Ford Transit diecast model 1986 renovation. Conversion, bluetooth control.

The Corgi company produced the Transit model in the late 1980s. Production then mainly took place in China. The model had a plastic chassis and did not stand out from other diecast models. My car's rear wheels were changed and the entire body was heavily damaged. I decided to create a project and show this model as a Ford Racing service car in the colors of the Gulf concern. To make this model interesting to many people, I added a chassis that included an electric drive and was Bluetooth-controlled. To adapt this chassis, I had to extend it slightly and add elements typical of the Ford Transit. I also made a box according to my own design. Thank you for watching the video, I publish car repair videos on Tuesdays and Saturdays. You can turn on subtitles in your language with commentary on the activity - press the letter C on your keyboard or three dots on your mobile phone.

Teraz zaczyna się era elektroniki w mini motoryzacji na kanale Restorera. Poziom stale wzrasta.

Po raz kolejny "5 minut przed świętami" 🎄 🤣 Czas na jeden z legendarnych "Paul Special" 🤩
Sam model był jeszcze w stosunkowo dobrym stanie, więc był czas na "technologię, która inspiruje".
Przeróbka znów bardzo czasochłonna, ale było warto 👍🏼
Transit wygląda świetnie, a pilot.... po prostu WOW 🤩
(Specjalna atrakcja: działające reflektory, dźwięk silnika i klakson 🤣)
Paul, to arcydzieło, jestem zachwycony. Zdecydowanie oba kciuki w górę 👍🏼 👍🏼
Wielkie dzięki za udostępnienie 🙏🏼
Miłego weekendu dla Ciebie i Twojej rodziny, bądźcie cali i zdrowi. Kontynuuj dobrą robotę, przyjacielu 😉
Pozdrowienia od zwariowanego na punkcie odlewów Paula z Morza Północnego.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Once again, it's "5 minutes before Christmas" 🎄 🤣 Time for one of the legendary "Paul Specials" 🤩
The model itself was still in relatively good condition, so there was time for "technology that inspires".
The conversion is again very time-consuming, but it was worth it 👍🏼
The Transit looks great and the remote control... just WOW 🤩
(Special highlight: the working headlights, the engine sound and the horn 🤣)
Paul, this is a masterpiece, I'm thrilled. Definitely both thumbs up for it 👍🏼 👍🏼
Many a thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
Have a great weekend to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Keep up the good work, mate 😉
Greetings from die-cast-crazy Paul on the North Sea shore.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Es ist mal wieder "5 Minuten vor Weihnachten " 🎄 🤣 Zeit für einen der legendären "Paul Special" 🤩
Das Modell selbst war noch in einem, relativ, guten Zustand, so blieb Zeit für "Technik die begeistert".
Der Umbau ist wieder sehr aufwendig, aber es hat sich gelohnt 👍🏼
Der Transit sieht großartig aus und die Fernsteuerung... einfach nur WOW 🤩
(Besonderes Highlight: die funktionierenden Scheinwerfer, der Motorsound und die Hupe 🤣)
Paul, das ist ein Meisterwerk, ich bin begeistert. Ganz klar beide Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼 👍🏼
Vielen Dank fürs teilen 🙏🏼
Dir und Deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende und bleibt gesund und munter. Mach weiter so, mein Freund 😉
Gruß vom Die-cast-verrückten Paul an der Nordsee.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠

[@szymonchudzinski6245]

Tutaj użyto modułu bluetooth z kolekcji shell. Prawdopodobnie z BMW Shell collection. Ostatnio (jakiś rok temu) były takie za punkty na stacjach. Aplikacja też od nich.

[@PaulRestorer]

W Krakowie na pchlim targu od czasu do czasu pojawiają się takie uszkodzone modele z serii Bluetooth, A to Ferrari A to BMW tak. jak napisał kolega Szymon ten Bluetooth pochodzi z BMW. można również próbować dostać taki model na Shellu za punkty wychodzi on gdzieś w granicach 45 zł.

I think this time you outdid yourself!
The painting and decals were the easy part…..
It was the build up of the chassis that (it looked to me anyway) was the toughest part…..
I’m looking forward to your test drive.
