Howdyyawl from the land down under. Nice Qee. The first deal working man's car. We had one, took the caravan to Vic. On gas as well, towed great. Great family car, comfortable, no power steering. Didn't need it. Looks like it's got a bit of Jakdancer on it. Easy fix.thick tin makes it easier. Used to work at GMH Elizabeth.Enjoy. Keeping it real 😊

I was in NSW for work and come across 3 x Holden 1 ton utes and a Bathurst Monaro ! That was the first shed the guy said ! Plenty out there still ! Enjoy the videos ! Cheers from NZ !
They are about mate just gotta keep ya eyes open. Haha🍺👍
Watching you work on the 202 took me back nearly 50 years.
I have basic mechanic skills and I was able to work on those motors.
I could climb inside and beside the motors.
They were thirsty otgerwise big reliable comfy cars. Great country cars, that handled rough tracks gravel and fire breaks.
I had 2 HQs....a sedan and a flat top ute with a 173 motor. My dog used to snap at low branches and fall off the back driving in the bush.
Currently have an Adventra, for 13 years. Went to fix the thermostat and it wasn't by the water pump but barely accessible at the back of the motor.
5 minute job on a 202.
Mate I know what your saying ! They were easy back then.
Cheers for the comment and keep watching these heaps more coming
Love your working and describing as you go through all the issues you come across. Great info for the new young fellas. Good to see your son helping you as it’s a good learning curve for him. Cheers bro
Cheers Colin 👍🍺
Keep it coming. Huge Hq fan having had a lovely 4 door I built with a 5 litre, turbo 400 box and discs all round. Then there was the 2 dr hq monaro that if I had a crystal ball I would of kept. 327 chev, fuelie heads, 4 spd manual, v5 simmons, top car and sold it in 2001 for $6000. Bugger.
Mate I hear ya ! Hide-sight is a wonderful thing . Thanks for watching Michael
This is the best car related video ive ever watched, so good & thanks for keeping the old lions roaring 😎👍
Thanks mate I appreciate ya saying , have you watched some of our other videos too??
@backshed5295 I'm going through all of them slowly, the one where you were walking around the wrecking yard looking at all the AU's etc was funny cause of how excited you got haha.
(I'm a Holden man & have owned VL's & VK's) but this video with the HQ was just awesome 👌 I'm upto the video where you have got yourself the HQ wagon. Keep up the great content 👏
Cheers mate I’m pleased your enjoying them , please share them with your car friends 🍺👍

Swapping that smokie motor out !
@@backshed5295 look forward to seeing more of your projects
She’s a good honest car with many drooling over the opportunity to give her a home. Wish you well. Loved the content
Thanks Tim
I appreciate the great comment and yep she ain’t perfect but honest solid car she is.
This could easily have been 4 episodes. You sure did pack a lot into one video. That is one gorgeous old HQ. Nice job.
Thanks mate I hope you enjoyed it . I like shows that start with a with junk and get a result by the end that’s cool and that’s what I’m trying to give with this one.
Thanks for watching Ozmike 🍺👍and thanks for a top comment.
ive never seen a HQ radio like that , nice work on the old girl !!
Thanks mate.
Google Air Chief radio
Really cool vid bro 👍
As a HQ 202 owner I learnt alot just watching you work, the time-lapse had me frantically trying to keep up 🤣.
Thanks for saving another HQ.....subscribed 👍
Engine swap video to fix the smokie 202 will be up shortly. If you have questions mate Backshedmick on Instagram or Backshed on Facebook
Factory rubber boot liner. Rare as hens teeth! Brings a tear to my eye, I really miss my HQ.
🍺👍
Super Cool and just shows they are out there. Bit of elbow grease and some spit n polish bam a super cool 70's cruzer 🤙
Thanks mate
Yep I reckon is pretty cool too
Cheers Mick greatly appreciated
Not a drama Pappa
👍🍺
Great to see another Quey back on the road, loved the transformation...keep sharing man, Keep up the good work.
Thanks mate.
Tip for tip.
My old boy was a Mechanic, and he told me never to give this axle tip away.
That soldering iron tip,
That's pure gold.
Tip 1, PCV on any Holden if it sticks to your finger and won't let go while running, it will idle properly then.
$12 from memory.
Tip 2, an axle that doesn't want to come out.
Big block chain under a tight wheel nut, and a couple of man tugs....
DISCLAIMER !!!!!!!!
Leave backing plate bolts on at the end of their threads boys, and don't use 2 chains shackled together with a pad lock.
What state do you live in Mick ?
Keep up the Great work.
1 last tip.
XW & XY longitudinal steering arms are different.
Bought an expensive XW part from wreckers to replace a bent XY part.
Wreckers wouldn't take it back.
But it wasn't my car so I didn't take the hair cut.
Shed Skid...
who said that. = ]
.
2:39. That bird was timed perfectly 😆
.
Good luck with those Holden's mate.my brother had a brown hq years ago.
Cheers thanks mate
Great to see this. Love seeing old cars brought to life. Just a tip for future video productions. Try and keep the audio levels constant throughout the mix. The music on this was way up compared to your narrating volume. It makes for a far more enjoyable watching experience when viewers are not having to constantly adjust the audio levels. All the very best for the future.😀
Hey thanks Collick100
My editing program is showing the same db on both but I’ve had that comment twice now. I just watched it on the tv and it seemed fine but I’ll watch it back on a phone and iPad to see if there a difference. Please everyone comment if your finding this as I’m asking to improve it not as a smart arse response. Cheers for watching
@@backshed5295 yeah, music was a tad loud, but good video 👍
Great Video Man, just too much time lapse for me.
But hey its your production its up to you.
Otherwise a great job getting the HQ back on the road.
These cars were everywhere here in NZ like Cortinas they just disappeared with th introduction of Japanese imports
I'm not into Patina or what-ever bollocks it's called these Days, I like Paint & plenty of it, with no Rust. Now, you did a good job with that HQ, I used to do what you do, but in the UK. I used to buy them from a Salvage Yard I used to work at & I enjoyed it to bring a Classic back to life. Good job Mick 👍
Yeah John I hear ya . We will be paint 1 soon mate .
I like them all mate , nice paint, survivor paint , patina or rat Rod as long as their running and driving!
Cheers again for watching mate
🍺🍺👍
Nice, im a pommie living in Thailand, bought an hq kingswood 74 , in the process of doing some restorations, its also white, and someone has put black monaro stripes on its not got an origanal, has a 2.7 Isuzu engine diesel, but will at some point put a 350 chevy v8 small block in it, love the videos.
Diesel Isuzu that different but still cool.
Thanks for watching mate it’s great to see people from other countries seeing our stuff
Cheers Carl 🍺🍺🍺👍
With the mucus one try oven cleaner on the stripes. It may lift them off if they’ve been painted on with a rattle can.
Great vid. Well done. I’ve only recently discovered your channel but am enjoying it.
Thanks mate , yeah I’m only new to it ( 10 weeks-ish) but it’s fun so far.
Thanks for the vid mate I'm doing a HQ 202 kingswood sedan now just struggling for space undercover but you have helped me keep focused and showed a few tricks I didn't know keep saving the old cars .
Cheers mate all the best on the project.
This is the sort of content I jump on utube for👍 great work m8 im hitting the subscribe button
Thanks mate
I really appreciate the comment
Hey LS1 hinchy
This is probably the best comment I’ve got , I’ve been saving on old stuff for years and my kids pushed me to the RUclips thing as they have been watching my cars/trucks come in and out of our yard their whole lives. Thanks mate .
Love the patina of the paint 👍. In my youth I had a couple of HQ's I had the trifecta sadan, van, and ute and when I look back on how simple they made them to work on no computer crap like today's cars. Good job mate keep up the good work I'll be watching can't wait to see the mucus up and running
Mucus episodes are coming shortly
G'day mate awesome video loved it thanks for sharing buddy 👍👍
Thanks mate
I really do appreciate the comments .
Heaps more coming up soon.
@@backshed5295 well buddy you definitely got my attention I'll be watching best of luck mate 👍
Ahhh memories ! My 1st car was a 73 model, ex RSL cab. Did my apprenticeship on taxis in Sydney. HQ thru to HZ, XY thru to XD, VH thru to VK Valiants. Loved my HQ. I had the run of the workshop & the spare parts dept. All our Holden parts were thru Stacks of Rushcutters Bay. Now gone, but were a big deal from the 1940's onward. A lot of older Holdens from the 50's & 60's used to have an additional chrome badge on the rear...Stack for Holden. All gone now 🙁
Great work mate. Good to see some Aussie content. The video came up as a recommendation for me to watch so you must be doing something right. Keep it. 👍
Thanks mate I do appreciate ya comment
Plenty more coming.
You a Holden fan, ford fan or just love old cars?
Damn you’ve done a good job on this HQ! My first car was a 25th anniversary HQ premier, man I wish I still had it.
Yeah mate
Unfortunately we all have that car that got away .👍
Thanks for commenting and thanks for watchin
Nice video mate. Good to see awesome Aussie content. Your channel came up in my recommendations. Had to watch it. Love old Aussie classics. You did an awesome job on the HQ. It turned out great with the original patina kept. Good tips you gave aswell. Subscribed and look forward to Mucous build. Will check out your other videos. Cheers from Melbourne Vic.
Thanks Peter
Yep I love patina because it tells a story of the cars life.
Next episode will be up soon , engine swap to stop the smoke hahhah. And maybe some rego.
Excellent work bud, great car , HQ
Thanks Jim
I appreciate the comment
Beautiful ,good job cobba
Thanks mate.
I do appreciate the comment
Love to sea these old girls driving again. The bonus with these cars you can hook your peepers on the agriculture through the engine bay, not cluttered up with miles and miles of vacuum hoses and junk from the modern years of motoring.
Hahaha yep
Granddad's pajamas I bet were comfortable
Classic. Onya for saving em
Thanks mate I do appreciate the comment.
She ain’t perfect but running and driving after yrs , that’s a win !
Just discovered your show mate absolutely love it keep up the great content can't wait for the next episode 👍
Thanks mate I appreciate the comment
You're a legend mate.
Keep the video's coming,ok.
New 1 up later today mate 🍺👍
@@backshed5295 Can't wait.
Take care,ok.
Cheers mate
Please share the videos around with ya car buddies too mate🍺👍
Hard to find these day's as they had the HQ race series during the late 80's early 90's, so many were crashed and written off. I use to see them race at International raceway in Adelaide along with the Auscar Nascar race series.
🍺👍
Nice one! Brings back memories. The white HQ is late 1971 or 1972. Mucus is 1973 onwards. The front indicators were changed from clear to amber to comply with the change in the lighting laws in 1973. Mucus might also have a dual miles and km speedo, or kilometres only, if it's a '74. That Air Chief radio in the white HQ, may be a replacement. The early HQ factory original radio had a flat fascia, with 4 thumbwheels for the on/off, volume, tune and tone. The radio was changed for the more common 2 shaft controls-style radio during the HQ's production run. There was an AM radio / cassette player available as an option.
If you are removing the black stripes off the bonnet of Mucus, there is also the blacked out window surrounds on the doors, which should be body colour on a Kingswood.
You know your HQs man👍
I don’t want to ruin the patina yet on the bonnet so I might turn them into Monaro stripes the scuff the to look old I think. When it’s body and paint time we might do a Monaro clone??
Bloody legend love the patina Im going to do the same now cheers from nz
Thanks mate , yeah I do love the old patina look too
Mate I wish you’d restore a hq statesman soon! Such a nice car. Keep up the good vids man
Thanks Holdenhead
We’ve got a WB statesman in another video if you haven’t seen that one yet? Stick around mate heaps more coming and thanks for watching mate.
🍺🍺👍
@@backshed5295 yeah mate! Loved the wb statesman vids! Your just such a genius haha. A hq statesman or hk,hg brougham would be so sick. Cheers
You scored a subscribe from me. looking forward to more like this
Thanks mark, yeah there’s more coming soon.
Well done looks good
Thanks Big Dave.
Although I think the Valiants and Falcons of the time were much better looking cars, I can see why the Holdens were so popular. I think they had more of a conservative and timeless design. I read somewhere they were designed to look smaller than they were, and it works, while the Valiants and Falcons look huge. Then, of course, there's the P76, but that's another story.
Good to see these old cars are still out there in people's sheds and you're doing your bit to preserve them for future generations.
🍺👍
New subscriber here from WA. Great work mate, looking forward to seeing all of your videos. Cheers
Thanks mate I do appreciate it
What a gem !!!!
🍺👍
I wish I had the time and money to restore the exterior and interior to completely original condition like the day it was sold new with steel wheels and hubcaps. Then install a late model warm V8, six speed manual transmission, upgrade the brakes and suspension to be somewhat near competitive with a later model SS Commodore. What a sleeper.
🍺🍺👍
Bugger ya!… now you’ve got me juices goin for an Ozzy classic. 😖👍
Hahahahha , yeah grab one mate n get into it!
Love ya work bud
Thanks man I appreciate it greatly
Finally a Aussie that says shed not barn.

Are you a HQ fan? Holden fan or just old cars in general. I ask because we have a bit of everything coming soon. GM and Ford !
@@backshed5295 More of a Ford Fan but Holden are cool as well my Father owned a hq kingswood but auto front disc brakes
@@davidgall4895 can’t thank you enough for watching David , reason I ask about the Holden or ford thing is we have a tonne of both coming soon . I’m a fan of all old cars and I hope that everyone hitting the subscribe button is the same.
What you favourite car? We have Xy falcon, f100, EH , HQ, and FB rat Rod and heaps more coming
That’s sick I have a panel van in sorta the same condition going to do the same thing love it
Yeah mate save on it a bit instead of pulling it apart for a resto until it really needs it.
LEGEND

Mate they can be time consuming, best of luck and thanks for watching
Hi Man, thanks for a great Video, a bit to much music and time lapse for me, but hey its your production.
Here in NZ these Holdens where everywhere like Cortinas, until the introduction of Japanese imports and they just disappeared.

Loving the videos

Good Job 👍

I used to own both these cars mate they were in my family for a long long time
You mean HQs or those cars ??
If you mean these cars I’d love you to contact me
Instagram is Backshedmick and Facebook is Backshed
Please do message me I’d love to find out more about them.
@@backshed5295 these exact two cars mate will doo
@@bradythomas9949 please do
Pm me on Facebook or something
After you put the clear on wouldn't it keep rusting underneath? How do you stop the rusting process?
Nah mate it’s sealed so moisture can’t get to it , But ! If the bad surface rust does deteriorate that’s where you need to use the Boiled linseed or penatrol . Take a look at the patina video I put up and that will explain what I’m saying.
Cheers for the comments
How many of those that watch this are kickin emselves for not keeping the kings they had ???
Everyone ! Hahhaha
Yep I hear ya mate if only we knew.
🍺👍
great channel mate,watching from nz pull that 202 down see what shes like might get away with a hone rings and bearings?would make a good video.cheers
Yeah mate I hear ya we will definitely sort that 202 as it’s the cars original motor but keep watching mate as next episode is up soon
Great vid. She looks fantastic with the patina. Question: What was the process for for treating the underside of the car? Did you do any rust treating after pressure washing, or did you just paint it with rustoleum? Thanks, subscribed.
Thanks mate.
Just painted with black rust inhibitor mate.
🍺👍
Awesome
Thanks Neil
Never been a fuel head myself but ,really love old holdens,,can remember my late father's ej,,I've had an eh,hq wagon, 2 door lj ,,n vk cdore,,,if only we knew how much there worth these days,,,,,great stuff to see you doing it
Had a windowless hq panel van, would love a hq sedan
I’d love to do a sandman replica !
Thanks for watching mate.
Love hq,s. got 2 in my shed. a ute n a sedan. show more ,
Yep there’s more HQs coming plus heaps of other cars
😍😍
🍺🍺👍
I've never had an HQ, but did have a pair of HG's, an LH Torana and VK Commodore wagon. I loved the Holden sixes......but hated the three on the trees, and also hated the Trimatics. I took a drive of a mates XD Falcon which he owned at the same time, and couldn't believe how much better it Borg Warner auto felt by comparison.
In the XD, you had a lockout between drive and neutral. In the Trimatics, the lockout was between drive and second, but no lockout between drive and neutral! What drug were it's designer's taking??!
🍺🍺
Looks great. Did you start the 600 on orbital dry sanding and finish with wet 600 by hand? Also what brand are those rippa mags?
P600 on the heavily stained sections then hand sand with p800 over the rest.
The wheels are a cheap copy of a 90’s Dragway classic wheel. The centre cap says Australian Racing !! Hahaha but I can guess where they were actually made as they were pretty well priced. 🍺👍
Message me through Fb Backshed or Instagram backshedmick for details where to get them if you like?
love a 4 door hq
Me too hahah

You blokes know if you can still buy the little filter that goes in the base of a charcoal canister , I've got a 78 Premier . Any help would be great .
Unfortunately mate I don’t know that’s not something I’ve ever tried to replace mate. Maybe a Hq car club might be a starting point , someone that has done a concourse type restoration. 🍺🍺👍

Hey mate, nice work on the HQ. Just as a matter of interest what was the name of the band second last song please mate ?
Road Trippin by Reakt Music
btw, good work with the white hq. I'm assuming its a 72 model, given the clear blinker lights, MPH speedo and headrests on the front bench seat.
Thanks mate
That would be 71, drum brakes a MPH mate..
This bloke said all six cyl HQs had drums, thats wrong. Misleading...
@@andrew111379 drums were standard and discs were optional.on the front for hq.
@@andrew111379 none of the 71 models had front seat headrests, that was 72 onwards.
MPH speedo still kicking around in 72.
Hi guys, when you install the big block do you always use an electric fuel pump. Is there a way to run a mechanical pump by moving the power steering box forward.. Whats to solution
I’ve done big blocks into Hq-Wb a few times mate with both electric and standard mechanical and never had steering box clearance issues mate , the steering box sits further forward however ! I’ve never done 1 with power steering , you can buy some pretty compact mechanical pumps for chevys so I’d give it a crack.

Sure, Instagram Backshedmick or Facebook Backshed you can get me.
