Getting soo close now mate!. I've been watching this build from the start, you've done a killer job with the rig and the content the whole way through. Can't wait to see some footage of this weapon in action!.🤙🇦🇺
Here in Italy weather was miserable yesterday, spent my Sunday watching this whole build in one sitting, was bloody hooked!
Awesome project, great editing and good amount of info, learnt a fair bit from this build series.
Can't wait to see it finished, keep it up mate!
Haha thank you mate! Really appreciate it.
Wow Richard! A mountain of work done in this Episode. 👏 I'm looking forward to seeing the Chassis painted. Should look great given all the prep work you have done. Thanks again. Enjoyed it.
Cheers Andy!
Probably my favorite build series ever. I’m loving the project and your skill. Is that your old man helping out too? Great to see.
Cheers Chris, yep - managed to wrangle my 90 year old grandpa into swinging spanners with me, he loves it!!!
Bloody legend! You take so much pride in what you do and you do an amazing job, keep up the good work man. Looking forward to seeing the finished product and to see it wheeling 👌👍
Thanks Shane :) Can't wait to get it out on the tracks.
Ooo wireless charger on the centre console. That’s all time. That’ll come in handy for the four in four.
The 4x4
Yeah. Sick of not having one.
Slaying it mate. It's come so far. The anticipation is crazy.
Haha you're telling me!!!
Excellent work can not wait for the finished look of your build.
Cheers James, neither can I :)
Incredible quality in this build! All the hard work will pay off soon
Thanks Jaime!
Been watching fro the start mate ..coming together great..can’t wait to see the old girl done ..I’ve had 3 ..HJ 47s my self …my late father had a 73 model …with a 351 Cleveland ..and auto on transfer case ..was his pride and joy …keep up the great work
Cheers John, sounds like you're quite the 40 series enthusiast!!! hopefully I haven't butchered it too much 🤣
You have come a long way 👍
Can’t wait to see it done, quality build
Thanks Damian :)
It's looking very nice, looking forward to seeing the reassembly.
Cheers Jason. I am hanging to put back together a freshly painted vehicle.
Solid work!! can't wait to see it finished
Cheers Logan!!!
This build has been awesome! Reckon it needs a good snappy name combining all the components together to finish it off
Lol could call it "snappy" 🤣 snap it together, it'll be snappy off the mark with that engine and might even snap some axles with all that power lol. Not to curse him when he's off road 🤣
@@shanemoffitt6205 🤣
Open to suggestions!!!
Ooo getting to the pointy end
👉
I’m really getting excited to see the finished result! 👏🏻
So am I 😅
It’s all coming along so well Richard, great idea to make the radiator support removable too!! Keep it going mate, gotta be getting close to a first start!! 🤙🏻
Cheers Geoff, can't wait.
Loving this build mate it very well done and produced my only concern is you are getting close to completion 😶 I hope you have a plan to keep your content coming to keep me entertained keep up the good work.
Haha Cheers Hamish. I have a few ideas :) No more full builds for a while though. Keen to get some use out of this thing!
Excellent work!
Thank you!
Love these sorts of projects. Great work and skills by all involved. SUBSCRIBED!
Ha thank you!
Found your channel the other week, binge watched it and i have been hanging for the next ep haha i love it cheers mate
Haha cheers Dean, glad to hear you are enjoying it!
Well done mate 👌
Cheers Peter!
Looking good on the progress and can't wait to see it finished. Downside to all the work would probably be the black snot from grinding 😁
You wouldn't believe, black snot for days!!!
Good job man.
Cheers Richy
So sick Ricky! Jealous AF. So keen to see it all done. Hope you’re well my dude
Cheers Cal, had no idea you were following along! Cheers mate, hope you are well also :)
Awesome mate
🙌
Love the build. Have watched it from the start. Just wondering why you’ve decided to blast rather then dip? Only ask because you’ve gone to so much trouble building and blasting isn’t possible to get everywhere as dipping is.
Anyway love your work👍
Hey Robert, fair call. I'm coating it a hard wearing polyurethane paint which is an economical option. I never really looked at dipping it to be perfectly honest. Agree it would be better on the inside, the 80 series frame seems to be pretty hard wearing as is, could have been dipped from factory?
The trick I have found if you use masking tape to make modifications kits works for primed and painted panels
Cheers Jason, I'll keep that in mind. Hopefully I don't have to do anymore of it :/
Between this and Binky, I feel spoiled for vehicle builds on TH-cam
Haha kind words! They are next level
Iv owned every ford with a6 starting with the 65 xp the barra is the best by a mile the 74 xb cast iron head comes second
Good to know!
Getting close man! A lot of talent has been out in to this build, and thanks for bringing us along with it! Getting to that point where the hard work will feel like it’s paid off!
Also, will you be painting some of the motor bits? Rocker cover same as cab? Compressor cover? Would look awesome. Keep it up man
Cheers Joel! Yep going to paint the block, valve cover and rocker cover. I did think about going body colour but I just love the red top to much. I'll bring it back to its former glory!
@@DesignedandBuilt that’ll look the part man!
Great job Richard, I really like the removable radiator support mount bracket mate, well done. Just a thought, the rear trailing arm front pivot mounts, do you think they may need plating to strengthen the bolt bolt area or not, the metal used just looks a little thin, could be thickened up a bit I thought that's all mate, well done again mate. Seeya Rob
Cheers Rob, as far as I know it's not really a failure mode I should be worried about!
Hell yeah been following this for a while!! Are you in Sydney or something???
Melbourne mate!
I'm probably the only one, but...
If I had a 40 series, with that dead flat floor pan, I'd have polished hardwood flooring, instead of carpet or vinyl.
Some of that waterproof, click together engineered flooring from bunnings, cheap enough to replace every few years. Spotted gum, jarrah maybe a Vic ash.
As, I said, I'm probably the only one.
That would be pretty damn cool Aaron, not sure its my cup of tea but I can definitely see it looking damn good!
@@DesignedandBuilt
Go on, do it......
I'm no timber person, but I don't think steam bending is going to cut it, for a 60 series floor pan.
Are you getting the chassis dipped or galvanized or just painted??
It's obvious to me, you do way more research than me, so, I'm wondering what route you're taking with the chassis, so I can copy it, for my next project.
@@aaronnoyb haha I blasted and painted because it was economical. It's not going to be a daily driven rig so I think it should be fine for my user case. Sadly I think it will spend more days than not garaged....
This journey has been awesome to be on, thanks for allowing me to come along. What's the plan for paint, I can't remember if you've mentioned this before? I've always imagined it be the tawny beige 😂
Hey Brenton, don't think I've mentioned the big PaInT CoLoUr ReVeAl on here. Just going Sandy Taupe & black, keeping it simple!
@@DesignedandBuilt that's the colour I was talking about, I reckon that will suit perfect with the mix of old school and new.
Just wondering are you going to be putting roof and floor lining in the truck as well as carpet??
Hey Will, yeah great questions. I am keen on putting the sound deadening down. I don't particularly like carpet, I kind of want vinyl. Open to suggestions?
Looking good. Who are you getting to provide an engineer’s certificate? From what I understand, the rules are more stringent than in my day… Swerve testing etc etc
Cheers Rhys, yeah got something lined up. Very possibly, depends on the state/ level of mods etc.
As Borat would say "Very Nice!" I doubt you'll want to sell her and or scratch her up in the bush after she's finished!
Haha thanks mate, the first time out in the bush is going to be tough thats for sure. After a couple of scratches SBR!
Not sure if I missed you saying it the big hole in the tray? What’s it for
Just general access to plumbing, could have probably got away without it but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Can access water tank & a lot of fuel fittings from there. I'll have a flap on Hinges so it's not actually a hole!
Not long now 🤌
Can almost taste it 😁
I was interested in the build up until the point were It became obvious that the vehicles chassis and new body mounts, front grill and radiator support mounts, along with fitment of both front mudguards and engine and gearbox mounts were all fabricated by someone else.....? On top of that a Barra powered built vehicle the same had already been built... ?
Next 😂
Haha maybe watch it a bit harder next time. No denying I used someone else’s engine and body mount kit but it ends there!!!
@@DesignedandBuilt So being your as suggested, a qualified engineer by trade.
why is it then? that you decided to mount an engine and gearbox off center to the chassis rails of the vehicle....?
To make it fit mate! Sometimes there is no other option and I think you’ll find a lot of production vehicles have off-centre motors as well.
@@DesignedandBuilt So being your an engineer by trade. Did you bother to give any thought at all to reducing, or increasing the amount of material in terms of the length of material supplied to the left and right hand sides of the engine mounts supplied?
Instead of off Centering the engine, would it have made more sense to make the left, or right hand side engine mount shorter, or longer to achieve the required center result??
Absolutely, there are then inherit problems with the bolt ons clashing. Also if the whole motor is offset, then the COG is more likely to be offset. When it’s crooked it’s probably in a similar spot. Also having it slightly crooked worked much better for my rear tailshaft angle. Again this is not uncommon on production cars. What are your concerns?
