Cool Again Restoration

Restoration 1970's Tonka F1 - Probably Last One In The World . Watch a well done restoration about a very rare toy,1970's Tonka Formula 1 Racing Car.
This Tonka is made in the 1970's and is perfect for restoration video !

While looking for a Tonka for restoration, I don't know how but I found this rarity. I must mention that I found only two Tonka of this model. I already knew that a nice restoration video will come out. I bought it, the Tonka arrived and I started to restore it even though I was working on another restoration. I put everything aside and started by disassembling it.
After disassembly, although I thought at the beginning of the restoration that it would be easier to restore, I quickly realized that it would not be so. I counted 58 pieces that needed restoration.
After that, I tested it for lead, it came out negative and I started sanding it, then painting it and things became simpler. I was already in the middle of restoration. The cyclone is also present in this restoration video as well as nickel plating. 
I worked hard but with pleasure for this restoration to be to your liking, I hope you like it. And in the end, I finished the restoration video with a comic moment,as I used to.
Cost of restoration : around 140 $,just 75$ was the Tonka
Time of restoration : I worked 3 weeks for the video,but I think only half of time was physical work.
