I still haven't watched all of this video, but i'd just like to give a big heartfelt cheers to you guys for the oodles of information and tips you provide. I haven't started modifying or building cars myself, yet, but i do very much appreciate all of the great information you guys provide. I've watched pretty much all of your build series and i'm just trying to absorb as much as possible of the info and wisdom, mostly because i love learning about mechanical and electronic stuff, but also because i want to start modifying and building cars myself. I didn't really know i wanted to put the information into practice until the last couple of builds, but the more i watch, the more i want to try it myself! I do have a fair bit of theoretical knowledge, especially about the mechanical systems of engines, fuel injection, electronics, hydraulics and HVAC, it's just that i have very little actual hands-on mechanical skills. I need to learn how to weld, for example =D I have changed a timing belt, a heater core, diagnosed and fixed electrical issues and the like... Yeah, just thanks you guys! I didn't mean to write a novel, so SKÅL (cheers in swedish)
More than 35 years turning wrenches for a living .I will give one bit of advice start with a honda the build will go much smoother and cheaper , a 400 hp honda is a affordable shopping list from reality and a great way to get time under your belt with success. Not to mention the great community support so when you screw up . Until you have bashed/skinned every knuckle , burnt every finger , had hot weld slag in your underpants, had bits drilled out of your eyes will you know if you really like building cars. Working under pressure to get things done on time for a paycheque is no fun and what ever budget you set add 25% for all the little things you didn't account for on your first home build . One last thing you never stop learning so get stuck in and start learning . SKA'L.
Good advice P, I have been a mechanic for 32 years. Don't get caught up in the " I need a 500 -600 hp street car or no -one will like it mentality", this is only a competition car NOT a street car, that's why the boys have not mentioned having the vehicle engineered by a qualified professional or mod plates for Queensland Transport . Build yourself a nice streeter that you can enjoy and learn along the way.

I know its a long time ago, but loved this series Defo one of the best channels on you tube. Bloody impressive numbers on the dyno to. Cheers for the entertainment!
Legends, joined the subscriber crew at the start of this build, and have absolutely loved following along each week and have learned so much. Keep up the great work, and looking forward to the next project!
That 2jz should go in a badass time attack car with aero, sponsored by the skid factory and nugget garage. A joint chuch build. Grats on the finished build.
Al getting 'stressed'...Not good for Al but we have benefitted from this series. Kudos to 'Turbo Yoda' and Woody for cracking through this build. Subbed to Nugget Garage so won't miss any other stuff...Just cracked open some 'lemon squashes' here...
I reckon what that Torana needs is a bit of added rigidity, so you avoid F&F style injuries like the chassis twisting coming off the line ;) Good to see her done though, should be a bloody fast thing to go to the shops in!
Was half expecting one of Al's Nurries to flop out of them stubbie shorts on the lean back in the chair 🤣🤣 Straight up 80s styling, but with brighter colours
Awesome build! =) It was fun to follow, although I've surmised it was more work than you thought! Anyway, it's fun to follow along and get SOME sense of what it takes to do a real "restomod" build on a car. I mean it took you guys a fair bit more time than you thought, so, what, quadruple, quintuple that? No that's not enough. I reckon (see, i'm trying to speak aussie to maybe make you read this =) a build like this might take someone who can turn a wrench, weld and knows his way around a multimeter ten times the time you guys did it in? And yes, that's assuming quick access to the parts and tools required. So as a d-i-y, maybe on a simpler conversion, like where there's already another bigger engine that fits in the car already, a year to get it right? By that i mean working alone and getting most of it right. Like the first step beyond installing coil-overs and a fart-can =D

ONE MORE THING, BE PREPAIRED TO BE BROKE MOST OF THE TIME AS 70 % OF YOUR INCOME WILL GO TO PARTS ONCE YOUR HOOKED.

Always love it when you guys head to see the hoff and Wendy my 2 favourite channels together 😁😁😁
Whats their channel called
AHHHHHHH Yeahhhh!!!! Skid Factory and Nugget Garage in the same episode. What could be better!
haven MCM join along
watching and loveing the work you guys are doing i hope to see more shows dont stop
"Lee, what colour are your shorts?" Lee: "Front or back?"
"It's very loud."
"WAAT?"
"It's very loud."
" YEEEEE."
Exactly what I wanted to comment now. So epic...
You guys Rocked. Thanks for sharing the build..And supporting the community. Props.
My OCD says "Fix the damn tail light" 🤣🤣🤣
Tail lights probably the reason it got the turbo 1J, atleast that's what happens to Finnegan lol
All LJ's had one tail light unlit...
Thats just factory Holden Torana isnt it lol
The truck driver in me says the same thing. LOL 😂
Yeah the patrol!!! Keen as a bean!!!
"We already got the regret" LOL!!!!!
I’ve never bought it sober.
Every time 🤣
haha so true
KFC Kicker....🤣
I know its a long time ago, but loved this series Defo one of the best channels on you tube. Bloody impressive numbers on the dyno to. Cheers for the entertainment!
LOL OMG those shorts are only second to the leather rocker outfit Al had on for his birthday on that one MCM episode.
Legends, joined the subscriber crew at the start of this build, and have absolutely loved following along each week and have learned so much. Keep up the great work, and looking forward to the next project!
Al’s left arm is kinda hypnotic 😆 makes you believe it’s big. Great build lads. Looking forward to seeing more. Legends.
cummins patrol is finaly happening, im so stoked for the build. hope for some Rich (deboss) colab again.
Finally get to see that illusive tattoo on Al's arm lol. Good job fellas. Kinda sad though as i really enjoyed watching this build.
The end of this mystery for me was still better than GOT: Season 8
I do believe it used to be a Pedobear tat, and he got it 'fixed'.
I thought it was a Peugeot Logo all this time...
A smile on my face straight away with the shorts
You guys should refer to Nugget Garage as "The Hoffpital"...
Loved this build! Looking forward to the next build
19:30 - Al in that pose, completely reminds me of that funny guy from Hangover!!😂😂
Wow the paint is so mint!
.. totally the best Aussie spanner channel on RUclips ... good work guys 👍🍺
Brilliant work guys, congrats! That Rolla sounds nice might have to pop over to Nugget Garage and have a gander.
thanks for the journey fellas a job well done it must make you warm and fuzzy inside when builds like this are finished
Matching hats - that Al and Woody is wearing in this video !!!!!
What a bucket hat. What a mad merch collection
I have watched every video of you guys and this is by far the best. AMAZING RESULT!! Great build and tune. On yah boys
When is the " We have a Woody" t shirt coming out :-) .
RB30det PATROL!! Would love to see the build but you did say zd30 so perhaps the ls conversion. LOVE MY 4bys Cannot wait!!!
Excellent build, old car with new tech. 👍🏻
Al in a bucket hat is soo good! reminds me of the Big Lez movie ahhaha. i imagine its his big sesh hat
The blue shorts! A fitting tribute.
Unreal fellas didn’t miss a episode! Can’t wait for the patrol series
That 2jz should go in a badass time attack car with aero, sponsored by the skid factory and nugget garage. A joint chuch build. Grats on the finished build.
Great series boys, love your work 👌🏼
Just received my order in the mail all the way in Melbourne. . Stuff is awesome. Thanks heaps. Wish I'd got the bucket hat too now but LOL.
Just loving the synwave
Matching blue shorts, looking good boys
Al getting 'stressed'...Not good for Al but we have benefitted from this series. Kudos to 'Turbo Yoda' and Woody for cracking through this build. Subbed to Nugget Garage so won't miss any other stuff...Just cracked open some 'lemon squashes' here...
The final tune episodes are my favourites for some reason. Maybe its the finality of it, or the suspense of the numbers, but they are cool.
Awesome series guys! Great work :)
Aside from the exhaust note, love it.
Not a chuch, I listened to you Woody and Nugget Garage do gnarly stuff, it's epic !
Awesome build guys! Love your work.
Killer build series boys.
Hope too see the crown get finished one of these days. 👌🏼
I know it’s been a prick of a build but this has been my favourite build to watch so far, solid effort boys can’t wait to see the next one.
mint end to an epic build lads an nice skid woody dude
Yesss! Keen for the Patrol
Zing on Blokes!
Al looks like sassy wearing the bucket hat on choomah island
Whatyatalkinabout!
It's got googly eyes on it!
Nice matching shorts!!
Dam that sounds incredible
I didn’t know Aus had “Black shirt blue shorts” day.
Hard Yakka Day, it's called.
last 20sec were music to my ears!
Absolute legends, i wanna fly to Oz and get out with you guys on the enduro bikes 👊🏼✊🏼😃
one great sleeper car,sounds quiet,for all that hp wow how many pink slips could you win back in the day
They level the audio so it doesn't wreck peoples ears watching the video.
Scary little rocket ship. Very jealous, should be fun.
Epic journey guys! Can’t wait for the next one
ZING ON may the boost be with you bloke 👑
When are the blue short shorts going up for sale on the website?
You boys are awesome!!
Wrap ups are pretty fucking good, love them.
I reckon what that Torana needs is a bit of added rigidity, so you avoid F&F style injuries like the chassis twisting coming off the line ;)
Good to see her done though, should be a bloody fast thing to go to the shops in!
You guys earned the Lemon Squash on this build !
Exhaust sounds good :)
Need to see some on board ride alongs !
Was half expecting one of Al's Nurries to flop out of them stubbie shorts on the lean back in the chair 🤣🤣
Straight up 80s styling, but with brighter colours
"I used to wonder if Skid Factory were crazy, but now I can see their nuts"
Seeing Wendy in *those* shorts makes me feel funny in *my* shorts
11:44 just noticed a few 'weight reduction' missing hex heads that should be holding the steering wheel on...
love a good pair of fun boy shorts
thank you for detail
all blue short
Well done boys 🤙
Finally can see the ink!
I’m so excited to watch this thank you
Thank you
Zing on boys solid build the colonel approves
Can hardly wait to see that little car at the track! Great job gents.
Love 4wd's, and would be kick ass to see a 4x4 Hilux with a turbo kit. 😁
Zinger box and matching shorts for days :)
Awesome guys, I gotta get a set of shorts like that
What's an IQ7? :p
😂😂 I was hoping no one would notice 🤫
Called out 🤣
It's my hat size but that's not important right
I finally get my hands on an Iron Lion shirt !!!!!
BEST WEDNESDAY EVER !!!
It may not be practical, or the easiest conversion, but hot dayum, boys that's a sweet sweet ride. Well done for not chucking it in the bin hahaha
Hope the next build is something unusual, sort of like how they did the NA AW11, it was cool to see the variety
This episode was sponsored by wave zone shorts, the shorts ya need when ya after speed.😜🤪😜🤪
Glad to see Wendy's pins make another appearance 👌
It's time for The Skid Factory boys to build a rotary :P
570hp damn that will be awsome power to weight ratio!
Awsome boys... watched every episode.... bit late today? I took the afternoon off work for this one
That 60fps goodness
Looks like a lowes add, nice blue shorts boys 8-)
Kevin & Perry do a massive skid
rice da world great series men!
All about the blue shorts and lemons squash 😎

Noice shed skid Woody!
Has this been flagged for mature content? THE LEGGGSSSS.
We approve of the Bear tattoo.
Thanks for starting a youtoob channel it’s more interesting than a heap of other shit on here!
Good motivation to get stuck into a Reno yous are the goods 😂I just need to find a vehicle to work on.
G0 Soddy n the sheddy. Guys you need to find an old eh 64 special wagon would be awesome to see what you could do with that.
