Getting stuck into the Holden HG Subframe Rust Repairs
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.Месяц назад
In this episode we continue on with the HG subframe rust repairs. Rust repairs can be a very daunting task but I’ve found the easiest way to tackle them is to work at one small section at a time. Once that is finished, move on to the next and before you know it you’re making inroads into it.

The beginning of project one! 1971 HG Kingswood
Great to hear someone telling others on real cost to do up a car. Well done
I built a car for my brother in 1990 it cost 13k , then a 9" and 5spd another 3k , everything new . About the same price as a base carry at the time
Yes . THE Days of buying a Sedan or ute for $150.00 DRIVE away are far gone .Now we add more Zero s .yr ute looks Fantastic HKs forever
The ute looks fantastic 👌 😍 👏
Thanks mate
The cost of building a car is the reason there is lots of unfinished projects up for sale . Anyone car pull a car apart, then the big dollars start lowering there bank balance. I wanted a rat rod , I bought a unfinished project had a budget of 30 to 40 k and I ended up spending nearly $200 k . Once it goes to a car fabrication shop then you have to keep at it till completion and its now not a rat rod
Yeah it’s definitely easy to get overwhelmed with a project. Only way to get it done is to keep chipping away at it. Is your rod all finished now?
@@Wreck2resto yes , its been built and on the road about 9 years, it took 8 years to build, its a cheque book car , caused me a lot of stress and arguing from time to time with the fabricator. Its a 28 model pick up running a 348 w headed big block chev , I havnt driven it for 3 years as I have a 32 coupe with a blown chev 350 that I love more
Beautiful craftsmanship nice to see local content
Thanks mate. Are you down Albany way?
Great video mate Yeah o was telling the boy we need about 20g for our HG just to get it ready to roll
Yeah it all adds up pretty quickly
How many bottles of mig / tig gas do you think you used?
For the rust repairs and mild steel fab work I went through one of the bigger g size bottles of argon shield and then for the stainless tig work I went through another one and a half e size bottles of argon. That’s another pretty big cost that I didn’t include in the costings
@@Wreck2resto Good to know as I am just starting out.
Nice breakdown, even if your able to do a lot yourself, the costs are still up there, something thats was $20 a few years ago, is like $80 plus now, and some of it still isnt great, as theres a lot of junk out there, sweet vid, ute looks beautiful, happy days 🍻🍻🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺👍
💯 I’m definitely noticing it now that I’m purchasing some parts from the next car.
@Wreck2resto yeah, got check out what ya buying, unless you see real photos or in the flesh it's ok, but AI images and descriptions are far and few between compared to what you get at times, looking forward to the next project 😉 🍻🍻🦘🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺👍
$100 k seems to be nothing these days. i bet holden wouldn't have believed how this could happen. They closed down when they could of just made parts for all the models they made over the years and made a killing.
Isn't that spot on 👍🇦🇺🦘🍻🍻
I definitely agree with that
Great breakdown of costs mate. My sketchy backyard build is blowing up.I try and explain to my non car friends just how much shit costs...
Thanks mate. Yeah everything adds up very quickly
Thanks for the video. Very helpful and informative
All good. I’m glad it was helpful 👍
What a beautiful ute mate, very well done!!
Hi Mate, love your graphic on your T-Shirt! Did you do this yourself or outsource the design?
Hi Mate. Thanks. We had the idea of the design but we outsourced the graphic design part and then we got the shirts printed ourselves. We are in the process of organising some merchandise to be able to sell on our website.
@@Wreck2resto nice! If you don't mind me asking ... who did you outsource the design too?
Not at all, www.troydesigns.com.au/ Troy was great to deal with and we’re stoked with the logo he created. He was reasonably priced and turn around time was great so we highly recommend.
Does the ute roll ok on the wheel dollys and frames ?
Yeah I can easily wheel it around the shed by myself
nice buddy you have done a excellent job its important guys like you save these cars before there all gone
Thanks mate. Got a few more in the shed to save as well 👍
Amazing, so are you based in WA? This is brilliant &Even better with no annoying back ground music.
Thanks mate. Yeah we are in the southern part of WA 👍
Mate what a build absolutely mint love the blue my boy and i have started his HG Brougham build hopefully we can get it down to the max Pinjarra car show next year
Thanks mate. How far along are you with the build at the moment?
@@Wreck2resto haha picked up and cleaned out finished first video on it 😄 We will release the videos December once we have a heap up are sleeve
great job great colour😊
Thanks. I’ve just done a full build video on it if you wanted to have a look 👍
Nice one. Cheers for the vid....I've bitten off more than i can chew with a Tonner. Doing my head in.🤪. I'm getting pretty good, slow and half arsed yes. But it's got lots more metal now.
That’s always the way. As the saying goes jumping in the deep end teaches you to swim a lot quicker 👍 Just keep chipping away at it and before you know it you will be done.
looks good mate :P Subscribed
Thanks mate. Appreciate it 👍
@@Wreck2resto 4k is awesome, the only think i would suggest is a fluffycat mic cover so you dont have to edit the wind out as much .. but great video
Yeah I’m not happy with the mic I’m using so we are looking at upgrading it shortly
@@Wreck2resto i highly recommend the DJi mic
Spot on build. Perfect wheel combination.
Amazing thanks for sharing.
Bloody beautiful work 👏 👌 😍 🙌 I hope HG KINGSWOOD UTE comes up as good 👍
Nice ute there. Glad to see it’s NOT another crappy LS in there. Be mindful of that diff though as Holden diffs don’t like a lot of power running through them. Upgrade to an Eaton true trac centre and never worry again.
Thanks mate. It’s definitely on the list of things for the future
Would love for you to say how much it cost in your time and everything else out of pocket. Just so people understand what it took to get the results you have. Great job. I loved everything about it. Cheers
Thanks for that. I might look at doing another video in the future with a break down of costs. The prices of most things have definitely increased from when I finished the Ute 5 years ago though 👍
@@Wreck2resto it’s crazy. I rebuilt a car in 2005. Great build. Hz ute. Loved it. Going through it again now with an early falcon. What a difference. Ridiculous. Looking forward to seeing what’s next!
Brilliant job mate she's a bute cheers
Epic job
Thanks 👍
Beautiful
Thanks 👍
Absolutely brilliant work loving it, looking forward to the Ute and prem sweet video. Have a great week ahead 🍻 🇦🇺 🤝 🇦🇺🦘🦘🏔🏔🌨🌨
Thanks mate 👍
@Wreck2resto your welcome mate anytime 😊 👍 🦘
Very nice I cant wait to see the prem after the HG i imagine
Thanks. Yeah getting the hg Ute done and then onto the prem
Well done 👏 ✔️ 👍
Im doing my HG KINGSWOOD UTE RESTO AS WELL. GOOD LUCK 👍 👍
Nice mate. Same to you. It is a lot of work but the end goal is definitely worth it 👍
great work , ,, what settings you using ,,, looked like you using palse ,, nice tip on the wire ,,,👍
Thanks mate. Yeah it’s set up on pulse. About 40a high and 10a low. Creates a bit less heat on the 1mm sheet.
@@Wreck2resto Cool,,, I'll have to give it go , hope it should improve my welds, a little hit and miss at the moment , need lot more practice and playing with different setting
Yeah it definitely takes practice. I have one of the Unimig Razor 4in1 welders so it’s super easy to set up. I’ll do a video of the common settings I use and how I set the welder up 👍
Nice job. Nice Shed. Great tip for using mig wire as filler and straightening it too. Thanks for sharing. 🛻
Thanks mate. I learnt that trick a few years ago and it works a treat 👍
Rust sucks. Good repairs.
Thanks. It’s definitely a time consuming process
Absolutely.
Sweet video, great idea, nice tutorial 👍 👌 have a great weekend 😊🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🏔🏔👊🍻🍻
Thanks mate. You too 👍
@Wreck2resto your welcome and thankyou ☺️ 😊
Very nice ❤

@@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS thanks for the kind words 👍
@@Wreck2resto your welcome 🙏 🤗
New Subscribers #322 and that trim is magical ✨️ 😍 sweet episode. I finally got a recommendation from youtube I liked 👍 watching from Cradle Mountain Tasmania 🇦🇺🇦🇺🏔🏔🦘🦘🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺🍻🍻 KC 🦘🇦🇺
New subscriber, just found your channel. HKTG one of the best of all time. Keep the vids coming love it.
Thanks mate. I’ve got plenty of Hktg content coming up so stay tuned 👍
What a beast. I had an HK 4 door sedan with a 186 and it is my favourite car of all time. Well maybe an HK Monaro would actually be my favourite if I had owned one.
@@paul-57 Mine as well. I think almost every car guy or girls dream car is a Hk Monaro. Unfortunately they are out of reach for most people now.
Killer mate
@@downtheshedwithbyron thanks mate. Trimmer finished putting the covers on the seats this week so I’ll have to do a video on the finished product because they look 👌
@@Wreck2resto yeah mate nice My boy and i brought a HG Brougham the other day which is going to be fun
Mustard yellow ... my favorite colour :)
It won’t be for much longer
Where can I can door cards fixed up for my HG Brougham??????
Not sure who repairs them but you can get new ones complete from winners products
Thank you I have not heard of Winners I will google them. Thank you for your help. Good luck with your project
I’ve put the website in the description below the video 👍
You are a good man. Thanks Champ appreciate you
Beautiful quality. What's the official colour called? And trim code of you don't mind.i want to see if my project hg ute is same colour before i order
This colour is called yulunga maroon and the code for it is 12r. I believe it is only a Hk colour though so maybe check on the winners website for the hg interior code 👍
Tough Plastic 💪
Best holden ever made .have a few of them.
Very nice wish I had your shed
Thanks mate. I’m definitely happy with it 👍
