So cool !

Nice restoration

Another beautiful build as always Jason keep up the good work have a good one and God Bless my friend

love it xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Wow!!! What an amazing restoration!!! Looks like it just came out of Schuco’s factory. So you simply press down the base onto the post? I can’t believe that’s strong enough for play

Nice restoration, details and paint job 👌 👍

Great job 👍🏻

Niice!

Great result! With that simple dash piece and RHD conversion would be pretty easy. Maybe a candidate for a Restomod to match the mustard one if you can work out how to get the wheels off 🤔

I can never find any Schuco models for reasonable prices 😢

well, the 100 coupe is a beautiful thing. :) the only other fastback coupe from germany was the Granada/Consul one, but they came out in 1972. anyway, love the colour hue, even though the camera doesn't catch it all. :) I have taken apart a good number of them, and repainted them with brush and Humbrol. I think the only way of popping out the hubcaps on purpose is to bend the axle up and press the wheel inwards. but nobody wants bent axles as you'd have to remove them to straighten them, of course. but here is a thought. maybe you can use one of those needle-thin axles herpa used to push in against the hubcap along the original axle? they are sturdy, and thin enough. I never tested it myself, though, either they were there, or already missing. XD

I would like just to leave a suggestion for you. Hope you don’t take it wrong. But what if you paint the inside of the doors mathching the interior? I think that would take your work to another level!

great redo! I'll have to look for schuco never heard of them

Tengo un shuco mercedez c111 lo quiero restaurar

Great work! And I have a few questions: 1. If I have an old car model that has got holes in it(was a police car or a fire dept car, but it has the light bar missing and I want to turn it into a stock car), how do I cover them without using putty? 2. If I have a car model with snapped off opening parts(for example, snapped off boot/trunk lid), is it ok to use filler? I used super glue and it snapped off after four years.

The final product was very nice, but is that actually a restoration? I thought that meant restoring it to "like new" condition. Honest question, I'm new to the hobby and know terms have some leeway from one hobby to another. Thanks!

Would love to see you do one in the proper colours especially since I’ve got one to do myself.

Great restoration, brother.

Great job 👍🏻

They both look great! I would leave the decal since you paid for it and I think it looks fine. Thanks for sharing this.

fab resto xxx

Another great restoration is always there Jason keep up the good work have a good one and God bless

I would have tried to rescue the original stickers bevore removing the colour .🤔🤔🤔🤔

Looks very similar to mine! You did a freaking excellent job!

looking nicely shiny again, both of them. :) funky, I never realized there was an actual tractor hiding underneath the extra parts... shame for them decals. if you have the means do them yourself, I'd say, but leave those two as they are now for future comparison.

Another silk purse Jason, great job.

Nice restorations, details and paint jobs 👌 👍

I have two of those but mine is in silver. One with "TURBO" in black at the sides and the other one is silver only. But both is in pretty bad shape so maybe i should resturate them too? I think the reason why there is a tennis racket in the trunk is because the Swedish tennis player Björn Borg was driving a Saab 900 Turbo just after they introduced them. It is a little subtle tribute to him.

Zee panzer wagon as the germans called it, lovely job cheers 👍

Awesome restoration

In the late seventies/ early eighties, a 900 Turbo was really one of the hottest cars on the road.

As an owner of a black over tan 85 900 turbo, this is awesome! Great work. The car would have also had a stainless strip across the bumpers and belt line.

Where can I get new rivets, decals and wheels from? I've got loads of cars that need sorting. Thanks

Sweet! I bought one identical in the local toy store as a kid in the early 80's.

Looks nice

My only complaint is the putting the new seats on top of the old ones where you can still very clearly see the old seats. That set off my OCD really bad, but I guess it woulda' taken forever getting rid of the originals cleanly. Great job all-around!

Sluk. Restoration. Volkswagen. Golf. Review

Nice resto job. The wheels look perfect for it. The paint would look much smoother and shinier if you gave it a light wet-sand with 2000 and 3000 sandpaper then some mild car polish.

Hej! That tennisraket might be a tribute to Björn Borg, a famous tennis player from Sweden. He was sponsored by SAAB when they launched the 900 Turbo.

Think for scale I would have deleted the tow hook but otherwise think it looks awesome just the way it is matey! Top job! Those wheels really finish it beautifully! 😉👌

Well done! The wheels look great. Good choice

Awesome job!! Those Inca's look stunning, instead of shortening the axles I would probably add some spaces behind the wheels as they now look too far in. I have the silver (and green) version of these and will definately have a go at refurbing one. Cheers😊

Great job and a lovely story, well done man 😊

Very nice resto-mod - loving those Inka wheels! I have a Saab 900 from Majorette exactly like the one you started with! A few fact-corrections, though. The 99 = "Ninety-Nine", not "Nine-Nine". The model-names of the early Saab cars, (92, 93, 94, 95 and 96 ) were a contiuation of the numbering of the aircrafts Saab 90 and 91. (in 1985, the 99 name was replaced by 90, to make it fit better in the range with the 900 and the then new 9000 - also it got the rear-end of the 900 2-door sedan) The biggest reason for the existance of the 900 (being a substantially updated 99 Combi-Coupe´) was to meet new US safety rules, thereby forcing Saab to stretch the nose of the 99. To differentiate the new car, the name was changed to 900, partly because 100 was already taken by Audi and partly because a Saab should always have a modelname starting with the number 9. The original 900 body was replaced by a new, Opel Vectra-based one in 1994, which after the face-lift in 1998 got the name 9-3, to fit better with the then new 9-5 of 1997. Again, the name had to start with a nine, but now the last digit would indicate where in the range the car fitted. Saab was sold in 2010 by GM to Spyker (of all brands...) and finally died in late 2011.

That looks amazing! Only thing I would have done differently is maybe remove the goofy trailer hookup.

Matchbox had some serious mundane-bangers in the 80s/90s . This, the Sierra XR4i, Astra, and even the Cavalier and Calibra in the 90s.. Then you had all the Tahoes, Expeditions, Grand Cherokees, and various pickups from the states. The Matchbox Gold and Matchbox Collectors lines are seriously underrated. I need to get this casting, and would totally be down for a “C*** P*** Partridge” Sterling custom.. I know he has an 800 but it would work!

I had the '83 silver version when I was a kid. Nice work there. One thing I would have wanted to do is paint in the rear quarter windows in the back door, just a vertical black line in the right place on the glass is all that is needed.

hiya, what green light wheels are they?

Great job 👍🏻
