A tricky refurbishment my friend, but you did it so well. Excellent! #93

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@robpierce4712]

This one was very nostalgic for me! One of the first Matchbox cars I received nearly 50 years ago! Excellent restore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much

Beautiful finish on the paint work.

Thank you very much

[@miyagi_draws]

Beautiful work! I had that car as a kid and this restoration made my day. Box is a nice touch. I remember getting those in the box and putting it up to my ear and shake the box to hear the car roll inside. Great memories, thanks!

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Absolutely beautiful. I also like to refurbish the wheels instead of replacing them, for originality. Wonderful job, as always.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@dennman8832]

Great paint job matching. Your roof straightening and filler work skill show results in the final paint work. By far the best restorer out there.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

What equipment and tools I should get or need, how to get spare parts, decals, and transfers etc? Thank you. Phillip.

Dzień dobry, mój drogi Paul. Nigdy nie wiedziałem, że SAAB zbudował tak rasowy mały samochód. W każdym razie, twoja odbudowa jest absolutnie cudowna. Zwłaszcza technika reprodukcji farb metalicznych z lat 60. i 70. jest świetna. 👍🏼👍🏼🏼. Oglądałem ten film razem z moją żoną i ona też jest całkowicie entuzjastyczna. 😁👍🏼
Dziękuję za podzielenie się, miły weekend dla Ciebie i Twojej rodziny oraz pozdrowienia z Cuxhaven nad Morzem Północnym. 👍🏼😁🇵🇱👋🏼🇩🇪
Good morning, my dear Paul. I never knew SAAB had ever built such a racy little car. Anyway, your restoration is absolutely marvelous. Especially the technique to reproduce the metallic paint of the 60s and 70s is great.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. I watched the video together with my wife and she is also completely enthusiastic. 😁👍🏼
Thanks for sharing, a nice weekend to you and your family and greetings from Cuxhaven on the North Sea. 👍🏼😁🇵🇱👋🏼🇩🇪
Guten Morgen mein lieber Paul. Ich habe gar nicht gewusst, daß SAAB jemals einen solch schnittigen Flitzer gebaut hat. Deine Restaurierung ist jedenfalls Mal wieder absolut Spitze. Vor allem die Technik den Metalliclack der 60er und 70er Jahre zu reproduzieren ist großartig.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Ich habe mir das Video zusammen mit meiner Frau angesehen und auch sie ist restlos begeistert. 😁👍🏼
Vielen Dank für's teilen, dir und deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende und Grüße aus Cuxhaven an der Nordsee. 👍🏼😁🇵🇱👋🏼🇩🇪

[@PaulRestorer]

Vielen Dank Paul. Besondere Grüße an Ihren Ehefrau. Frauen, die Modellerneuerungen beobachten, machen nur 9% aus. Beste Wünsche

Really nice!! I do more 1/64 customizing than restoring, and I bought some beat-up older cars to "restomod" (Hot Wheels Peeping Bomb and Matchbox Lamborghini Marzal, among others). You use several techniques I haven't seen the custom folks use, so thanks for the walk-through! Greetings from Indianapolis, US~

in Poland, M2 taps and M25 millimeter screws are available without a problem I don't know which country you come from, but it's best to search in technical and tool stores. Best wishes
