Hey Ross about your centre Bearing I've done a few mark both sides with a marker once that is done can cepretate the shafts pull the bearing then put the new one on long as your marks you have had at the start line up your good to go I hope that helps saves yourself abit of money to put elsewhere in the build loving the rig by the way
Original chrome badges back on. Bigger chrome exhaust tips. Custom number plates with a unique memorable name. Looking forward to seeing the new interior.
You really invested into the Holden UTE. It shows. i am glad to know you got the starter issue resolved. This has been an interesting journey watching the transformation.
@@RossReviewsau It will be interesting to see what else will take place and happen. Looking forward to the video and seeing more Holden on your channel. I am beginning to understand just how big Holden was or is to Australia and New Zealand. I am observing from a United States perspective.
It’s looking so good / just needs a bonnet bulge and a pro charger on there / you could probably take the hood off a Monaro gts and put it on there it’s the same front end basically
Jonno loving the look of the VZ. Looks mint! Come back and see me when you’re in Melbourne would be cool to get some pic of both our cars together! Plus we definitely need to do some skids side by side 😂😂😂 let me know when your in town would be great to catch up. Cheers
Love the Vehicle. My brother bought a manual VZ ute in white the previous owner did a turbo kit on the alloytech. Hence why he bought it. I love both ford and Holden. More so Holden but anything Aussie is good. I've inherited my dad's Ford Falcon XY ute in spring frost paint colour. Old six 250. I'm gonna do it up as my daily.
was literally about to type i hope you are going to BNB leather for your interior and i skip through and see the sticker on the window lol . i love my interior looks as new as the day i got it over a year ago! fantastic team down there @bnb
*I know Martini wrapped it, but it would look so much better without that sticker on the side. Its as bad as the'Monstr' one that was on it. Maybe just a little Martini sticker on the back window, the side one is no good. Just my opinion though. Your car, your choices.*
just picked up a ss ute in similar shape for similar price, about to do similar mods :) have you thought about putting all the ute build vids into a playlist?
Should delete the exhaust tips and dump them down behind the rear tires then get the holes plastic welded up. And also i think your brake disks are on the wrong sides they are spinning the wrong way
replaced my starter on my VZ 3 times it gets cooked by the headers, can usually tell when its on the way out when engine is hot and really struggles to start
@@RossReviewsau if you’ve got time you should Cruze down to geelong. Have a Squizz at the ford factory. And a few of the cars in the area. Unfortunately we don’t keep nice cars as nice as Melbourne Queensland or Sydney
Sunroof addon is a nice flex 💪 ute is coming along nice tho man 😁 actually don't mind the badgeless back. The exhaust tips do the talking back there but yeah I actually really like the big single tip on vz's but that's me 😅
I'm just an hour north of Melbourne. Just wondering if you could or anyone here recommend someone to rewrap or purchase a steering wheel? I have a VZ SSZ ute 2005. Cheers fellas and ladies.
looks so damm clean and the colour POPS but its such a shame it has to have the company who did the wrap on the side of the car ,jeez couldnt you just pay the man retail and have one colour instead of being a rolling advertisment ,no offence to the fella who did the job its sweet but you know what i mean
@@RossReviewsauBut it still looks crap with that down the side. A sticker on the back window should be enough. A real friend would understand. Your car though bro. You do you.
Changing starter with pacey headers is a bitch as the boys say.. Gotta take headers off, plugs out, sometimes move steering rack back a bit. Oh and debadged for the win
Honestly I reckon having just the thunder badges on either side and just the SS on the back, would look hot brutha 🤙🏻🤙🏻 Been watching since you had like 2k subs and I love your content man, keep chugging broski 🤘🏻
Just Commodore things😂. The body looks fucking awesome Ross but we all know the rest of the car is a big pile of Holden shit! The only thing Holden was good at was borrowing motors from other companies
Badges for sure, rep the holden era
I got them ready to go
100% mate.
I say put the badges back on
Ok another vote 🗳️ seems like it’s gonna happen 😅
Definitely put badges on
Starting that car reminds me of the 80's 90's👍🇦🇺🍻
🤣🤣🤣 couple cranks eh
New banner's looking good 😉🔥
Thanks 🔥👀
What a hot looking Ute Mate. I can’t wait to see what the next 6 months brings for this Ute. Can’t wait for the next update.

Hey Johnny....the beast is coming along nicely....the car has come so far from when you got it...tastefully done....❤
Cheers mark
Normally no badges looks best but being a Thunder I'd probably put just those on
Ok cheers for the vote bro
Second that, just the thunder.. same same but sets it apart from just an SS
Original chrome badges back on. Bigger chrome exhaust tips. Custom number plates with a unique memorable name. Looking forward to seeing the new interior.
Good call!
Black badges, will suit the dark tint an will look better on top of the candy wrap

Cheers brother.. definitely been a journey and still got more to do!

It’s always a good day when Ross Reviews uploads a video of his Ute 💪
Appreciate it brother
The Ross reviews banner looks really good !!!
Thanks! Glad people can see me now
Sad the replacement 'E' didn't go back on in the right spot after the original got torn

No Badges Bro looks nice in clean.
Appreciate it
With those white walls maybe consider some classic decals and badges? EBay should have some.
Led Headlightss, Led Interior upgrade is definitely worth it, as well as installing (Bluetooth Wireless)
She’s got Bluetooth and a sub already 😮💨
Nice its good when you know what you have done to it
Absolutely
Sometimes just locking it and unlocking with the key fob will start it when it starts and dies straight away.my vy ss ute does the same
True.. just commodore things eh
Put dump pipes on look awesome 👌
Might change them I’m kinda not liking the small ones 😭
Love the Vehicle.

Wish I had manual
One hell of an improvement you should be proud of yourself Johnny mate 👏 also badges on man 👍
Thanks I’m very happy with it
Love the dedication mate 🤙
Thanks mate
yeah starter motor is close to the headers and the larger they are less room you have
They got it sorted anyway
Put all proper badges on, definitely Holden & SS badges
Will be
was literally about to type i hope you are going to BNB leather for your interior and i skip through and see the sticker on the window lol . i love my interior looks as new as the day i got it over a year ago! fantastic team down there @bnb
I can’t wait to see the Ute after they have it!
Black Holden and SS badges would be sweet as.
Reduction gear or standard starter ?
maybe it's my own taste, but chrome window trim would look kinda cool. They did that on the VE-VF SSV Redlines anyway.
Could be interesting eh
Looking awesome! 😎 I cant find the link for the vinal workshop guys.
On Insta Martini motorstyling
Awesome, cheers mate. Hi from nz 😊@@RossReviewsau
What a bloody weapon Johnathan. You’ve took her to the next level
Appreciate it
I’d be replacing the crank sensor, just had this issue on my vz ss sedan

Agreed, the tailgate hinges unwrapped (understandably) let's it down to a degree also
Some black badges might help tie it together a little
Additionally, rear infill panel and centre the numberplate, ditch the tow bar
just picked up a ss ute in similar shape for similar price, about to do similar mods :) have you thought about putting all the ute build vids into a playlist?
I’ll do that.. nice work on scoring a Ute
Looking good bro nice Choices on the upgrades cool man Vz Glenn 🏎👍
Thanks 👍
Get well soon Ross
Thanks
Who did your custom steeing wheel mate? Looks goood.
It’s from kahan
I have a VY SS in red myself. I definitely prefer the no badge look tbh, might take mine off tomorrow 😂
Fair enough!
Put them back on now !
As long as you dont put a chevy badge on it ill be happy
Don’t worry he hates Chevy badges on holdens
Never a Chevy badge lol
Bnb leather and the car is done bro 🎉
Gonna look unreal then
it needs ss badges otherwise looks like a base model ute to the average joe
I’ll get them back on
Ute looks great. What exhaust do you have on the car?
It’s a manta system with pacemakers headers
Big the pacemakers do make getting to the starter an issue.. I spent ages trying to wire mine up
True they got it done already
nice
great sound , its appetizing
Thank you 😋
You gotta do a carmeet in melbs man that would be awesome
That’s the plan a car meet in every city going up to Brisbane
@@RossReviewsau gptta let me know the details i’ll be there with my boosted v6 👍
Need those Ross Reviews custom plates brother!💥
I do need them eh🙃
@@RossReviewsau Got anything in mind yet ?
Need ROSSDBOSS plates
Bro get rid of tow bar please it looks pox!!Overall looks really tuff good job!!👍🏻👍🏻
Your the most Aussie non Aussie😅 love your videos man
😅
Appreciate you mate 🇦🇺🤌
@@RossReviewsau And the little fella spotting the HSV as he rolls by on the scooter!
A real chip off the ol' block ay!
great vid, adding a vz calais chrome bonnet strip to it would look mint
I’ll have to have a look at that
Yeah Nah.
Should delete the exhaust tips and dump them down behind the rear tires then get the holes plastic welded up. And also i think your brake disks are on the wrong sides they are spinning the wrong way
? Really I could have messed that up 🤣
fk yeah
No badges looks clean.
But each to there own bro. Looking and sounding mint. Been loving the videos! Keep them up
Appreciate it!!
Starters are easy as to do on those with the headers, also sounds like more than a starter issue, sounds like a fuel pressure issue or maybe bad tune?
Seems to fire up fine now
@@RossReviewsau well send it lol , it’s looking sick btw
Should come to Qld to some reviews on cars over here there are some real tuf f cars in Qld
I’ll be driving their soon
replaced my starter on my VZ 3 times it gets cooked by the headers, can usually tell when its on the way out when engine is hot and really struggles to start
Mine took forever to turn over 😅
When are you coming to Melbourne and what’s the plan
Waiting on something personal.. but should be next month
@@RossReviewsau ah so not a car meet or reviews
@@RossReviewsau if you’ve got time you should Cruze down to geelong. Have a Squizz at the ford factory. And a few of the cars in the area. Unfortunately we don’t keep nice cars as nice as Melbourne Queensland or Sydney
The very first video of this VY SS when you bought it, could tell the starter was in the way out
Yeh needed replacing
Gloss black badges would look mint
Could leave the Holden badge but id personaly put ss and the thunder ones on
Ok another vote for badges
Did you run it on the dyno while at tuffs?
Not yet😂 I’m keen to tho
Thunder badges for sure 👌
Coming soon
Sunroof addon is a nice flex 💪 ute is coming along nice tho man 😁 actually don't mind the badgeless back. The exhaust tips do the talking back there but yeah I actually really like the big single tip on vz's but that's me 😅
Just wanted chrome eh🥲 but a bit bigger would have been nice
Ross and his aussie accent coming through is fucking brilliant.
🇦🇺 let’s go
If you're gunna go badges, bro. go blacked out and just the SS and holden badges. Would look tuff
I’ll think about it
Yea badges back on!!. looks tuff though!!.
Noted
Just the Holden badge mate. it has such cool clean lines now. please don't spoil it with a lot of badges.
Put badges back on mate vz looks great
Will
Do
Save the huge tips for when u get huge power, those ones still look good
Fair
Utes coming together nicely! Let me know if you wanna sell the red leather, I want a set for my VY SS ute
Thanks mate! I’ll see if I still have em or if the interior show uses them not sure
@@RossReviewsau sweet as bro, let me know if they come back to Perth with you
here in new zealand these cars are making a bit of comeback, i have a 79 vb v8.......would love to see a video on anything vh,vc,vk,vb 🙃
Would love to get one of them.. hard to find here unfortunately
I'm just an hour north of Melbourne. Just wondering if you could or anyone here recommend someone to rewrap or purchase a steering wheel? I have a VZ SSZ ute 2005. Cheers fellas and ladies.
BnB autohaus
How much did the whole wrap cost?
The material was about 1500
Definitely need the ss badging thats a no brainer
Coming soon
Badges for sure
Done
17:09 you should put dump tips on there they look heaps better and there bigger
Might do in the future
Dump tips are gay
looks so damm clean and the colour POPS but its such a shame it has to have the company who did the wrap on the side of the car ,jeez couldnt you just pay the man retail and have one colour instead of being a rolling advertisment ,no offence to the fella who did the job its sweet but you know what i mean

Yeh they got it done thankfully
Yeah, I reckon badges 👍🏻
Done
Old school Camaro SS badge in the centre of the tailgate and leave all the others off and go the racecraft rear cannons. They look and sound great
Should deffo put the thunder badges back on. It'll complement the other chrome bits on the car
Will do
Put the Ss and thunder badges on leave the holden badge off
Badges now 😊
Yup going on
Lookin good 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Matte black badges
I think just chrome tbh
I reckon just ss and holden badges obviously in silver 👌
🤙
Grab two computers why they exist .
Just put the lion badge back on tailgate that’s it
de badge bro
How buddy how can I send you pictures of my car so you can see if it good enough to Go on the channel
In his description he has his instagram and Facebook profile linked just click on one and send him a message
Put a walky 375 package in the ute
My ss has gone thru 3 starters.. due to being destroyed by heat from the headers..
Must be what mine was also
Coming along very well stick the badges back on how long before the new interior
As soon as it’s in Melbourne it’s getting done
Honestly I reckon having just the thunder badges on either side and just the SS on the back, would look hot brutha 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Been watching since you had like 2k subs and I love your content man, keep chugging broski 🤘🏻
Thanks bro.. I’ll play around with the badges n see
Badges back on bro
Done
Badges bro rep that IRON LION
Yep🤌
What state are you in mate?
He’s in WA
Wa
NO BADGES
just put only the SS badge on the back
Cheers for your submission
Just Commodore things😂. The body looks fucking awesome Ross but we all know the rest of the car is a big pile of Holden shit! The only thing Holden was good at was borrowing motors from other companies
Nah bro I love em both ford and Holden for the win
If that was an sv6, you would definitely need to have a tow truck on speed dial .
SS only 😮💨🦁🇦🇺
chrome Holden and ss badges would make it look that much better .
