Vintage Tricycle Restoration. Rescue Mission !

In this video, we undertook the challenging task of restoring a severely rusted Triang brand Tricycle for a friend's daughter as a special birthday surprise. With just one week on our hands, we embarked on a race against time to ensure it was ready in time for the celebration.
Degassing :
Degassing ensures that any moisture or contaminants that could cause outgassing are removed prior to powder coating.
Outgassing is caused by entrapped gases being released during the curing process, which can create pinholes in the coating. This can lead to moisture or corrosive materials penetrating the coating and causing it to fail.
Phosphating :
Phosphating is the process of converting a steel surface to iron phosphate.
Iron Phosphate provides increased adhesion for the powder coating. It increases corrosion resistance by providing a secondary protective layer. Phosphate conversion adds to the lifetime of the treated part.
Powder Coating :
Powder coating is a dry coating process used as a metal finish mostly on industrial equipment. It is applied as dry powder through an electrostatic process, then cured with heat. It is well known for providing high-quality finishes in terms of both durability and overall look.

From California: amazing…your daughter took the whole trike apart. What a great experience for her👌

Cool video good to see your kids are involved and I get to play with what they fix

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks Richard. Appreciate you checking out the video. We do things a little bit differently to other channels. Am trying to teach the kids while learning new things myself. Most importantly, like you said, they get to play with a lot of stuff we restored 😉👍

[@westhighlandsshop]

Awesome job! Your helpers did a wonderful job and their color selection was perfect. Enjoyed the process and your video editing!

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks, mate. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I have no decision-making when it comes to paint colours 🤣👍

[@miguelbravo5850]

Hi where can I get those rubber tires

[@LittleRestorers]

I use a Neoprene rubber cord which I source locally in Australia.

Nice to see you teaching your kids some practical skills. Restoration is a passion that needs to survive and this is the best way to make it happen

[@LittleRestorers]

Thank you my friend. Hopefully, through little restoration projects, we are creating valuable family bonds 👍

You have the monopoly on rusty tricycles , but let's face it they are in the best hands , your finished products are super wow awesome !! Love how your videos differ from each other and we DONT get boring repetition like some of the youtubers !

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks mate. I really appreciate you watching all my videos and still not getting bored. 😁👍

[@KevinD_33x150]

Well done! 👍🏼👍🏼 With a tight deadline, too! Good to see your apprentice doing well. She's definitely her dad's daughter!

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks mate 👍 Yeah think the eldest is almost ready to take over. She's already telling me how I should be doing things 😉🤣

It's great to start them young learning how to use tools. She's going to go far!

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks mate. Hopefully they are learning skills they could use later in life 😉👍

Just awesome.. love the paint... You are building a rather nice fleet of peddle vehicles. Outstanding work as always! Good Stuff Sir!

[@LittleRestorers]

Thank you for checking out the video. Yes, the kids can not have too many of them toys 🤣👍

[@ScoutCrafter]

Nicely done! Sanding JB Weld is much harder than it looks! 😃👍

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks mate. You absolutely correct. 3 seconds of video, 3 hours in real life 🤣

[@shedmanx3640]

The best restoration yet mate. Fantastic seeing the helpers/hinders working with you. Your training is paying off. The brazing is a new skill I can’t remember seeing before. Although you really need that lathe buddy. Bushings are so easy to recreate. Too bad we don’t live closer.

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks mate. You right, I need to work on a different strategy to get that lathe. Not gonna afford one in my lifetime if I rely on yt views 🤣👍

PRECIOSO ¡¡¡

[@LittleRestorers]

Thank you 👍

[@charlesK001]

OMG so much adhesive on those rims....feel sorry for the next person that restores it in 50 years....good job.

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks for watching. The old rubbers have a groove that sits inside the rims.They also have a steel wire inside. The neo cord is round, so most of the adhesive is actually filling the space between the rim and the rubber. 😉

[@Austeration]

Well done, what are the girls like at rebuilding lawnmowers ? Good to see all that training paying off. Soon they will have their own channel. Nice job on the three wheeler 👍👍👍

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks mate. Fixing the lawn mower is too easy. Just plug the battery to the charger 😁. One kid likes to be the actress, and the other one is a movie director. The video editor needs a payrise 🤣🤣🤣

[@Austeration]

@@LittleRestorers sounds like your going to have your hands full for many more year still lol

[@waynemurray7862]

Another great restoration and video 👍, did you ever find out what brand the trike was?

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks Wayne. This one your comment came under is a Triang. Regarding the red one I just did , am gonna say Cyclops. " May be one day someone might correct me" 😂👍
