Great build man ! I’m keen to see the updates in the shed, I’ve been hoping for a shed tour as my workshop is similar. It’s always good to see how others have set up their sheds n take ideas from it 🤙🏼
Jarrad what can I say........... It has come up Fantastic well done. You should be very proud of your self great job. Thanks for sharing and letting us be a part of the journey. Love the lathe. Don't worry about the engine Biger and better. Cheers Mate.
Great result with the actual car, but it sucks about the timing belt 😢. Your channel is my favourite car content one for sure, keep up the awesome work and I’ll keep watching 🙏
Looks killer man you’ve done well engine is a small hicup but nothing that can’t be sorted Slap a set of 5 litre hubcaps on it and you wouldn’t even know how crazy it is 👌🏽👌🏽
Haha. Yep couple reasons behind that, can’t machine hardened axles, not easily anyway and also can’t grind on the lathe as it will damage the bed. So I’m still stuck cutting some stuff with the grinder haha 👌
Pretty deadly budget build.The black sills make it not look as low. Sucks what happened with the timing, oh well, we live we learn. How's a Capella progress? Looking forward to how you tackle that one. IO, by the way you kesev pano is dope AF!
Cheers, I appreciate it! To be honest I’m glad the black sails make it look higher than it is haha. I’m just gathering parts on the Capella so I’ve got a good head start on it when the time comes. As soon as this next build is done I’ll be on it 💪
I’d be really surprised if it’s bent a valve rb30 are renown to be free runners over the years I’ve had a couple with snapped belts line it all back up and slap a new belt on and away you go
I also thought it wouldn’t have been a problem, I retimed it. Then rechecked it 5 times. Spun it on the starter and could hear it was down on compression (sounds like the spark plugs are out). Re checked timing another 5 times to be sure, comp test. Be lucky if I got 10psi on cyl 1 and called it 😅
I’m just putting it down to shaved head and thin metal head gasket (1.2mm) but until I get the head off I can’t be sure. I didn’t check piston to valve clearance when I assembled it as I didn’t think it would be an issue 😬
Like I said in the video, if they were the same colour grey front and rear I would have went down that route I think. But personally I actually really like black bars.
I’d happily watch an hour of shed talk bro 👍
Loved the vids on her Jarrad. Killed it.
Keep at it we will all watch.
She’s come a long way
I really enjoyed the journey. It came up great. I wanted to see that RB going, maybe later.
Will be going again very soon. I’ll turn it around quickly 💪

Slap a set of 5 litre hubcaps on it and you wouldn’t even know how crazy it is 👌🏽👌🏽
Hub caps have crossed my mind
@@klingbergmotorsport do it haha and to mix it up vl turbo hubcaps 👌🏽
@@jaybancroft2851 😉👌
Looks super tough. Buys lathe still cuts axle with grinder hahaha
Haha. Yep couple reasons behind that, can’t machine hardened axles, not easily anyway and also can’t grind on the lathe as it will damage the bed. So I’m still stuck cutting some stuff with the grinder haha 👌
It will need to have some body work done to it as far as surface rust goes !
Love it 👍
Thank you! Cheers 👍
Great work looks cool and is cool as.
Come up really good mate
Cheers! 👌
Looks awesome bro good stuff! Tough looking vn for sure keep it up. Also you should give us a shed clean up Timelapse for a buzz. I enjoy it anyway 👍🏼
Not a bad idea, might make one as an extra video as I’m not sure how many people will watch it haha
That looks sick!! Thats it I’m looking for another vn to build next
Haha, nice 👌
That looks cool as 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Cheers 👌
So sorry to hear you broke the motor
It’s all good, it happens. We will rebuild 💪
Looks fat mate love the look 👌👌💪💪 unlucky on the engine part we all have those moments haha I know I do 😂
Yep, won’t be my last f&*k up haha
Pretty deadly budget build.The black sills make it not look as low.
Sucks what happened with the timing, oh well, we live we learn.
How's a Capella progress? Looking forward to how you tackle that one. IO, by the way you kesev pano is dope AF!

Shame about the motor but those rear wheels look freaking awesome
Cheers. Yep we will rebuild 💪
Bring on that xc in ur shed :)
I can’t wait to dive in to that! 😁
@@klingbergmotorsport either can i LOVE XC'S
I’d be really surprised if it’s bent a valve rb30 are renown to be free runners over the years I’ve had a couple with snapped belts line it all back up and slap a new belt on and away you go

My mates vl turbo snapped the belt at full noise and did no damage verry unlucky too do that damage at low rpm 😢
I didn’t think it would have. But shaved head and thinner metal head gasket was enough to do it unfortunately 😅
I had the same one owner 89 VN with 80,000 kms sadly wrote it off in 2002 :(
Ah spewin
Hey mate, do you want 3 vn exc door trims? Not great condition, I'm having a shed clean out.
Yes please! I won’t say no haha
black looks yuk grey all round looks nicer
Like I said in the video, if they were the same colour grey front and rear I would have went down that route I think. But personally I actually really like black bars.
