Project Summary

This project is about restoring an AUTOart Bugatti Veyron diecast model I found second-hand for $80.

I believe models like this should not end up as scrap or parts donors. Every piece deserves a second life, especially when it represents such an iconic car.

Since I create restoration content for YouTube, I added some weathering to support the opening story and visual presentation. However, the real damage and missing parts are authentic, and I will show them in detail in my project log.

The project is inspired by Bugatti’s “Golden Era” celebration at Monterey Car Week 2023. While that event focused on new Bugatti creations, I believe the Veyron is one of the strongest symbols of Bugatti’s modern golden era. It was the car that changed what a hypercar could be, and this AUTOart model deserves to be restored, not forgotten.

My goal is to restore and customize this model into a clean cinematic showcase build, using a junkyard-style diorama to tell the story of where it started.

The Bearings Are Finally Here!

The wheel bearings have finally arrived!

Today I’m finishing the wheel models and designing the mounting points for the bearings. Everything needs to fit precisely while keeping the wheels functional and properly aligned.

Tomorrow, all four wheels are going to print.
