Ouch, I remember these old beasties on the streets of London, mixed in with the newer types that were becoming the norm, creaky and quite worn out by the 70's but still workable until the FX4 (Cockney Cab II) became the only cabs available. Quite funny is Dr Who's Daleks used the roof indicators off of these taxis, the BBC were masters of cheap tat as props.

Turned out beautiful. For soldering, just be sure that both parts you want to solder together are hot enough, and remember that solder will flow in the direction of the heat source. If you hold the iron at the top of a crack and feed the solder in at the bottom, it’ll actually run upwards towards the source. Be sure your iron’s tinned when you head in (helps transfer heat into the part) and that’s all there is to it

Another great video. Glad to see you've added a new tool. Just a word of caution. Always wear rubber gloves when working with a fiberglass brush, make sure there's water involved. Some running water or with a container of water near by to keep things wet. Cause you don't want to inhale any of the fibers. Fiberglass splinters are near impossible to remove, have used this on and off for 38years.

Mazak rot or zinc pest occurs from impurities in the alloy causing crystalline corrosion. It's more common in but not exclusive to high humidity situations. Modern railway models still sometimes suffer from chassis rot, which is a pain in a £100-200 locomotive.

Looks like the soldering process is dialed in. Nice work. I was just over at Outlaw Speed Shop and Diecast Resurrection. I would love to see you guys do a build off with '66 Batmobiles, but in the 1:50 scale. That way you all can ramp up the small details that you guys are so good at. Failing that, if you restore one of the Corgi 267 models (black tires/chain cutter/missile launcher/flickering flame) I can only imagine how awesome that would look. Thanks for your videos! Great toys, ...er, I mean tools.

So... copper plating the die cast parts is the secret! Sweet job! My two cents - at 5:57, there was not enough flux on the parts. Whenever solder does not want to flow, more flux is usually the solution. Keep up the good work! Great channel!

Nice job. Looks good. Little soldering tip is to use flux cored solder and try not get things too hot. I noticed the solder going a bit blobby due to excess heat. It may be tricky but try get the whole area to an even temperature and then flow the solder in. Look forward to the next resto.

Great work! I don't use this method for repairs only because time is limited. I would love to try it at some point. As for now I find the super glue baking soda technic pretty good. For me it works and my projects turn out good enough. My biggest and most frustrating part doing any redline era cast is drilling for screws. Never seem to get it right and end up going off center of the rivet.
