DieCastRestos is a channel dedicated to the restoration and occasional customisation of diecast model cars, revitalising pre-loved toys and returning them to their former glory.
My name is Jason and after watching other ‘diecast resurrectors’ back in 2019, I decided to give modelling a go for myself having had no previous experience. I documented my processes from the very beginning and over the following years have developed and refined my techniques.
There is nothing more satisfying than giving an unloved vintage toy a new lease of life.
I hope you enjoy these videos as much as I enjoy the restorations.

MATCHBOX restomod: 75B Ferrari Berlinetta
Restomodding a Lesney Matchbox No. 75B Ferrari Berlinetta, in the Matchbox range from 1965 until 1971, joining the Superfast range in 1970.
It's my 300th episode and what better way to celebrate than restomodding one of Lesney's most iconic Matchbox castings; the 75B Ferrari Berlinetta. It even appears on a sculpture at the site of Lesney's old factory in east London such is its importance, representing an example of the first castings made at the factory between 1969 and 1982.
The model is based on Ferrari's 1963-64 250 GT Lusso, the final vehicle to bear the famous 250 name. It was a GT car focused on luxury with a stylish leather interior and wooden steering wheel, while the exterior was designed by Pininfarina and coachbuilt by Scaglietti.
While the Matchbox model did come in red during the transitional period over to the updated Superfast series in 1970 as well as rare pre-production examples, all other 'regular wheels' era cars were metallic green. Kindly donated by JC Hayes, I decided to restomod this one by painting it red and giving it a wealth of extra detail that it so deserved. I intersperse footage throughout this video from my first attempts at these castings from 2019, my 10th ever UA-cam video.

Restoring a Husky 19A Commer Walk-Thru Van, in the range from 1965 until 1969. This weeks challenge was to resurrect this neglected Husky casting. It is a 19A Commer Walk-Thru Van, the first Husky to feature a metal base. Most were painted yellow, though some late models had red bodies to match the red plastic doors. Equally, most had light grey painted bases but some later examples had plated ...

Restoring a Schuco 821 Audi 100 Coupe, in the Super Schnell series from 1970 until 1976. I firmly believe that the Audi 100 Coupé S is one of the finest looking machines to come out of Germany, arguably ever. The car took the good front-end looks of the Audi 100 sedan and teamed it with a flowing fastback. It was a vision of things to come for Audi. The 100 Coupe was powered by a 1.9 litre 4-cy...

I've not done much to it, keeping the same black exterior and cream interior colour scheme, but I've picked out some details and given it a superb set of period correct Ronal Inca wheels from Diecast Details.

But they certainly didn't make it straightforward when they chose to paint the windscreen, wheels and grille black as well as the body! They were kind in one respect an...

Actually the restoration is totally useless, when the windshield is so bad. I would never even start it.
I would be tempted to chrome the door handles and black number plates......
Awsome
Great job 👍🏻
Congratulations on your 300th episode I'm glad I could help another beautiful restored Ferrari again my friend keep up the good work have a good one and God bless
Bravo!
congratulations on 300 but it’s time to improve on that orange peel. you might have to set up a heated paint booth and move to a better quality 2k clear coat with an airbrush.
Congrats on the 300th video. :D that ferrari looks great, love the detailing and the omitted towhook. :D I think one sign of that castings' popularity is that you can still find them at flea markets and faires in all kinds of conditions. they just sold so well. :)
Nice
Super taf de restorasion top cool😊❤
Super restorasion tu top taf cool 😊
Man that’s another AWESOME restoration buddy and congrats on your 300th video. That color looks amazing and the new clear coat looks better in my opinion.
🤗❤️👍
CONGRATULATION 😁
What I know about the model, hopefully helpful to you. The TW9 was one of the last models released under Husky Toys branding, after the expiry of the exclusivity deal with Woolworths and the launch of Corgi Juniors it initially gained thin Whizzwheels before the casting was re-engineered to take the standard wide version, I think Corgi retired it about 1973 so around a seven year run in two brands and with three different wheel types. I have one awaiting restoration, an early thin wheel Corgi Junior in cream.
Good to know, thank you!
Excellent job. Congratulations on the 300 milestone 👍
Congratulations on 300 restorations! The model looks great and the red really sets it all off. Thanks for sharing this.
Congratulations on the milestone and I have that exact same model, it’s tires keep falling off the rims.
Congratulations on hitting a huge milestone! I look forward to seeing your episodes each week! Thanks for sharing your content!
Congrats on 300 ! Yes, gee the years have rolled on, was around watching from day 1. Well done, cheers!
Nice!
👍 Thx 🇧🇪.
One of my favorite diecast restoration channels 👌
Glad to hear it!
Congratulations Jason on 300 uploads. That is an amazing transformation. Leslie & Rodney Smith, as well as Jack Odell would be extremely proud of how much people still continue to love and cherish the models they made so long ago.
Awesome restoration and congrats on your 300th Edition 🎉😃👍
Congratulations on the 300th video. So much brilliant work during these years and with joy and history telling. Thank you so much.
And thank you for your support! 🙏🏻
Awesome
Nice restoration, details and paint job!! Congratulations on your 300th video!
Great restoration. Like.
You gave that car a second life. One of my favourites as a kid never looked better.
Congratulations on the 300th video, also brilliant restoration as always
Great job 👍🏻
I cannot believe it is the same model! The color scheme looks great and as far as the windshield is concerned I don't think you had a choice but to sand off the paint as it was thick and resistant to the Detrol and polishing compound. The decals for the wheels are just excellent. Thanks for sharing this tutorial.
Is that jazz from Transformers, g1?
Yeah it is! Though mine I’ve based on the 1977 car, I believe that G1 Jazz is a 935/76
@@DieCastRestos oh alright 👍
Another great build is always there Jason keep up the good work have a good one and God bless my friend
Adding this van to my collection soon. :)
Excellent
Bonjour Jason. Aurais tu un lien pour les decals stp?

very nice mate, lovely.
Nice clean up job , made it into a more chunky looking model .
Precioso, mejor que nuevo! 😍🇪🇦
Nice work on the Viper, There was a TV Show from the 1990's Called Viper, The Show about a Red Dodge Viper that Transforms into a Super Crime Fighting Car that catches bad guys, and I do agree with you that today's Maisto Castings aren't as perfect as the ones from the earlier years but they do sometimes make new castings that catch my interest and their sometimes cheaper then Hotwheels & Matchboxs that I sometimes buy at Walmart.
Maisto. Custom. Recreating @Adam. C3046. S. Dodge. GTS!
i think you should do more maisto castings from the 90s, since they’re pretty good (also you don’t have to be stuck with 1/64 maisto castings as well)
Nice Tribute build, details and paint job!!
Great job as always Looks like you could get in it an and drive away!
Husky. Restoration 19. A. Commer. Walk. Thru. Van
Amazing 😍 Thank you so much! I can't believe how much work has gone in to it, I'm looking forward to receiving the finished product and placing it on my dashboard for all to see (Sorry about the reg change)
At least it was caught in time to fix it.
No need to apologise 😂 just adds an element of drama! I’m glad you like it though
Lovely 😍
Maisto are better sized and all that. Sadly they f up by removing the interiors. They got afraid of getting into a market share fight with Mattel and decided to go for the "cheaper" diecast market instead.
That's why I never touch Maisto 1:64 💯
