1960s Rusty Structo Emergency Rescue Van Restoration

I purchased this very rusty 1960s Structo Emergency Rescue Van July of 2020 with a box of about 15 other toy trucks. This one needed help badly. Definitely had its issues and did not turn out to be my best restoration, however for the condition that it started in, I'm overall very happy with how it turned out. I found out that my microphone is having issues so please excuse the audio cutting in and out. I now have it fixed for the next video.
