Matchbox Restoration:

[@unciclistaenbuenosaires8287]

I would love to see the failed proyect. From that people can learn too

[@Outlier68]

Lovely. I owned a slightly later model with the 1500 engine. And my Sister owned an Austin 1800 which was the big brother of these. I love these cars so much. Thank you.

[@bigmikeh5827]

I remember as a kid(circa1970) there was a store that had hundreds of these in their toy Dept in the box. Were cheap but as a kid I was impressed with the dog! Lol. Thank for the memories

[@johnkelley9877]

It looks great! I am just glad to see another restoration from you. Thanks for sharing this neat tutorial.

[@Georgeolddrones]

Lovely little car i pass my driving test in 1972 in one. Excellent job thanks .George in England uk 👍

[@t-murdock]

Missed you man! I’m glad you’re back!

[@twotoesshort1696]

Really liked this one. Also appreciate the tip of polishing the wheels. I've been polishing the bases, grills and bumpers as I'm not a fan of painting them silver but hadn't thought to polish the wheels. Nicely done. Thanks for sharing your hobby.

[@tombarker3608]

Another rescued car. Thanks for your work. The silver metallic looked pretty good as well. Could do that as a second.

[@B_Skizzle]

He's back, folks! I’ve been binge watching your older videos waiting for a new one.

[@DrWhom]

The interior calls out for a detailed paint job...

[@Dracologist]

hire someone who does Warhammer figures

[@lancerevell5979]

First time I've seen a driver and a dog in a tiny diecast car. Bravo to Lesney! Nice restoration.

[@f12mnb]

Great video! Beautiful result. Also appreciate how you tell about the fiddly and tedious parts!

[@wereedbooks]

I love the lil pup in the back seat! Cool restoration.

[@markkenyon4855]

The paint is brilliant. As usual the best available video on hotwheels on KZbin. Thanks for your great work

[@miketeeveedub5779]

Wasn't sure I liked your choice of color until the final finished shot. Outstanding! The candy-lemon color brings out all the tones and curves of the body that the previous white paint hid. Wouldn't change a thing!

[@amd6570]

Turned out perfect!!! I have a couple of these in need of restoration. Just need a airbrush now. These simple videos are what keeps me going with restoring my own cars 🍻

[@raverboyloki]

Great restoration and awesome color choice for the finished product! Another great restoration!

[@easyontheeyes78]

Such a cute little wee car. I 💕 it!!!

[@GiotheGhreat]

Your work on the windshields are amazing! nice job!

[@JD-te9tj]

So many comments say u should do this and that.I love what you did to that MG. It turned out fantastic.I love that resto.Keep rockin.U R THE MAN

[@dragbusdave]

I like that the grill and headlamps were cast with the base and man they look great in front of that shiny new paint

[@EcoDARK1855]

I missed you a lot, I love your voice, very relaxing. Awesome restoration

[@UnprofessionalFlip]

It looks great. I love the yellow color you have. I am biased though. Yellow is my favorite color. I think painting up the interior of this car would be a fun challenge. Especially the little dog in the back.

[@MatchboxGarage]

Wow, gorgeous finish mate 😎👍🏼💪🏼

[@robgsouth2293]

Welcome back! Very nice restoration. Slick tip on polishing the wheels. Thank you.

[@BRK-B-all-the-way]

Awesome job! This is one hobby I would like to pick up when I retire.

[@MadMathMike]

Fantastic job on this restoration! Looks great! Thanks for posting! 🙂

[@mavos1211]

Great to see you back! Loved this restoration I didn’t think the colour would work but seeing it finished it looks great!

[@kjamison5951]

I like the way it has turned out. That’s a particularly nice hue! Great job!

[@josephbobbitt7759]

Looks great! Love the yellow paintjob!

[@raydoyonful]

Awesome job! Thats a beautiful color.

[@_texan306]

What a beautiful model, and an even more beautiful restoration.

[@samuelpierce2.088]

I really like the yellow paint job. It gives the car an almost Vegas gold-like appearance to it. :)

[@MCDJACDC]

Great work! Awesome color choice

[@jamessturrock6802]

Very nice restore/custom, I will agree with some of the other commenters that a video showing the fail would be highly instructive. A bloopers video of sorts. Give it a thought, I'm sure your followers would like to see what can lead to fails as much as the success you have. Great video, look forward to the next. Thank you!

[@seeenrulez3450]

Awesome as always. Love the color!

[@williamaviles2647]

This came out really good. Glass and tires look New.

[@CarlJones14]

Great job, very impressed with the quality of the plastic glass, 50 plus years old.👍

[@canuckyank82]

Great work! Boyhood days all over again!

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

An excellent looking restoration!!.. I'll be anxious to see what you do with other one of these you have..

[@NitrousDiecast]

I think it looks great. I would be very happy to watch a video like this every week, or even every couple of days, as I really enjoy your work. Have a good weekend.

[@horaciodiecast]

Great job. It looks wonderfully new. 👍👍👍

[@tristanmahler4471]

Welcome back, love the taxi style finished looked!

[@laxr5rs]

When I saw the final car right side up finished the first time I was taken aback a little. Like, "whoa, that looks great." Fun video. Thanks.

[@jesseasher7520]

The paint turned out real nice on this one! Looks great! :)

[@notold37]

The yellow looks awesome, very nice finish 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘

[@PhantomDragonEternal]

That custom restoration was a breath of fresh air after seeing so many bad restorations lately. The big name customizers have been taking long breaks (hint, hint...) so I've been forced to settle for mediocrity. This one was simple, yet the result was above and beyond. Keep up the great work!

[@andyc3856]

One of my favourite castings. Love the colour. Two tone paint works well on this one too.

[@davidmetcalf951]

Yes the real MG 1100 often had two tone paint jobs

[@turbolivesinmyheart6328]

That paint job came out very nice for not having clear coat on it. Nice not to have to take off the tires and wheels.

[@sparky694]

Beautiful restoration, looks showroom fresh

[@Jsellers1965]

Dang Bo! you got that windshield looking GOOOOD!

[@pauljackson8354]

My Parents had a real Morris 1100 and I had an MG 1100 like yours which is one of my favourite Matchbox models.

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Glad to see you back , cool work as always. Mike Espo .

[@SmurfPerfect]

Missed your videos, and so pleased to see this pop up!

[@newcomerjason7791]

Love the color. It's very fitting!!!

[@randynovick7972]

Looks great! Love the color.

[@dannylalumiere6538]

Finally the best customiser is back!! Can't wait to see the results of your 18 mustangs project. Great video as always, cheers from Montreal!

[@72polara]

I like the color on that body style. Looks good!

[@racnc1]

Any videos from you long or shorts fine with me. Always amazed by your restoration projects and thanks for all tips and knowledge.

[@bryansleva2789]

Turned out really nice! Well done.

[@nicholaslittle2312]

Beautiful job. I love the colour!

[@HOTA_CHATON]

Many more videos please. We have been missing them so much. I agree with Un, show us the failed project that melted too. Nothing wrong with that.

[@PlowBenderStudios]

Didn't get a Marty's Matchbox Makeover for Saturday so I guess a Zac's Matchbox Makeover will have to suffice. Quite enjoyed this restoration/custom and really have to admire the fine details Lesney put into this casting right down to the number plates. For some reason the overall look of this car reminds me of Mr. Bean's Mini, minus the black hood.

[@jg24diecast41]

Looks awesome! Since you did custom paint would love to see the driver and doggie detailed, too!

[@fynbo1007]

Very beautiful restoration, thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family.

[@weaponXwing]

....beautiful work meng thankx for sharing...

[@cvr4FT]

I understand that they took some time but the windows look fantastic. Great work yet again.

[@andrewturnbull5897]

A really lovely little project! All diecasts should be done with Spectra flame! Just beautiful!

[@interzoneboy]

Very nice and warm color! I like that you go far beyond. Really, obsession only in Red Green Blue colors are kind of limited.

[@Tboy-y6q]

Always enjoy your vids mate.

[@davidbeeson1178]

Is it good to see a video from you sir, you are the first person that I started watching that restored diecast. This one turned out beautiful, you are awesome at what you do.

[@daddajen76]

Great work and the restoration love matchbox

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Wow that turned out so nice!

[@cody_d3628]

Nice restoration it looks 100% better😊

[@timburnette5914]

Great job. I restored one just like that but I painted it blue.

[@davidarnold2778]

Love this restoration...the colour really suits it 😍

[@stom5292]

Supreme result, one of your best in my opinion.

[@ZodZulu]

That color looks great!

[@Thunder_Gunnar]

Nice to have you back! Good job as always. 👍

[@joeholloway1386]

Nice restoration and paint!

[@n2awa]

The new color looks great. It also came in metallic blue w/ Superfast wheels. Your yellow seems like a close cousin of that metallic blue.

[@themichaelvortex4784]

Hard not to be a HotWheels fan and a Matchbox fan, at least, a little. Nice work bHW! Thank you.👍🏼🤘🏼😎

[@mortenhenningsen940]

Turned out great. Nice to see å restoration that is not to advanced. Good collour choose

[@gazza2933]

Very good job! Well done. The MG 1100 was of course the sports version of the Austin 1100 and as with all MGs had got quite a bit of 'poke' to it.

[@jp2246]

Love the color, very nice results!

[@davidneilson3508]

Awesome restoration, it turned out perfect 👍👍😊

[@adrianaustralia9135]

Fantastic job! Very inspiring. I like to think that colour would have been right at home on the superfast version.

[@jamesgoddin8880]

Beautiful job. I learned to drive in one of those.

[@SweeneyDunston]

Hey hey old friend! Welcome back. Happy new decade!

[@barryshackson4005]

Lovely job, great colour 👍👍

[@zamoragera13]

Awesome job as always. 👍👍👍👍

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Looks great!

[@cradleofphill]

Your videos are always brilliant,

[@SmurfPerfect]

Gorgeous. Would love to have seen this one in brown. Some detailing of the headlights and taillights might be nice to experiment with too.

[@matchboxmark8191]

Missed you my friend! Great job! The window unit is perfect!

[@TheLoxxxton]

Very nice paint. Of course now we need a video of what melted and why it melted. 😀

[@abbush2921]

Close to its original lustre . That's a understatement .

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Awesome restoration !!!!!!!!!!!

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Nice looking paint job!! I wouldn't touch it either!

[@grahamparr4710]

Excellent colour really suits it.
