In this type restoration, bringing back nice colors is the biggest challenge.

You've done a great job bringing back the colours. Can I please ask how you bright back the colours? it's brilliant better than re-colourised.

Chillin, colors are beautifully done!!!
Beyond the colors, very natural and real restore.

I am not sure if Chillin has re-colourised the photo looks to me he has brought back the colours beautifully perhaps using photoshop plug-ins which I hope he might share with us which plug-ins he used.

No plug-ins, they don't exist.
First step: choose the right area for the levels adjustments.
The rest is retouching & repair work (use curves selectively).

Thank you aartist & sergio2263

Thanks very much Chillin I shall save your tutorials which will be very helpful if I come across another photo with that type of damage.
