If I had been made aware of the rust traps at the bottom of doors and the bulkheads under the dash I would have regularly cleaned them out and maybe given them some anti-rust treatment. The bulkheads fill with leaves and dirt and end up as a mini composting enclosure. The leaking bulkheads result in the floor pans rusting away. One thing leads to another.
I love that you read my comment about the 12 slotters and totally ignored my disgust 😂 You went ahead and doubled down and it bit you in the ass 😅 I don’t hate them outright, they look decent on some old Fords. I thought Center Line stopped making Convo Pros but it turns out they released a 2.0 version. I’m a fan of Convo Pros so you have redeemed yourself with that remark. I’ll happily give you the 10/10 now mate 😂 Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺
Haha I bought them as they were literally the cheapest wheels within a 200km radius of my area 😅 Convo pros are definitely on the shopping list, but they are wayyy down that list as the poor girl needs a fair bit of rust repair first 👌
@@bennydoesthings yeah mate, she deserves to be rolling well and safely before rolling in style. I’m here for the journey and I’m looking forward to being here every step of the way you share with us 👍 Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺
I got a HJ 1 tonner sitting around for about 10 years. This video gives me hope.
Even if you chip away at it bit by bit you'll feel accomplished after seeing the progress you can make 💪

Brilliant video mate, another old trooper lives on to fight another day.
That SCA ATF is like paint stripper.
The old 3 speed Traumatic, can't kill 'em with an axe.
never thought I'd enjoy hearing a red motor running so much. nice cubie!
For sitting so long it runs so well! I had an old hj Ute years ago and it had a 202, was the most reliable ol car I'd had
Excellent job, one step closer to being back on the road
your passion is beyond words sir Benny
Thanks 👌 the moment I saw this old girl sitting in my mates farm I knew I had to bring it back, I've always wanted a wagon too
You can’t beat 12 slotters wheels whether they’re on a Holden or a Ford and that patina
you can’t replicate that very hard to that’s awesome
I'm hoping I don't lose too much of the patina when I start cutting rust out
Should add to the patina you’ll be right
Great video mate get them coming you definitely can't beat the old Holdens
Thanks, with the amount of work this old girl needs I think I've got plenty of content to come 😅
That is cool the good old holden she is a runner
Done well wish l still had my HQ 5 lt premier wagon ah well
the old q fired up straight away .
Once it had fuel it just wanted to keep going, I was surprised at how smooth it runs
Great stuff mate

That's awesome! Well done!
Bloody awsome mate
Adjust the lifters if they don't shut up after a while. They are really in need of adjustment.
To be honest, it probably needs an an oil flush and change
Ford Ya nong how could you want to do up a HQ and use ford wheels to move it and wonder why they don't fit, but good luck with getting it fixed up
