  1. Solved !!! The wire was slightly bend, causing loss of tension on the doors. The wire should be perfectly right. It took some time, and care not to cause metal fatigue, but finally it gives the right tension to keep the doors closed, or to get them opened easily. British precision in the seventies...

    Thanks for the reactions !

    have you tried the base on it? it might hold the bottom of the doors so they feel tighter. the wear on the right side hinge looks like it could be that way when you zoom in to it

    Yes, I know what you mean. I did try, no difference...

  3. I'm restoring a diecast Corgi car.

    I stripped and removed the paint. But when reinstalling the doors, they are hanging loose, they don't keep opened or closed. It must have something to do with that coil spring, shaped as an iron wire. But I can't figure it out...

    Someone ๐Ÿ™?

  4. I've never seen that van in de tv-series, something I seem to have missed.

    Cool van I must admit, worked out well.

    Apart from this, I have a question. Does anyone know the type of the helicopter?

    I' m looking to build one to combine with the Ferrari.
