HT Monaro Amateur Build
Australia
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 10 มี.ค. 2021
I am doing a restomod build of a 1969 HT Monaro. I’m doing most of the work myself in my garage at home but I’ve had the professionals do the panel and paint and build the engine. It will have a 600hp 421 Chev engine, a TKO600 Tremec manual box mated to a shortened 9” diff with Wilwoods brake setup. The engine bay has been cleaned up and the wiring harness hidden.

Excellent work mate! Looking at buying my mates HK Monaro off him ( all the rust repairs been done needs painting and putting back together) as a long term tinker project Will be referring back to your videos lots I’m sure
Thanks mate. 👍
Unreal mate, top achievement. Bloody hard job resto'n a vehicle, whilst you juggle work, family, life and all the up's and downs of the project.....and the coin. Turned out smick as👍👍.
Thanks Paul you know it bro. Mind you it’s taken 12 years and is not quite finished yet. But yeah it’s looking pretty good. I’m a happy lad. Cheers mate. 👍💪💪
Beautiful car bro
Looking and sounding good. Good job. You would be doing well to get everything just right first go, there is always some little things.
Yeah for sure mate. I’m stoked the things that popped up aren’t anything major. Just a few little things. Cheers mate.
Killa car mate love watching your build updates, glad you got it all pretty much ready for cruising now!!
Congrats on getting her back on the road! 👏 I noticed you installed a wiper motor relocation kit and have put it under the dash. Do you cover the fitting of this in one of your episodes and if so, which one? Just about to fit mine.
Maybe you can cover it for me! Haha that’s next bro. My wipers and washers aren’t working yet. 🤞
Great to see her on the road.Your patience with it has paid off.
Still got a bit to do mate but at least it’s driving now. 👍
Super stoked for ya bud enjoy all the hard work with some cruising👍
Absolutely cheers mate. 👍
Good work, shes a real goer and looker👍
Cheers mate. 💪
how email for business ?
Hi I’m interested. Send me your email address and I’ll email you back if that suits?
Happy days, how good is the first drive, nice car mate!
Cheers mate yeah that was the best part! Seeing how it all came together with diff and gearbox ratios etc 💪
@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 yeah I know the feeling it’s awesome, I rebuilt a tonner with BB chev 💪
Awesome job mate, what a Beast 👍👍
Thanks mate.
Congratulations mate, enjoyed following your journey with the build, cheers.
Thanks mate. 🍻
Great job mate, I'm in Perth hope to see u cruising around. I cringe every time see a hot Monaro as I sold in HT GTS in 1981 for 2500 grand..... biggest regret in my life other than my first marriage. Cheers for sharing. 👍
Haha I bought this car as a result of the ending of my first marriage. Always a silver lining!
happy to see you driving mate, a great build for a great person well deserved enjoy !!
Thanks man I appreciate that 👌
I remember first tuning in and seeing u fit the suspension looking good mate ht have always had a soft spot for me ❤
Thanks mate. It’s been a long road but the result is mint.
Looks good Young fella.
Thanks Ray. It’s been a long road 👌👌
@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 should post a few comparison pics from years ago, pre rear ender, damage, and finished (well semi finished, we all know there is always something else to be done..). but it does look great.
Will do Ray 👌
Congrats enjoy your evil
Great work! Good to hear that you are using Rare Parts in Welshpool. They were a great help in my build. I relived nightmares watching the rear glass go in. We spent a whole day putting 1 side in. Its so hard. Great to see your mate help out, worth every cent, and you still have snim on the back of your fingers. Ive watched every episode, and really enjoy it
Thanks mate! I have enjoyed doing at and filming it along the way. Cheers 🍻
Thanks for the info on the sheer pins , does any one know how to remove manual links from the bottom of steering column
Awesome build . Been watching for a while now .
Thanks man 👍
Champion...glad your back into it. Pointy end of things now mate. Top effort.
Thanks Paul. I’m absolutely determined to be on the road come January so I’ve got a long list of small things that need doing. I’ll keep plugging away. Cheers mate. 👌
Nice /keep re rigal can can be /dont change any thing /diff /motor /paint /interior /more money too u i fuc@up did nit liston too my mates on hk monaro 68
,, Mick is a lifesaver, its one hell of a job to stay sane. his done it a time or 2 by the looks of it. I can tell you HQ coupe window installing is one pain in the arse job hands down,
Yeah mate he’s a good dude and does a great job 👍
Good work as always man, keep it up. Hopefully you will be rolling early in the new year. 👍
That's the plan! Cheers mate.
Well your channel finally prompted me to pull the trigger. Wasn't planning to buy a car yet and as I've said previously I was always planning to make a purchase for a project but I was concerned I may not finish it. Well about 3 months ago, opportunity presented and I ended up picking up something in quite good condition for a good price. I bought it because I can enjoy driving it for a while and then when the buzz starts to fall away a bit I can start the project. Just wanted to ask you what manuals have you got. I have found some online that look like the original workshop manuals. I think there are 2 and they are green. Just after some info on what you used. All the best and looking forward to seeing it finished.
Awesome man what did you buy? Yeah the green manuals mate are the best. Two Volumes. They are the original Holden Workshop Manuals. I’ve actually got those two plus two non genuine ones (Gregory’s and another brand). The green ones are the best. Good luck mate 👌👌
@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 Black with Matt Black stripes, centerlines, 350, turbo 350 trans, 9 inch. Love it. Was restored about 20 years ago from what a friend of mine suggested, but looking to strip and do a ground up at some stage. Is still in great nick.
Awesome bro 😎
Onya man holiday is always good, great update on your progress though, loving the sound of it! great photos of your trip thanks for sharing!
Thanks mate. Looking forward to spending some more time on it 👍
What do you do for work ? Also, you are a big unit 6ft plus ? Sounds mint 👌
Hey mate I work in Rail and yeah man, I’m 6’7” 😎😎😛
@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 my God 6'7 .. keep up the good work
Cheers mate 👍
Coming along very nice matey , HT monaros always come 1st 😉❤️🏁
Haha cheers mate. 👍
My father has the same car i used to go on school holidays in it as a family a early 70s HT Monaro in light green with the black stripes he nearly 90 nowadays lots of memories with us 3 kids in the back not much room
Love that 👌👌👌
All takes time! maybe you need a white board? Count down jobs to do and in order! My HQ Monaro took over 5 years ! Looking good. Bill Mc
Thanks Bill. Certainly agree mate cheers.
Great to see you back mate missed your vids
Thanks mate. Keen to get into it. 👍
Farout it started pretty easy , what diameter are the gauges , I think I’m going to go that route with my dash
I think the small ones are 2 1/4” if I’m not mistaken. The big ones I think are 5” but I’ll have to check for you. I still have the boxes. 👍
You’re well ahead of me on your build it’s looking awesome
Cheers mate. 👍
Stoked to see more on this. Thanks for posting it.
Cheers mate!! 👌
Any updates, been a while since the last episode
I’ve to say yes but I’ve just finished a four month lap of Australia with the family. Hopefully when I get back from a couple of weeks of work I’ll be able to get into it. Cheers mate.
BLOODY HANDY!! I just noticed yesterday that my sheer pins have broken and the inner shaft was moving 😲 Knitting needles and 788mm is exactly what I needed to know, THANKS MATE!!!
Glad it helped you mate 🤙🤙
Hi mate nice Monaro bro . Show good content which others learn from or get value from and the subscribers will come naturally. TH-cam is a hustle and consistency is key . Keep at it
Thanks mate. I’m not too fussed to be fair. I do enjoy putting content out when I get time. Cheers for the comment 👌
Just curious. Whats your background. If its not electrical you are doing a bloody good job. Not saying if you are electrical its not. Really impressed with everything you've done. Whats the history of the car. Havre you owned it along time. What motivated you to do a resto. All the best mate. You're getting close now.😉
Haha cheers mate. Na I’m not a sparky or a mechanic or even a tradesman of some description. I have worked in a mechanics work shop many moons ago. But the truth is I’ve played with bikes and cars all my life. Pretty much self taught. I’m a researcher and I like working shit out and I think I’ve got a good eye for detail. I’m pretty fussy too so it all comes together with what’s in the garage I suppose. I’ve owned the old girl since 2011. I don’t know a lot of history on the car apart from the owner before me living in the Pilbara in WA. He bought it from South Australia and it’s a Brisbane built car. It was a little rough around the edges when I bought it and I was always planning a resto. About 8 years ago a young guy ran up its arse and caved the boot in and that’s when I took it off the road and started the resto. I’ve always been a rev head and don’t care much for purity. I just want a tough old head turner to drive to take the kids to school in haha. Cheers mate. 🤙🤙
What ride height did you go for?
Did you watch it? 2” CRS drop spindles on the front and MotorFab low mono leaf setup on the rear 🤙
Bugga on the facia corner mate, so frustrating hey - I can relate 😁..... Hey just on the water in the boot, check your rear screen lower corners too👍👍
Will do bro thanks 🙏 They’re new but worth double checking it all. It’s coming in somewhere 🙄🙄🤙
Mate the haircut c'mon you can do better
I prefer to call it a ‘hair do’ rather than a hair cut 😂😂😂
@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 hehe yea just yeno, next cut better be a little more slick!
🤪🤪
Looking good!! Because you have the rear supported under the diff you still have ride height even in the air so you can still get accurate measurements. Would only be an issue if rear stands were under the body and diff was down at full extension.
Trying to wrap my head around it. So what if my driveway was on a 45 degree steep angle? (There is a slight decline there). Wouldn’t matter because all measurements are relevant to each other? Cheers mate.
@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 Yeah you’re onto it !!! That’s going to look fn nice going down the road, can’t wait to see you drive it.
@mick6485 thanks for that mate. I think the gearbox needs to be shimmed up a little. I’ll have another look at it. Cheers mate. Looking forward to driving it again 👍
She's looking beautiful mate; bet you can't wait till it's all done
Cheers mate. Yeah defs. The closer I get the longer the job list gets haha. But finishing the wiring was a massive task. The rest is just small shit compared to that. 👍
The contacts in that switch are filthy clean them up and check again
Yeah I figured that. There was a bit going on behind the scenes. That switch that I fitted was a second hand switch that I bought. Apparently it had been tested as working fine. The switch that you see the contacts on isn’t the switch I fitted in the end because the back plastic off my original switch broke when trying to put it all together. But the contacts on that second switch must be filthy inside too. Frustrating.
@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 all good auto lec myself so need any tips let me no
Thanks Legend. 👍
@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 Over time you get oxidisation which adds to a high resistance connection. An old trick I use to do is get one of those rubbers(eraser) with the pen rubber at one end and the pencil at the other and rub the pen rubber over it. Little bit more abrasive without removing contact material, or very little. Works a treat. If the contacts are really bad a bit of metho and some material over a pen end should help remove residue as well. The blunt end not the sharp end. You don't want to scratch the contact surface.
@@ozgecho3023 love your work. Cheers mate I’ll give it a go 👌👌
Well done mate. Don’t get too fussed with the angle of the dangle. ……most people don’t even start a project…let alone finish it. Reading about everything is good…..but also bad! You are at the point of …..get the count on the road!!!!!
Cheers mate. So close. Just gotta keep chipping away. 👍
Have been watching your build for awhile. Take my hat off to you. You have done an awsome job. My first car was a HT monaro so I have a soft spot for them. Tossing up whether to buy one done or to have a go myself. I've seen plenty that get started but never get finished and I'm concerned I'll run out of steam. Anyway awsome job. Looking forward to seeing it done. Just a couple of quick ones for you. I have watched all the videos but can't remember if you had a big arse fuse on the battery. Was just looking at that post and the main power cable going through the fire wall. Not trying to be an expert here at all, but was wondering do you have any protection on that cable between the post and the battery just in case of a short on that cable to the body. The other one was I thought I would put some theory to the blown ignition module. This may or may not describe what happened but there is an equation P=VI P=Watts, V=Volts and I=Current. For a given load (Watts), if the voltage decreases then by calculation the current will increase so for example if you have a 24W load and the voltage is 12V then the current would be 2A, but if the voltage is only like I think you said 4V then the current will end up being 6A, so bottom line is you end up drawing more current to make the same power so it would have been like a heating element cooking the electronics. If you already knew this then disregard but thought it might be handy in the future if you have something like this again. Hope that helped.👍
I haven’t fused the main power supply as yet. I’ve been trying to find something suitable. I realise that would be best practice. As far as the ignition goes…. I’m still a bit baffled. There shouldn’t have been any voltage drop to it. I’ve calculated all the cabling throughout the car. My research tells me that those MSD’s are known for it. I should have bought an ICE ignition. Cheers mate. 👍👍
@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 Haven't done the research on the ignition module so I'll take that on board if I end up having a dip myself.
Fab update, looking beautiful old mate, gotta love the old Holden's GMH & GM Man here, I enjoyed the show👌 🍻🍻 🍻 KC 🇦🇺🇳🇿🤝🇦🇺🇦🇺😉😎👍
Thanks for the support mate. 👍
@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 my pleasure mate anytime 😊 👍
The slower you go the quicker you will finish it’s only man made you are doing well enjoy
The 1%’s seem to take the longest haha. Glad the wiring is done now. That was a huge job!
Are you doing power windows?
No.
