Volkswagen 1500 Karmann Ghia No. 239, Corgi custom restoration. Diecast model toy.

Corgi Volkswagen 1500 Karmann Ghia is a model of a popular sports car produced by Meetoy in the years 1963 - 1968. I decided to save the model, which was badly damaged by the previous owner. To display the subtitles in your language in the movie, please press C on the computer or the three dots on the mobile phone in the movie. Volkswagen did not have a roof at all, so rebuilding it was out of the question. I decided to make the Custom version. For this I needed to make a convertible windshield and a folding roof. My cockpit had a hole and I poured a new resin cockpit. Despite very large damage to the body, I renovated it. Additionally, I made a box suitable for a convertible. I was modeled on the original Corgi packaging No. 239. Thank you for watching the movie, I publish videos with the repair of cars on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Absolutely brilliant restoration. I thought you had no chance with that piece of scrap. Thanks for the video.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@dangerousandy]

Paul! You are a genius! I love the way you reversed the colours. That model now looks fantastic and it is also unique. Nicely done

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very nmuch

[@dr.jillalicecooper2587]

Great job as always The amount of work that you put into your restorations is just astonishing. Even the long videos are never boring but very interesting and relaxing to watch. Thank you Paul, have a great weekend.

Ein Karmann Ghia , von dem nicht mehr soviel übrig war. Erstaunliche Restaurierung und Dank der neu angefertigten Teile nun ein Schmuckstück für das Sammlerregal. Tolle Arbeit. Grüße, Joachim Karmann Ghia, z której niewiele zostało. Niesamowita renowacja i dzięki nowo wykonanym częściom teraz klejnot na półce kolekcjonerskiej. Dobra robota. Pozdrowienia, Joachim

Отличное восстановление! Красота! :) Вернули модель к жизни, да ещё и в новом статусе кабриолета! Кстати, покрышки заслуживают отдельного внимания - протектор замечательно получился.

[@PaulRestorer]

Спасибо большое

[@markrigg7038]

Utter amazement that you could save this one, well done mate, great job 👍

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much Mark

[@bobkirby2603]

You have done the same idea as I did a few years ago, got it thought what should I do, make it a convertible, mine isn't as good as yours as my window screen is made out of an old plastic carton cut to size and bent to shape using an electric fire for the heat, the cover I made From good cardboard.I thought it was odd did not think they made convertibles in that car but you proved me to be right in doing it. Jealous of yours it came out better than mine. Well done with it looked really smart. 👍👍🙏🙏

[@PaulRestorer]

If you bend a few more panes, you will surely be satisfied with the effect. You just have to train all the time. But I'm glad that you are doing something in this topic, because nothing is as enjoyable as your own work. Best wishes

[@jimsbooksreadingandstuff]

Wow, that was a very rough Karmann Ghia...great work restoring it.

Czy rzeczywiście jest to wnętrze wykonane z uszkodzonej oryginalnej części? Wygląda absolutnie idealnie 😁👍🏼. Miękki dach jest również świetny. Podsumowując, super robota, mój szacunek 😁👍🏼 Świetny pomysł z "zamianą" kolorów, czerwony na zewnątrz i kremowy w środku. Model wygląda bardzo klasycznie. Dzięki za podzielenie się z nami moim przyjacielem. Życzę Tobie i Twojej rodzinie wspaniałego weekendu i pozostańcie bezpieczni i zdrowi. Trzymaj się dobrej roboty 👍🏼😁 Pozdrowienia z burzliwego wybrzeża Morza Północnego. (Od trzech dni jest tu burzowo🙄). 😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠 Is this really the interior made from the damaged original part? It looks absolutely perfect 😁👍🏼. The soft top is also great. All in all, a super job, my respect 😁👍🏼 Great idea with the "swap" of colours, red outside and cream inside. The model looks very classy. Thanks for sharing, mate. Have a great weekend to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Keep up the good work 👍🏼😁 Greetings from the stormy North Sea shore. (It's been stormy here for three days now🙄). 😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠 Ist das jetzt wirklich das, aus dem beschädigten Originalteil gefertigte, Interieur? Sieht absolut perfekt aus.😁👍🏼 Auch das Verdeck ist großartig. Alles in allem eine super Arbeit, meine Hochachtung 😁👍🏼 Klasse Idee mit dem "Tausch" der Farben, außen rot und innen cremfarben. Das Modell sieht sehr edel aus. Vielen Dank fürs teilen mein Freund. Dir und deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende und bleibt gesund und munter. Mach weiter so 👍🏼😁 Gruß von der stürmischen Nordseeküste. (Seit drei Tagen herrscht hier Sturm🙄) 😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠

Taka moja sugestia dotycząca kierownicy lepiej wyglądała jak była by pomalowana na brązowo lub czarny kolor

gdybym jeszcze raz robił kokpit pominął bym to koło kierownicy i wpasował tam kierownicę na przykład z któregoś traktora matchbox

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much Glyn

[@plentypunyet]

Very good! I think that the paint job is a bit too shiny and thick from the original. This effectively highlights up the imperfections in the castings. Maybe they baked the paint so it went a bit dull.

I have been waiting to see you fix up that one! VW never actually made a production model of the Type 34 Ghia convertible, but they did build prototypes. Surprisingly VW never sold the Type 34 in the US, but they did sell them here in Canada, and some of them have survived. The Type1 based Ghias were much more popular here, though. Great job on restoring your Corgi!
