Recovery of a distorted BMW

The last autumn I noticed at a flea market this BMW 635, and I liked its shape, so I bought it. I bought it, in spite of its distorted chassis. I hoped, I can restore it without breaking it; and it happened so! Luckily the windows and the interieur were all right. Otherwise it is a totally noname toy car, nothing is written on its baseplate. (Later turned out, that it is an American brand, the TootsieToy-made model.)



The baseplate was made of plastic and only a little plastic part hold the axles, so when I changed the wheels, they were broken off. Never mind, I replaced with a better solution, which gave suspension, too, which the car hadn't previously.



Instead of the original yellow, I thought a metallic light blue colour would fit better to this BMW.


Finally I painted the details and made a number plate.
