G'Day Viewers! This week I restore a well loved but complete early Corgi 406 Land Rover, complete with self designed carton and brief history of the casting, I hope you like it!
Thanks for dropping by! I try to have a new video every second Friday at 9:15am ESPBT and I’d love to see you back again! I can’t always promise gold standard restorations, but I’ll always promise to try and make it interesting!

Nice to know the history behind these cars. That turned out really well in the end. Even though the wind screen gave you a struggle.

Thank You Gerry, Thought I'd wrecked the screen for a moment there.

Thank You Dave! You see, it's tips like this I need because I'm too simple to think of them myself, to make things worse I've actually GOT a rubber mallet and didn't think to use it 😔You must have cringed seeing me use the hammer 😂 That tip has come too late for the Renault Floride I'm working on, wait till you see what I resorted to to get those wheels back on 😳

From one Peter to another I love your videos. The paint work on this car seemed to be exceptionally good. I did miss the talking though. Have a merry Christmas.

@PBsRetroRestorations 8 ай бұрын

Thank you Peter! The stream of consciousness style dribble / waffle will return, I wasn't sure if my talking put people off but it seems I was wrong. Except for the Tarzan screaming, that wasn't real popular 🤣 The shine on the paint really was better than usual, I wish I could nail down what causes the difference, sometimes it seems to be the colour, the humidity and sometimes nothing at all 🤷‍♂️ A Merry Christmas to you and yours also, hope you get some time for yourself and family.

@PBsRetroRestorations Ай бұрын

I reckon these Landys saw more sandpit work than most so I'm not surprised. I've got an RAF one with the tinplate canopy from my Uncle Phil's collection that's a bit that way, but I don't want to restore it.

@frasermartin6728 7 ай бұрын

I don't know about you, but when you were straightening that front bumper, my buttocks were clenched! Great result and the captions on action and materials are really handy: nice one! Interestingly, the original Land Rover on which the 406 was based, was probably a 107", as seen on the doors and doortops, from the Series1: it morphed into a Series 2 later with a smoothing out of the door detail, but never got the original 5" sills, instead going straight to 2a sills, at 3". I'll just get my anorak...

@PBsRetroRestorations 7 ай бұрын

Man, it was like I know this is going to break, I know what I should be doing, and yet I still keep going and break it anyway >sigh< And thanks for the Landy info, that really is some hardcore detail noticing 🤣 But you know what? accuracy is accuracy and if you're going to bother at all, bother to get it right. Of course I don't follow this advice myself, but am happy to dispense it to others.

Thank you very much Mark. Man, I really did question if the Tarzan bit was a good idea. I did it a couple of times, and it sounded stupid on both occasions, which seemed to fit so I left it in 🤣 BONUS TRIVIA: I had to reduce the volume mix on the scream or you would've REALLY hated it. No more screams, I promise 😊
