Great restoration, I received this same transporter when I was seven years old. That was over sixty years ago and I still have this today.

Next time you have to deal with rust like that, there is some stuff called naval jelly. I buy it at an auto parts store. It completely removes rust. It is an acid so you do have to take precautions. Both of these transporters are beautiful. It's hard go choose which is a favorite. I like the red one just a little more.

It does kind of reveal that the cars themselves aren't really to scale with each other, though. I mean, look at the size of that Volkswagen! Imagine a VW Beetle that's bigger than the cab of a tractor-trailer car transporter. :)
