Cheers Jeff, yes I hope to have a few more birthdays yet got lots to restor 😀👍

[@frasermartin6728]

I remember driving those things - they were comfortable and light to steer, but they never really liked a corner, despite the front wheel drive. Great dashboard though, with the wood and classic Triumph combined-cluster warning lights. Quite a classy little car in the real world. The Toledos and Dollies were rear wheel drive, and the Dolly Sprint was a SAAB engine on its side! You have certainly done that Dinky model justice, Martin, with sensitive restoration decisions and some terrific detailing as usual - an object lesson! I got some sanding sticks from GreenStuffWorld at 800, 1200 and 2000: they are really good, and I did my trusty 1:1 Honda Jazz lights with them too! Happy Birthday: at 66, you are still a boy!

[@martindaredare]

Thanks fraser, I never did get to drive one myself but been a passenger a few times ,very comfortable.

Wish I'd known about sanding sticks a couple of years ago, when I was restoring a Dinky caravan with a LOT of crap on the windows. Got it clean... my left thumb has yet to forgive me. 😂😂 Masterwork, as always! 👏👏👏👏🤌 And A Happy Early Natal Day to you! 🥳🎂🍾

Thanks Ralph for checking luke out iam sure he appreciated it ,yes nice finish

[@johnclarke25]

Great vid again and happy birthday for the other day,hope you had a great day,when I went in hospital a few weeks ago for a triple by pass I tried to cadge some of the clamps but the nurses wouldn't give me any,still came away with sticky tape,tweezers and syringes and pill cups😂

[@martindaredare]

Thanks John, I hope your recovery is coming along , it's best to ask for the clamps after the opp mate 🤣🤣🤣 wishing you good luck in your recovery all the best Martin 👍

[@kevsdiecastrestos]

Long video? I could watch you for hours, I always learn something. When you opened the lid of that ultrasonic cleaner it sounded like you were frying chips, look forward to your next one.

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Kev, yes it's a bit noisy it's the basket vibration, works well though. All the best Martin

[@steaminglion4067]

Happy Birthday Martin nice restoration as always . My Mrs didn't have nail board's so I improvised and used valve grinding paste on a piece of denim . I'm not saying it's better but gets the job done 👍

[@martindaredare]

Thanks, that sounds like an interesting method I put that in memory box all the best Martin

[@lotharrenz4621]

looks nice and shiny again. :) back in my days I often would lift the mushroom's rim with a sharpened screwdriver, and parked it in my finger once or twice... but then there is something to re-flatten again with an old rounded cross-screw driver head. worked out most times. :) with some castings one has to drill them out completely, especially Siku's Porsche 914. took me three tries to find out the rear lid was just too thin, and would warp when you pull on it. anyway, the windscreen reminded me of a car I found at the flea market, it had been painted over with silver paint, and someone washed that off with thinner, and roughened up the window insert's surface. maybe someone had used thinner to rub off some marker painting on the bonnet? the fumes might have gotten to the windscreen. either way, great work on that. :)

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Lothar, the joys of restorations you never know what your going to come up against and then sit and work out how best to solve it ,love it . All the best Martin 👍

[@peterhoughton1589]

Another incredible restoration Martin, one of your best I think. I prefer these longer videos when you show more of your work, particularly how you restored the window unit. I passed my driving test in 1975 in my dad's dark brown Triumph 1500, it was a lovely car to drive, and had a wooden dashboard. Sadly it's another British car manufacturer that we've lost. Happy 66th birthday, you're officially now an OAP, you'll be able to claim the state pension? 😂 Looking forward to next week's video, take care and all the best. Peter.

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Peter I remember that colour 😀, nice cars . Thanks for the birthday wishes it's really appreciated my friend 👍

[@geoffmower8729]

Hi Martin nice job I love that colour it looks a bit like the MG colour IRIS blue. That window polishing was impressive it turned out like new well done. So 66 wow you old bugger,👴🏻 your three years older than I am. 👴🏻HAPPY BIRTHDAY mate🎂 I hope the MRS took you out somewhere special to celebrate.🍺🍺 My sister gave me a birthday card this year on the front it said... As we get more and more older the more and more we get confused. I then tried to open the card but I couldn't the card opened the other way around from right to left, then the words were written upside-down and I had to turn it up the other way.😂😂🤣🤣 Catch you on the next one mate.👍🏻

[@martindaredare]

🤣🤣 Nice card ,no I had a relaxed birthday this year ,just chilling 😎 It is a nice blue ,and suits the car . Yeah so iam older and not so wise so behave yourself All the best to you both

[@bobkirby2603]

Hello from the past, How you doing Martin and Mrs D hope both well. Well done you still have it the Master. Your Triumph 1300 came up perfect as always. Sorry don't get much time nowadays, but hey full time carer for the wife. Love the diarama at the end brilliant. You take care will catch you when I can. Cheers Rob

[@martindaredare]

Hi Rob great to hear from you my friend I know that feeling iam lso a full time career for my wife ,I don't sleep much or get out much ither . Take of yourself my friend all the best Martin 7

[@jesterger]

Nicely done, Martin. That looks really sharp. Those nail boards are great for sanding windscreens. Better than holding a little piece of sandpaper.

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Gerry yes definitely less mess .my friend

[@gregorymoy7165]

Marvelous 100% well done Martin,.... good call on the windscreen looks like a new one,... all up a great resto.... Many happy returns on your Birthday your beating me by 1 year 🤣Diaramas are the way to go Martin,... whens the Kombi coming to the work bemch? ..... Thanks again for the video

[@martindaredare]

Cheers again Gregory glad you liked it ,not sure when the kombi is arriving at the bench .

[@ianhow100]

Nice one Martin. Didnt know anyone did this. Very much a smaller version of the Dinky Triumph 2000. Same working parts & screen thickness. On the wipers, many don't have them, so losing them wouldn't be a major disaster, but good to preserve them when they are. Also good how you were able to tighten up the bonnet hinge

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Ian ,yes definitely one of the thicker screens, I dodged a bullet on the bonnet hibge didn't I, all the best Martin 👍
