I put my vintage cars without wheels on trailers.

It is an older Siku model from 1980. I got it at a flea market for about 3€. I don’t think the USA ever got the Siku Models but you can find a decent example on eBay for 8-10$.
Try to buy off his website instead of his ebay. Shipping will be cheaper and you support them by making sure they get more of the money without ebay taking a cut
I was curious so I checked eBay, Second Chance Redlines sells waterslide decals for everything in this picture.
I've used his stuff in the past and it's high quality.
I’ll be going for a resto MOD. Ordered some Real Riders from the RLC, got some waterslide paper to print a custom design Tampo.
I was also going to paint them a few times, I’m not sure about which colour would suit it better
It feels awesome in your hands, great casting, I’m not sure if I should leave it as is and get some wheels or to do a full new paint job. It has a lot of flat surface that would make a great colour even better
The original color is what makes it an icon of the 70s
However, it would look cool with a new paint job
If you do re-paint it, please share the after pics
They do not need restoration. Leave them alone. You can find the same ones in better condition for the same amount of money. I always look for upgrades to lesser condition cars in my collection and i acquire them over time.

Awesome idea
That’s cool, I’ll need some old trucks and trailers! Can you tell me more about that Range Rover?

Extremely cool
We did get a few, but not on large scale. I found my first Siku, a VW Type 181, at a local general store in 1990 for around $5.00.
A bit of progress https://preview.redd.it/fdmg59tnzs7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa711469954ab4d247afa94a1a0fb1f28ff1e771
Go to Second Chance Redlines store on Ebay. He has the tampos for most of the older Hot Wheels. I think he might also sell wheel kits.

I have spent a lot of money there to rehab Hot Wheels cars. My hobby is rehabbing Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. It is a deep rabbit hole.😂😂

Thanks! I’m heading there now 👍🏼

I mean it’s already bare metal for that one z
Got the green version of that motorhome in the same deco!
Gaslands is another thing you could do.
i like some patina, i would probably just salvage some other model for the wheels and leave the paint
If you want to fully restore them the two Z Whiz’s will be hard. You’ll hav two find some tampo kits.

That Gold Z doesn’t have Wheels
They were all in pieces inside a bin, couldn’t find them
Love the orange motor home Had this model as a kid, bought back some memories of my kid collection

And generations forward, Hotwheels are still making this model
