Sorry mate will do Cheers for watching

I run most of the videos I watch at 1.5 speed. Sometimes when I want detail I run that bit at .75 or even .5 speed

My wrong just so used to say hj Cheers

Ahh good comment , if you not educate , that's not my fault, the video is about getting it ready running at the lowest cost , if you want to watch hour after hour someone rubbing a car body down this isn't for you , or maybe subscribe you mine surprised. Like the video says ,I cover everything

Cheers yes I have the skills but not everyone can do everything, even I carnt wait for the end

Trying my best to show just what it takes in Australia to get a vehicle ready for the road extremely strict here is Australia

Cheers it's hard to price , I'm doing 3 different prices at the end 3 different hours spent, 1 basic get it driving 2 what I'm doing 3 complete resto Hopefully it's informative

Yeah it was swapped out before I got it, cheers!

When we were kids would always pick up cars for free get it running and you can have it Fj torana eh hr ek

Our family had one , wagon under dash Aircon, tow bar and pump up air shocks at backit was an ex company car super clean, bought it in 1987 for around 5500 bucks

That's what this video is about trying to show owners just what goes into getting a bar find road ready at the lowest price Cheers good luck with the prem

@@grumpysgarage4387 most of the youngies wouldnt know how to acutally fix a car. rebuild a carby and such

Cheers the more I get into it more I'm find missing, will set me back a little

@@grumpysgarage4387 I'll be going through the same deal Soon enough , Need to keep these Classics on the Road , Watching you do this is bringing back Motivation , what i used to do all the time years ago ,, A Refresher Course , Loving it 🍻

it works a treat

the price was around 8k ended up getting it for 5k should be looking around 6-7k to get it on the road fingers crossed

they were all shit cheap cars in the day

Aussie icons mate, Look after them and they out last anything.

Yea I agree but that shit car took me places all over Australia an bush bashing for $100 for years then went to the wreckers for $100😅

And that's true ,but by the time you restore it's cost a bomb and there are better late model cars for less money .

It's about the build and the love of it,not the cost .

Thanks heaps for subscribing!

Each to their own I guess

Yep sure is , a rare car and looked great when they were new. Also came in a brown bronze colour with cream roof.

yes it is wasn't a fan back in the day

I remember doing the ball joints on the side of the road pain in the ass

My wrong just so used to saying J due to the other build cheers

my wrong just so used to saying J

No to ball no boating holidays I'm guessing

The A/C has me stumped but he did explain in the vid why it had the banjo.

the air was dealership fitted back in the day Diff was swapped out

hard not to have a beer just 5 steps away lol

This is the way 🍻

The owner let his mate swap it out That's why I didn't reco it Cheers

The tank was very clean on the inside Cheers

I'm doing this for 2 reasons First there is heaps of cars out there 2 I needed motivation something I know that gets me of my ass , between work and family time gets away , 23 days left to finish her wish me luck Cheers

Haha after all the time editing the video I didn't pick it up until I uploaded the video Then I had I'm a idiot moment Cheers for watching

Deauville Blue? I had a HX Sandman in that colour... 308 Auto, LSD, pump up rear suspension, Ivory interior, windows on the side, striping. Last seen c1982, Staff carpark, Russell St Police HQ Melb. I'd love to have it back.

@@TheHsan22 Yep bloody coppers will knock off anything not nailed down........😂

@colinl9018 lol...I sold it in 1981. I used to park in that car park afterhours for years, never challenged.

Nothing really good about that, I’ve sold better hq, hz, wb, and even my hg all were loads better, this car is a pile of crap if you ask me! Plus my mates $100 hq was loads better and any early Holden to be honest is not worth more than 5000 if you ask me I will not buy it. I would never touch it, or waste my time with that piece of shit. Never would I buy an old Holden again anyway, do you wonder why no more Holden in Australia? Haha They were always cheap cars in the days compared to some fords, obviously people buying them now for bullshit prices are blindsighted or were not around at the time to know the crap value and just a shitbox cheap car they were to buy. I had a few because of lack of money and needing a shitbox runabout. Mind you I did own other marquees but I do know the Holden cars truly are just good to run into the ground. Like the hq races. That’s all not keepers or of any value truly.

Cheers hope you enjoyed watching
