Well, it's more like a pre-christmas gift, I couldn't hide it anymore while Mr. P Jr. visited me in the shop! 😀<br>Did you enjoy this bigger project? Let me know 🙂

Dear My Mechanics, I'm happy to see that you've finally restored your Datsun, but I didn't realize it was so small...

When I saw the toy with all these missing and broken parts I said "The kid that had owned this toy must have had a lot of fun, a lot of good memories"

I was born in 1957 so these were a big part of my childhood. I am blown away with your work and I want to take it for a ride around the block.

There's not a car at any car show anywhere that's as beautiful as that one.

I'm Italian and I had one little Giordani car when I was a child, in the 60s. At that time Giordani was one of the most important Italian toy manufacturers.

Fantastic restoration. Hope the kid appreciates it and will give his old man a ride back from the Bierstube when needed. One can almost feel the love of a father for his son in this video!

The paint and the brass bushings instead of plastic are FAR better than new.<br>For anyone who thought that the rear axle was not correct, the two crank throws are SUPPOSED to be offset, not at exactly 180°. This is so if you stop, the pedals cannot be at top and bottom, which would make it hard to get it moving again. The offset makes it easier, even if it does pedal a little oddly.
