Hey Jason , awesome work as always. Paint is great 👍. Always good video when you show the real car . Such great work on the plastic. 👍😎👍😎

[@johnkelley9877]

That is a very nice restoration! The clear plastic looks much better and the additional paint work detailing makes the model look so much nicer. Thanks for sharing this.

I wasn't even aware of this one since I live in the U.S., but it seems like a really nice casting! Great video!

[@joeholloway1386]

nice restoration, details and paint job 👍👍

Very nice restoration! Also good technique for removing the yellowing from the windscreen. Best is to repeat the process until the yellow tint is entirely gone. If you don't have a lot of sunlight where you live, it's a good idea to invest in a grow light. Those are UV LED panels that are mainly used in greenhouses. They provide all the UV light you need and in combination with the peroxide, they will remove that yellowing completely overnight.

nice and shiny again. :) nice work on the windscreen. and what can one do against a warped tailgate... still everythign looks great again. ^^ interestingly enough the raised part of the roof has no counterpart in the inside, where the space is still the same height. nobody knows what that bump was good for, then...

[@matthewdavey6064]

Fantastic detailing. Congratulations. 👍

Regarding yellowing of plastics, I'd try the processes that are used for old computer retrobrighting, involving hydrogen peroxide and UV light. If you want to avoid using chemicals, try leaving the yellowed parts on direct sun for several days, preferably in the middle of summer. The results are not that prominent but the change is visible, if you're patient enough. Edit: Oh, just as I finished writing this comment, I realized you did what I suggested :-)

[@jchayes7325]

Always enjoy your restorations my friend yeah I wish I could find that casting here in the States but that ain't going to happen I've always like that car so keep up the good work and we'll see you next time God bless
