgado614]

Nicely done my friend

[@christopher-ricks]

I actually have the 82 LP500 on my shelf rightnow. It still has its original paint and in pretty good condition too.

[@alexanderpony4038]

This has got to be my favorite car of all time I just love that design. You have gave these to little cars a new life my friend great work as always

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Nice detailing on the later one...

[@RJDCR]

kool , thanx....nice work , way to save the pair...Rock onnn Danny Robert

[@JS-1983]

Great job 😎 Like very much both of them, but i think yellow one is my favourite

[@westonward735]

Nice job Danny.

[@martindaredare]

Nice work Danny, thay look great together ,

[@paultrigger8492]

Really like these Danny great restorations mate 👍👏👏

[@SuperBadVideos]

I could just imagine the 4 letter work that came out when you went through the hood, I’ve done it a few times thank god for body fillers. Both casting came out beautiful, awesome work, and the glamour shots at the end perfect 👍🏻🔥🤘🏻

[@themole9898]

Absolutely Beautiful!

[@joeygaming2987]

I like the red one and the yellow Lamborghini good Job

[@lotharrenz4621]

great colour choices. :D

[@bladerunner4583]

AWESOME JOB DANNY MATE MUCH MUCH BETTER ☆☆☆☆☆

[@Matt-md5yt]

pretty cool models, the 71 version's pretty cool having that hatch.

[@brissyboy7164]

Awesome work the red one is sick but both are cool now....... Thumbs Up

[@tellege08]

Wow! Great job!

[@barryshackson4005]

Quality jobs, nice one matey 👍👍

[@helmutquad1960]

Hi, I like the yellow prototype of the Lamborghini you did. Never seen that styling by Matchbox before. Very nice that the hood could be opened and nicer than the Hotwheels version with no spoiler on the back. Sometimes less is more beautiful, I think . Greetings and best wishes!

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Nice Aftermarket wheels and tires for both of these...

[@wadehendryx7378]

COOL. I LIKE THE YELLOW. THE RED IS NICE ALSO. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.

[@MatchboxResurrection]

Both very nice but red does it for me. Great cars mate

[@joshsmith4488]

I had the black one with that tampo when I was a kid 😁

[@nathancook1404]

The cars both look nice and ready for a drive out in the Country.

[@DrewsCustomDiecastDrewMSmith]

Two excellent Lamborghinis Danny! They both came out perfect 🍻

[@borisplay3398]

Good job!

[@samlafi1285]

nice work my friend 👌👌

[@OutlawSpeedShop2001]

Nice! I can’t say I’ve seen the prototype one before. I like it!

[@nz540im3]

Wow, I’ve been watching your videos for months now and never ever realised you live in New Zealand, let alone so close to me. I normally watch on my tv through the KZbin app so don’t see video details. I just saw something on Facebook that I thought you might find interesting so searched for you on facebook. Lo and behold you don’t live in Australia as I thought but in the same region. Keep up the videos.

[@hodgeshotwheelsanddiecast5192]

Beautiful customs in both. The older prototype was one of my first customs i did on my channel. The countach was the last great supercar Lamborghini made. All the ones after it were ugly

[@carlosdelgado614]

Nice job

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

The Early one looks SUPER too!...

[@tomflyinghat9122]

Nice job!

[@urideamabal]

They both turned out nice, the red one was a much better casting to begin with. 🏁

[@bentandre5524]

yep, i like them both

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

SOO KOOOOOLLLL. SOO KOOOOOLLLL That was for each car ! Mike Espo .

[@neilcummings9939]

awesome work the countach is one of my dream cars

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

Nice results cheers KC Tasmania Australia

[@anthonybomberry9935]

Good job my friend espeacally the red one

[@derekwhidden9730]

I actually still have BOTH of these. I am a big fan of Lamborghini and the Countach. I absolutly love the original red with the green and black stripes. I think mine might have a yellow windscreen? The black... I could take it or leave it. You are absolutely right about the yellow prototype. In fact there was exactly one, and you have the perfect shade of yellow. As time wore on modifications were made to that car because of overheating problems. I think those louvers on either side were silver, but they were replaced with the larger scoups we are all familiar with. Also the NCAA scoups were added into the doors. The car went into production, the wing (which is completely unnecessary) was added after a couple years "because it looked better". A bumper was added after a couple of years as well, followed shortly after with the air dam and fender flares. The prototype only survived for a couple of years and was destroyed in an insurance crash test. Both of these cars look absolutely stunning, only thing about the yellow one that looks off is that blue glass, but nothing you can do about that. The red one is beautiful as well. The rims aren't that bad, easy to change those out later when you find better.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

I'm impressed that the earlier Countach has an opening hood and well detailed engine....

[@kbergman1979]

Wow! A nice pair of sexy cars there!

[@4Maestro1]

Nice job on these Cawntazhas. ;)

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Neat idea doing both an early and later version on the Countach...

[@tootall5559]

nice work as always. not a big fan of these cars in the for real, but your work is beautiful.

[@DiceZer0]

OOOHH That made my bum CLENCH hard.... that is ALWAYS one of my biggest fears drilling thru the hood or trunk.... Amazing custo/restos!

[@spetsnaz1014]

Tip, trick, life hack. Take a nut (nut and bolt, not a peanut) one that will fit on the drill bit. Drill through one of the sides, tap it and screw a bolt in. Now fasten it to the drill bit at the desired depth you want to drill.

[@RedLineRaceDay]

Fantastic restoration! #SeeYouNextRace

[@birdie399]

Both cars look excellent. Apparently the 80s version was not easy to drive. Thanks for the video.

[@udorechner6846]

Awesome customs both cars looks beautiful. The red car maybe should have wider frontaxels due to the widened wheelarches. They look a bit narrow.

[@chrismayer3919]

Personally, I would have switched the wheels and paint colours, but I digress... SUPER restore job!

[@Marc28031984]

Awesome stuff!

[@uncletatscreativeshack1702]

The red one is the best !!

[@davidbeeson1178]

I believe I have two of each of those, I have had them since I was a kid, I just can't bring myself to drilling them apart. On the other hand you did a awesome job with both of those, the Prototype was one of my favorite cars growing up. It is a little strange seeing it the yellow but it looks awesome my friend. The Countach looks amazing also, well done my friend.

[@cutrockr-diecastracing2773]

Top jobs! Cheers

[@CrazyCat229]

I always preferred the fender flare version. Those wheel arches never looked right without them. ^_^

[@gregorytalber2068]

Superb

[@obizmakeastar6600]

Damn good job 👍

[@azrifadli7900]

Nice both Lambo

[@setwave]

I do enjoy watching your vids. I’m new to this hobby but I’ve been gluing the base back to the cars. What length screws would you recommend using. I want to start doing that.

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

They are about 6 mm long but often i have to grind them a bit shorter

[@ericgaudet4497]

Great job on both Lamborghini countach my favorite model one is the Lp 500 cool paint job on both cars. The red paint is that Candy Apple red ?

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

Just normal red.

[@ericgaudet4497]

@@DannysDiecastDisasters ok that's cool I had a Countach like the red one and the doors lifted up to open so cool.

[@D2SProductions]

Looks great, though it would be nice to see additional details that Matchbox neglected to add on the original car such as the details of the door windows. The LP 500 S is supposed to have 3 separate pieces of glass in the door windows, all separated by black, and triangular piece in the front, and two long, more rectangular for the back 2/3 of the window. A little bit of black pain to fix that.

[@Taznor13]

Great job.. if you could slightly lower them they would look even better
