I Found a Vintage Corgi Refuse Truck, Garbage Truck & Restored It 003

In today’s restoration episode, I take on a classic #VintageCorgi Refuse Truck — a nostalgic #GarbageTruck / #RefuseTruck that’s definitely seen better days. Rusted metal, chipped paint, worn decals… this little diecast has survived decades of play, and now it’s time to bring it back to life.

Join me as I strip it down, repair the moving parts, fix the wheels, repaint it, and fully restore it to its former glory. Whether you're into #DiecastRestoration, #ToyRestoration, or just love a satisfying transformation, this one’s for you!

📌 What’s in this restoration:
✔ Full teardown
