There is an old saying: " You can't polish the turd " but you have proved that you actually can... I'm speechless... is amazing. I love it. Looks like the original new one

Danny the miracle worker, that was one hell of a restoration, when I saw the paint stripped casting I was convinced you were going to use a load of donor parts from other models, but apart from a set of wheels and the back plastic all repaired and looking like new. Fantastic Job Danny, looks like its just come out of the box after getting home from the shops with it.

Holy shit, we all know that you are a master at what you do but when I seen this one I thought there is no way, absolutely no hope for this casting. But you pulled it off in true style. This build is definitely a home run. Truly amazes me. Excellent, excellent job. Thanks for sharing, take care and stay safe.

I had the 1971 matchbox Alfa Carabo. I found out that when I released the car on the edge of a filled tub, the car always made a full loop while sinking because of the aerodynamic/hydrodynamic shape of it. It was amazing to watch. Good job sir. Well Done 👍

I just... Wow. Danny, I can't even begin to believe you were able to fix this car. I've seen you do some impressive stuff but seeing the state THIS was in, I can't believe you actually went for it, and the results are incredible. that is, admittedly, the most 80's looking car i have ever seen, but it's awesome and i'm blown away every time i see the things you can do. I've learned a lot from you actually, and i've almost got a complete gaslands team built from the things i've learned from watching you. they are nowhere near as good as what you do yet, but your vids gave me the inspiration and confidence to try, so thank you so much man. you are incredible. keep making these videos and showing us how awesome you are

Truly I thought this car was too far gone after seeing its condition when the paint was removed. I'm happy and in awe that you've proved me wrong. Personally have always hated the color scheme MB released this in. Although I prefer a restoration over a customization 9 of 10 times, this time I would have gone for a custom paint job. Nonetheless, you amazed me! Have fun with your videos and your toys!!!
