A Sweet Transformation

This was not a restoration, but a repaint with new identity. This is my favourite car, the Volkswagen 1600 variant (Type 3), but how the Hot Wheels painted it... 

I could buy it at a fairly good price - although it is a rare model in Hungary - and I thought, I will make another, much more attractive car from it.

I knew at once this German car must be a Milka chocolate delivery van. So after I removed the original coat, I painted it Milka-lilac.

The I assembled the parts and then made Milka-stickers.

I designed a custom box for her.

A Peugeot Unusually From America

 This Peugeot 505 was produced by the American Hot Wheels by Mattel. I have never seen previously European rare models (except the VW and the Mercedes-Benz) in range of Hot Wheels. The wheels are too big, but the chassis is all right, so when I noticed this car at a flea market, I thought it is a must to buy and customize it!

 

The windows and the wheels were in fairy good condition, so I could start the restoration.

Instead of the original metallic yellow, it got a red-orange colour - with some details, too.
