Best bit is the experience with your young fella and the numerous family trips to be had. Well done!
Couldn't agree more! thank you
Too polite about FB marketplace, on the other hand you have saved a nice vehicle, great work
Thanks Craig , yeah well I guess I accepted the deal so it’s my issue now thanks for your comment
@@georgeauto they aren’t making anymore of these things so well done saving it mate.
It looks like the guy you bought it from was selling parts off it for shard😂 The car will be nice once you finish with it.
Possibly he seemed pretty straight though
On the ghia 😂
What a transformation. Nice work 🤙
@@JC-zg4xe Broooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I bought a 2004 SX RWD Territory last year for $5,000. The seller fixed the car at his expense so it could pass rego. I think I got a good deal.
This is such a great tale! It’s great these older cars can still be brought back to its former glory. Only issue I have is they can be easily written off because you can’t insure them for much.
Yes great point thanks for your comment
Excellent George well done mate. Starting to look good. I’ve got the same idea as you, buy one that is a little shabby but fix everything up yourself so you know it’s safe with new parts. Then you have a car that should be trouble free for years to come
Thankyou Patrick, appreciate your comment, and yes that's what I was thinking, might be able to find a cleaner one for a bit more but, didn't want to spend ages looking around just rather get into it
Love it. Awesome when someone brings life back to a mistreated car.
I've been doing so with my VE SS L98 where 70 percent of the car is now new.
awesome to hear mate, thanks for the comment, I feel like not enough people have time time or care to fix cars, easier to wreck them and make a quick buck but its good to save them too I think
I think 70% of my VE ute needs to be replaced with new parts
This makes awesome content too, love your work and how you have a good at fixing restoring everything 💯💯💯
I appreciate that!
@@georgeauto Been watching this ep over and over as I just bought a 7 seater Ford Everest sight unseen interstate and waiting for it ti arrive (3 weeks). Love to see more content on this family daily beast
"Guy agreed to drive it home so we got an unregistered vehicle permit" Said no one ever 😂
We actually did though had no plates and I needed to get it to the bush shop and back to myplace so did a 28 day permit on it
ive done it about 3 times, not that bad
hey out of the 2 times ive driven a car home from buying (no rego) ive been pulled over once, so its worth the 40 bucks
I’ve done it dozens of times with family and friends and 7 times myself there nothing wrong with it at all… pulled over a handful of times no issues at all, police just doing their job they see a no plate car they pull it over and you have the papers and off you go..
new subscriber ,glad to be here mate,just a very quick Territory RWC incident at work 5 years ago ,customer requested a RWC and i knew within 28 seconds it was going to be a headache when he stated all i need is a transfer ...hint hint hint ,two days later it turned up and it sounded odd ,got all the details told the young fella go get a coffee and a sausage roll at the bakery and come back in 90 minutes ,lifted the bonnet and im greeted with a Boss 290,closed bonnet ,rang hes mobile and explained theres an issue without relevant engineers paperwork and i was threatened with a Fitzroy uppercut whatever that form of punishment might be ,interesting build its a shame Ford never did this
Wow mate , that’s a crazy story i know of a few people who are keen to boss swap theirs also , would be a lot of work , thanks for that comment 👌
Love how you made this a project with your son. When I was 18 I bought an EB XR6 timing chain dampener broke and fell into sump. Was the best bonding time I’ve ever had with my dad
thats amazing to hear mate , thanks for sharing that with us
Awesome effort man, sounds like you've already got insane value out of the experience for the young bloke, that's education you can't pay enough for!!
Thankyou yes love a positive comment ! I have
I love the Territories. They look great. Hat tip to you for putting in the hard yards to bring it back to life. Your patience has paid off. Congrats dude.
Thankyou Peter ! Much appreciated
awesome video man - i used to drive a RWD '06 territory and i love every second of it even though it was knackered. i took it everywhere when i got my P's before i bought a new car. cant wait to see how it continues!
Thanks mate ! Hoping I like this one also
Subbed, good on ya for doing it with your son, don't see enough of father son mechanics and to me as a kid that was some of my best memories of my father.
Great video, well done
Thanks mate welcome to the channel hope you enjoy the videos
Love the format and content mate. Subscribed for future content!
Awesome thanks uncle John! Welcome
Amazing video. I can totally understand the project aspect as opposed to paying a bit extra and not having the potential learning opportunities.
Thankyou mate, yeah that's it some quality time with the son as well
What a cool vid!! Made me smile watching so can’t thank you enough! You’re a legend mate keep doing what you’re doing!
Thanks William love a positive comment
That was really satisfying to watch mate, nice seeing it come back to life
Thankyou ! Still a bit to go but getting there slowly
Great video mate, thanks for the mention
Any time! Thanks for helping me out, i have that K frame i need to so soon also!
Same! Keen to see the progress on this! Be sik once the front mount is on 🔥
Aw bro I feel for you!
I bought a 2006 Ford Territory GHIA Turbo august last year, the only problem listed was that it has a knock going over bumps in the front end, said that he thought it was the shocks and mounts, was cheap enough for just those so I thought I’d fly down to Sydney and pick it up and drive it home (6hr drive home) when I had it up on a mates hoist it needs 2x tyres, front diff bushes, steering rack, rear diff bushes, turbo (steel factory oil pipe filter clogged and has starved the turbo), had a front main leak, balancer was about to fall off.
I’ve fixed all the oil leaks and fitted a new balancer, water pump, radiator hoses, drivebelt, tensioner and idler, front diff bushes I put superpro hybrids in so won’t have to do them again, new rack and rack ends, tie rod ends, put 2x new tyres on and in a couple weeks I’m about to fit SY2 front suspension as the lower ball joints are stuffed.
Slowly but surely it’s getting there but it has been an expensive learning curve, I love the car lots it’s a very fun car and all but I wish I inspected it or had it inspected (arrived at 930pm at night so couldn’t see much when looking at it)
Once the SY2 suspension is in, I get the rear differential bushes done and replace the turbo it’ll be so good but I love it still.
Good on you mate. Thanks for your time and great videos .
Thanks Clinton, always appreciate a positive comment
Hi Mate, good job, I'm doing a turbo territory up myself, just a tip, make sure you change the inline turbo oil filter just in case you haven't already done it, make the oil presure drop and the oil light on, its a tiny little filter just before the oil pressure sensor.
Thanks for the tip, I haven't done that but ill definitely give it a go
great vid mate - hope to see more of this one as it progresses
Thankyou ! Stay tuned for next one as if progresses
nice work, i love my terry, iits not turbo but i love it. They have their downsides but they arent hard to sort. Nice work man
Thank you yeah I can’t wait to see how it feels on road
Looks mint now will definitely be following along to see the progress
Thanks 🙏 I think it will come up so much better when I touch up all the paint defects too and give it a proper paint correction
So good to see Aussie cars bought back to life
Thankyou yes I get a weird satisfaction out of it
great job of bringing it back to life. Looks like it'll turn into such a cool suv. I hope one day to do projects like this with my boy. Good luck and keep up the good work!
Thankyou! yes its good fun with the boy, if you make it happen it will happen
Good effort mate , 1st time viewer but I'll be back. Also I think you're local to me as the places you went are right around me ha ha
Oh really amazing ! We have two houses at the moment on both sides of Melbourne
Congrats on everything mate, amazing video btw, insane efforts! keep it up!
Thank you so much mate, I really appreciate it
Farrrk that was a lot of work, I would have noped out as soon as seeing it in person.
I’d be careful with the 7 seat conversion - if you do it without informing VicRoads and you have an accident, insurance likely won’t cover you, even if it’s a factory part. You may or may not need a separate roadworthy cert to get it all legit - best to ask them.
Yeah man 99% of people would have but not here, it’s like that with most of my projects , really didn’t take that long and was a good few weekends learning/ spending time with the boy , the seats are a direct bolt in , similar to the old VNs and EBs that would have a bolt in dickie seat it’s all factory
Awesome video mate! Enjoy all your content. Should be a great car once completed. Good family car the Territory…. 👍🏽
Thanks Craig ! Hopefully we can enjoy some days out in this thing
Fantastic video George, as always 👊🏻
Glad you enjoyed it thank you sir
Awesome content, really enjoed it! To many more adventures, just hopefully not so expensive ones.
Thankyou ! Yes hopefully not
i have a very similar story with buying a Territory on marketplace that said "it only needs a few things" - 12 months later i think i've got it sorted! lol
These are so cool. I was lucky enough to buy one for my partner when she was a nanny to four kids. She hated the fuel economy but we loved the 5,500 km road trip from Christchurch to Cape Reinga, coromandel and back to Christchurch last summer. Also, we were camping in the back of it but the double mattress didn't really fit.
That’s amazing ! Yes not looking forward to the fuel hills
Win win win George. Priceless time with your young bloke too.
Thank you yes car is cooked but we learning alot
Gonna be a clean family rig brother! Nothing makes me smile like this stuff
I hope so mate, thanks for your comment made me smile also
Pick a part is genuinely one of the best places in existence. Love it there
Totally aggreed , I get so happy walking in every time
I feel ya man, all these little issues add up and cost time and money, and with Fords going up in prices market prices for parts are starting to go up. Unfortunately the young ones love to own these vehicles but they dont look after them or maintain them due to lack of funds. Bottom line, a message to all young men out there, dont buy a car you cant afford to maintain, you will destroy a legendary vehicle with your brokeness. I am doing up an BF XR6T ZF6 at the moment that was repo'd of a young man who couldn't make payments and it is a total mess, 16k in parts to date, but it will be a one of a kind, all carbon fibre interior trims and updates, yeah boy! Nice to see you looking after these iconic cars. Its kind of addictive the feels you get from restoring a nice FORD too, peace.
Amazing mate thankyou when’s the car due to be finished
@@georgeauto finishing it when I get back to Perth in December this year.
I have also been educated- tyvm - & congrats on a job well done- 300 is good power for a 7 seater that can go most places, is a pity that this car didn’t come stock with bigger wheels & clearance.
Thankyou yes exactly
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but you’ll need to get the car engineered or recompiled if you put 7 seats in a 5 seater car. Same if you take the two extra seats out of a 7 seater to make more room. You can get done for it in most states and territories so just look into it mate.
Yes something I have to look into thanks
mate you can buy the territory as a 7 seater or a 5 seater they all have the mount spot for the extra seat and belts because of this you can put the extra seat in the back no engineering needed because it was a factory option i should know as i have had both cheers
@@glennarnold3970might be different for Vic or Qld but you can fit 7 seats in a car in NSW if is stays 5 seater on the vin plate and rego papers thats what the police and mechanic require for to pass a greenslip/rego check. you need to blue slip/engineer it to keep the paperwork up to date with the cars current form or you leave yourself open to defect notice from police or not being able pass 12 month rego checks to rerego your car over here its a headache.
In VIC, I'm pretty sure you just tell vicroads and they note it down in the system. That's all
Yes baby, I can’t wait to drive it😌✌️
Was there any accident repair records on the PPSR? Looks like the rad support and up under the front has had a few dents hammered out.
Great to see it back on the road, it makes me sad to see people let nice cars like this go to ruin.
No repairs yes thankyou I did notice that also I’m going to clean it up
Best upgrade you did was the SY2 suspension conversion. Super dangerous with the earlier design. You don't want to loose a front wheel on the highway lol
thanks for making me feel better about the few grand I spent on that haha, but yes after research I thought I had to with the family in the car
That wire hanging down is for the washer pump that’s missing. Unless the washer one is taped up and it’s the indicator plug
Ok thanks for that info I’ll have to double check everything
So many stories like this from Facebook marketplace.
Glad you are able to see the bright side and enjoy the experience.
The seller should refund you about $2K on the purchase price. It's people like him that ruin marketplace
Thankyou!
Oh sweet a territory. There much to look out for on buying one? Been thinking of getting one to replace my au wagon.
Yeah there is a few things , diff bushes for sure, I’d say gearbox , I’m not a pro on these but check out the territory owners group on FB
Thats funny as. I bought my 2007 TTG in Melbourne 2019 before covid hit for $5000 with 225000kms. Was in really, really good nick. Just the usual bushes and small bits here and there. Drove it howme to Darwin.
What a score! Yes I got a BF turbo ZF for 7500
And was wrapped with that , put over 70,000ks on it 280,000 all up and sold it for 13.500 , thanks for the comment
Nothing like a Father Son project, good one 👍🏼
Thanks yes been a great time together !
Awesome 👌 work mate you and your son build it together better then any brought car 💯
Thank you ! Yes it’s the quality time together that’s good
Keep it up mate! i love my Ghia turbo terry even tho i did pay 13K for it.. even for 13k mine still needs front bushes done. haha but the car is immaculate inside and out. othere then a few small dints. next up for me is the same as you! injectors and valve springs witch im doing my self. and also ARP head studs and gasket.. looking for the 380HP mark with is and ill be happy. also gonna recore the garret with a pulsar core and upgrade the Oil pump gears. but all in all i love this thing Enjoy it mate!
Nice that sounds good I’m sure this will end up costing me about the same but it won’t be as clean but I guess I can slowly work on it , let me know how you go with the mods
Well done. It went from unbelievably bad to a gem.
Good turnaround 👌🏽 You mentioned a few times that you’re not looking forward in the fuel economy, instead of putting bigger injectors on it, front mount, tune, maybe leave it stock. Stock is always reliable & economical. The moment you start boosting them, you tend to drive them harder which will burn your fuel a lot faster 😅 My opinion anyway 🤙🏽
Great point! thanks, I had 1000ccs in my FG when it was tuned to 428rw and she was getting 9.9-11L per 100ks, which was about the same as my NA BF was getting so I didn't think it made a difference, ive been driving over 300rwkw now daily for like 5 years, and most of the time im driving fully normal, so fuel consumption is ok, even my FG now has triple 460 walbros and 1650ccs and she gets about 550 to a tank I think that's normal. thanks for the comment
@@georgeauto Not bad 😁 Great stuff 👍🏽
Do you know if it possible to get an ZF 6SP OEM reflash at a tuners shop ? I had my ZF box rebuilt (the box had not failed but I wanted it freshened up) by a Transmission Builder and they flashed it with their tune version and its not good. I would like to go back to the original tune.
ZF in Sydney said they can do it by sending in the Mechatronics unit and a photo of the VIN number so that involves a few weeks without a vehicle.
Yes it sure can , I’ve had mine tuned Via PCM tec and it’s holding up great
Funny thing I was going to buy this for my mother seen it though nothing but a death trap I’m my opinion it wasn’t even worth what he was asking for it he was better off selling parting it out good on ya George at least we know this is going to get the love it needs can’t wait to see this finished will be a beautiful car
Wow no way , so the exact car ? Yeah I had no idea how bad it was till we looked closer , everything is fixable with the right amount of effort and money though
5:07 this thing was neglected 😂
Yeah bad
Spot on mate love you guys are bringing it back from the dead perfect family cruiser 😀👌
Thanks Jason ! Appreciate a positive comment
I have a TURBO Terry and noticed my boost solenoid was missing was well, No idea if it's a common thing, regardless, good car but an expensive daily
Yeah I guess it would be, it’s apparently dangerous for engine
@@georgeauto It was weird, Despite there still being a hose connected to the turbo and wastegate, I was still experiencing what we thought was boost cut, LONG story short, it was oddly fuel cut and the car pulling the absolute timing out of itself to save itself. all sorted and tuned now at least :)
Buy the nolathane front diff bushes they are a two piece bush (people will hate on them but we have had ours in for 2 years no issues) took me about 4 hours to do, cut the old bush out and the nolathane slip in from the front and rear and the bolt pulls them together, if you can do the rear bushes you can do the front diff bushes
I did see a video of a guy doing that but I think he's put them in the wrong way, to do it property the whole thing has to come out, I had a whole heap of other stuff changed also, including drive shafts, engine mounts, and the syii conversion, thanks for your comment
you sir.... just showed me a vic loophole :D i can now OWN a 4L Turbo Barra on my P's and can tune it ;D
Let’s goooo !! Haha
Congratulations on the "baby" bro good luck with the project
Thank you so much mate !
I’ve always low key wanted one of these things, awesome video mate as always 💪💪
Thanks mate, maybe one day get one to thrash around, maybe LS swap haha
you and your son saved that car mate and that's a good thing
Thank you ! Still a little bit of work to go but hopefully home stretch now
Love the content man, keep it up!
Thanks, will do! appreciate your comment
Awesome ! Good work mate congratulations on the baby to
Thank you so much 😀
Bro I did exactly the same thing as you and even used Travis (One Stop) to sort all my RWC items. Mine is one the road but a work in progress just like yours.
awesome man ! Trav did a really good job super happy with it
For insurance you should get the 7 seat ugrade approved . It is generally no problem as it is a factory option.
Ok thanks for the info I’ll keep it in mine
Love it I just bought a 2014 sz Barra 2wd do u think it would be hard to turbo like maybe a gf turbo set up on it
Fg
I’m not sure about the SZ version I don’t think I’ve seen it done before but I guess with the right setup I couldn’t see how it wouldn’t work , might be pricey though doing it properly and reliably
@@georgeauto yeah I was thinking that cheers bud love the channel
The rods on a silvertop Barra will break straight away with any decent boost. Green tops from mid BF onwards have strongers rods - at least as strong as the Turbo Redtop, and better higher compression to boot.
KIa Carnival for $70k v Territory Ghia Turbo on the road for maybe $12k (assuming future work). That's a big saving
yeah completely different cars though, kia obviously brand new etc, 7 year warranty. Territory fuel guzzler, problems lol
Love it mate can't wait for more eps !
More to come! Thanks for your comment
Haha i reckon i would have been shopping around the same time 😂 the ghia turbo market is fucked i ended up going a new Hyundai family car due to the over priced market. Even the over priced territorys were pretty average
Oh really did you see this one go up ? Guessing you’re one of the people that saved it ?
@@georgeauto i didnt see it in person but i did inquire about it. Im in brisbane but that white one from the gold coast the sy2 i went and looked at there were a lot of unknowns with it for the price missing logbooks but they had a heap of receipts for random work done on the head suspect it might of been over heated at some point but was really clean. Also checked 2 black ones out in Melbourne
Awesome father and son project! It’s going to be a great family car
Thankyou yes exactly !
I am surprised the seller asked for a deposit for a cheap car like this. Good luck with the rebuild, mate!
with the amount of interest in it yes I had to
Great job bringing it back to life keep up the great work
Thanks for the comment D Rob! hopefully on the home stretch now
I be worried about insurance with the extra seats you might not be covered
Yeah that could be an issue
shoudla bought a HOLDEN mate...
Nah, these turbo terrys are sick, would be a cool family car thats for sure!
Haha thanks mate I have a VL if that counts it’s got more issues then this thing , yeah bit more work to go on this one b thanks for your comment
My dad owned that fg you bought from new, till selling it in 2017. Can’t believe it’s in your hands haha
Oh no way be the silver one or the blue one ?
@@georgeauto silver man
Reminds me of my VL when i first got it, lot of work but worth it
It is! and the quality time with the son is good too! did you check out my VL videos ?
@@georgeauto Sure did mate! I first subscribed to you when you first got the VL, as i was building mine at the same time and needed inspiration from ya 🙌🏽💯👍🏽
Hey mate, which thinners did you use to get the spray paint off? Trying to get pray paint off my rims as well, but haven't found one that works. Seems like it's been on there for years, but has recently chipped off pretty easily driving on dirt roads.
I just used general purpose that I had laying around took off the spray paint but left the OG paint on there , id do a little test patch in a no so visible area first to see how it goes as it might take the OG paint off too
@@georgeauto any chance you have the product name? Tried a few thinners from Bunnings but none of them worked great. Thinking of paint stripper but not sure how it would react with the original powder coating underneath.
@@henrysevtsenko1601 pretty sure the one I used was "concept paint" brand from autObarn
@@georgeauto cheers George! I'll give it a go
Sad to see there are so many who Hate people to take advantage of them!
Not sure what that means
YES TRAVIS AT ONE STOP BUSH SHOP IS GREAT DID MY FG DRIVES LIKE A DREAM, YOU HAVE DONE WELL WITH THE SHIT YOU HAD 👌
Thanks mate ! Yes travis recommended I wreck it out but I obviously didn’t go that road and trying to fix this thing up again
Lucky you knew what you where doing. 😎👌
Yeah well I didn’t really know just found some info online and winging it as I go
insane how they could try and sell such a dangerous vehicle with so many essentual things missing
Yeah I know man.. pretty sure the dude had no choice, a bit more honesty would have been good
A lot off people don’t know if go to ford some parts where recalled & where free to replace & because my mother had 2004 Ford territory TX with duel fuel & had it for 7 years and gave it to a friend recently last year bought a rav4
thank you for that
The front part you showed that part was replaced bye ford because it never had the recall parts put on it
ok thanks for that are you talking about the SYii upgrade I did ?
Well done George. That's a killer could you say "Soccer Mum car"
Not the conventional way to go, but as you say that's car life and I know which I would rather do family trips in compared a Kia Carnival.
Love that Thomas is learning. Should be a killer package with 1000cc and tune.
All the best
Thanks mate that’s a really nice comment, you understand me! Yeah hopefully motors alright when we turn it up , I’ve drove it home doesn’t feel quick at all , but drive fine normally
@@georgeauto It’s a car guy thing. Super comfy plush and power to boot.
They aren’t quick out of the box, but you have a good base to challenge a few of your ever growing ford fleet.
bruh that baby aint yours hahaha
DNA test tomorrow
I was going to buy this, the cluster has been swapped. It originally has well over 360xxx I was speaking to a bloke that brought it new in Victoria. I wasn't paying the 3k wanted.
oh shit haha , that's not good
@@georgeauto it was sold to a bloke on the north side of Brisbane, a sketchy bloke. On the plus side, the bloke that originally had it up, said the motor was rebuilt. Just shady about the cluster swap.
Not sure if it's actually a genuine TTG. I say this due to the front seat bolsters looking rather small and I'm 99% sure all TTG came out standard with 7 seats. ICC was also finished in piano black and had silver buttons.
I owned one about 6 years ago and it was a great car.
The sticker on the car says engine T , the icc is wrong and the steering wheel too , should have a chunky one but has most of the ghia stuff I’m not 100 either
@@georgeauto 38589 is ttg model number
Lucky the engine and trans seem to be ok, all the other stuff is just noise at the end of the day, no car is ever perfect like you said.
Yes seem ok so far ? I’ve driven it on road maybe 2 hours and feels good to drive
Worth the time you spend with your boy, plus its a Ford. Well done George.
Thankyou yes it is
You are a braver man than me buying that thing. Good luck with it.
thank you im gonna need it
What a heap! No way anybody should’ve paid anymore than $1000 for that.
Clearly you know what you’re talking about
Amazing bro. Good luck with everything.
Thank you so much that’s nice of you to say
Looks like you got yourself a bargain in the end. At least now you know the car inside and out 👍
Thanks yes some people think it was a rip but hopefully we can get it back to a neat cruiser again
We own two TTG 06 and 08. Well worth it to sleep some cars
Amazing ! Thanks for your comment
Great to watch, inspiring 🤙🏼
Thanks Jason
I had to go a 7 seater...... I had a 09 VE SS cammed etc about 550hp at engine. It was a tough call, I tried like lots of 4wd's etc.... I did try the majority of territories but not a turbo one as they were too old......... ended up with a 2017 toyota kluger.... similar power to the v6 commodores etc. I'd seen them around the place and knew they weren't too bad speed wise around town. Don't reget my choice, I mean 7 seats and alot of power...... seems a lil dangerous, fine in a straight line but anything other then that....
sad to hear about the SS though its amazing the you made the sacrifice for the family first. im not gonna be going stupid with this thing its a brick though the air weighing nearly 2t its not that fast
@@georgeauto hows this I just had a B of a time pulling apart my kluger to change a rear wheel bearing (did some offroading over Christmas), the axle nut sucked balls to get off....... finally get it off etc. Take out the bearing (hub assembly).. and boom the new ones splines too big for the CV.... I got it off ebay was listed as the right part for my model and year..... FARK lol. Now I gotta put it back together for nothing. SUCKS SO BAD lol
“Bad on fuel” they fucken guzzel
oh great looking forward to this then lol
This is hilarious. Why would you pay $5500 for this? 😂 another auction special.
Link me to a better deal ?
