glad to help cheers

Cheers Chris

Cheers, Thanks man

Hi Paul. I don't think it's up to me to post on social media what the new owners paid. If they choose to post it that's fine. sorry mate

@@rustandpaint all good I appreciate your honesty. I love the colour combination you went with. I also have one, coupe 72 gts, there is so much more I want to do to it but don’t have the time.

@@paulcamilleri182 You can definitely sink some hours into them. Time is a problem, every 5 minute job takes 4 hours, lol. I found if I picked one thing that I wanted to get done and did an 1 hour or even 30 mins a day on it before or after work or when ever I could, it was amazing what you get done in a week or 2. The more I got done the keener i got.

I'm going to try to do a very low budget build but still end up with a pretty nice car at the end.

Thanks mate

@brushitoff503 Cheers Mate

@roadsign1402 Thanks Mate.

@@gavinwilliams-yy7cz works a treat!

@owh57 Hi mate, he doesn't do it anymore. He is too busy with other work.

Thanks Mate. I'm pretty happy with it.

@rustandpaint You should be mate! I'm doing up a 68 Hk premier atm can not wait till she is finished....

@@spitzndtruth1484 I look forward to seeing your build, nice cars the HK Premier.

@rustandpaint So do I lol she's of to fabricators on the 25th! Going to paint her Nardo grey.... pro street set up. They are fantastic looking cars...you should see me around I am a sunny coast lad! 😎

@spitzndtruth1484 I'm west Brisbane, but I do get around.

Hi Russell I made them out of 12mm x 2mm stainless flat bar. in one of the videos there is a bit on how I did it.

Hi Mark, The colour is out of a colour swatch book. As far as i know it's not a car colour. It's called Atlas Blue, unfortunately it rarely photographs' the correct colour. I didn't know that bout the roof colour. I had only seen vinyl on the Monaro's. I went with the white for something different and to help keep the heat down so the AC wouldn't have to work as hard.

Cheers mate

it's awesome fun ,not. 😆 🤣

Cheers Jim

I was told that after i had finished the job. My luck the compressor would give up the ghost mid job. lol

@@rustandpaint shit like that happens to us all, mine gave up mid paint job once.

@@colinmiles9390 Murphy's law. you can only laugh and move forward, or cry. lol

I purchased it from eBay It was in 2018 , it works well It is a dual Diaphragm , I've heard good and bad about them. It's been ok so far, touch wood. it wasn't very expense, around the couple of hundred dollar mark

Cheers Mike, Thanks for watching

Eagle Auto Part, . it was $4200 long block $6200 full turn key which is what I purchased. 350/290hp. Son-in-law has one in his boat which was sweet so i put the same in the coupe, Im not sure they do the 350/290 anymore. They do a 355/390 for about $9500. i brought mine pre covid

Cheers Dallas , I have added polished stainless steel trim/ moulding to the join to finish it off. I'm still up in the air about it and if I fully like it or not. I have a bit more video to upload when I get time. Hopefully over the next week or so.

Cheer Jayden. I look forward to seeing your build.

​@@rustandpaint Cant quite afford a Monaro, but looking at a VK Calais 333, fingers crossed. Start of the collection, one day i'll try get a Monaro or Torana that's the dream.

@jaydennharrisonn I ended up with the Monaro because I brought it when they were cheap. I couldn't buy one at the prices they are today. Build what you can afford, and whatever you like, the main thing is that you get enjoyment out of making it your own. The VK is a great car and look great, especially the calais.

Cheers Man

Thanks Man, Appreciated

Cheers mate, The booster is a dual diaphragm booster it it works well. My concern with it is how long it will last.

Thanks very much Michael.

Thanks Andrew, I just found broken body mount rubbers today. To long in the cupboard. I will check out the high pressure fuel hose clamps, Thanks for the heads up. Cheers Darryn

Cheers Ben 🍻

No worries, thanks for watching it.

Cheers Mate

Cheers Mate, There is definitely something addictive about car restoration. Yes once you're cruising you soon forget about how hard or what a pain things have been. Seems there is always something waiting to break. I've just found that most of my body mount rubbers have cracked and broken. More fun a head. Your Chrysler is very nice mate, you have the 318 looking very clean tidy! Also a nice colour combo.

@@rustandpaint thank you kind sir. The problem is that I like a lot of classic cars and if I was a rich person I would have many 😂

@@Tk-ou9ec I think that's part of the disease. 😆

Jim the HZ Premier is my favourite, I had a 79 Prem Wagon in 82-85 beautiful car! It seems to be a never ending affair with them, They like you spending money and having your hands all over them. LOL

Still cheaper than a woman😁@@rustandpaint

Thanks for the offer, but I'm not in the market at the moment. Is it disc front and back or disc drum?

It’s disc front drum rear that’s what bignut cylinders are… all good mate👍

@Farmoils Thanks. I have disc all round. I put a WB Stateman diff in it. If I hear of anyone needing one, I will shoot you a message.

A bit of hindsight would have been nice! That's a pretty nice car for a young fella back then.

I really think if you can find an original MC and have a stainless sleeve put in it you are better off. If this one goes, I will try to do that or try a Wilwood MC or something similar. You need to be able to stop without worrying if it is going to fail. The Protex and the one I purchased look identical. may be the same just a different box

@@rustandpaint costs and benefits of the wilwoods put me off, for every good comment on them there’s normally multiple negative. I’m currently filming a vy booster/master conversion as just like you I’ve had multiple problems with the aftermarket master cylinders.

@V8JakeC I brought the Wilwood HQ conversion kit when it was on special. it was around $120 off. They work well, but I'm not sure what I was expecting. the original PBR worked as well. I know a few who have the Wilwood MC, and they seem to be ok. I'm not keen on going through the Flexdrive route again, doing all that brake bleeding again. That's the only reason mentioned using the other brands. As you know, what a pain it is!

It had a 12months 120k warranty but it sat for over 2years in the shed before is put it in.

@@rustandpaint bugga

@@99gibby99 yeah, it was. lucky it was a simple inexpensive fix.

I'm a HZ fan, my favourite Holden. It's funny how it's all great while they are sitting still in the shed, But once they start moving, How things change. LOL

Thanks Mate. They do have a nice shape about them.

Thanks Andrew

Cheers, Darryl, It has been worth it. I'm very happy with the result.

Cheers Mate. it has had it moments. 😆 🤣 😂

Thanks, man!

Cheers Mate
