Use this thread to post your vintage vehicle or figure restorations! Tips, techniques, advice and sources for restoration parts and decals.
I had a bunch in my other thread before the Photobucket incident, but I'll use this thread from now on for all my recent restorations. Top is the Before, bottom is after restoration decals.

FYI, ToyHax.com just added a bunch of new sets. I picked up the Cobra Paralyzer. I also got the RAM set.
Check them out! https://toyhax.com/

Sky Havoc. I was fortunate to find one that never had decals, so there was no residue to clean up. I used ToyHax decals. If you don't have the blueprints to apply decals you can either Google them or search eBay for instructions.

This was a yard sale find in bad shape. Sourced the parts, and restored it to original glory

Thanks Xero. Next up...his awkward tiger striped stepbrother: The Tiger Paw.
I’m confident I can find you a hose Xero. I’ll get back to you.
