@@MeatballGarage Wow didn't expect a shout out, thanks mate - fitting video for it though! Oh and can I suggest that The Iron Empire may be down your alley too? th-cam.com/users/TheIronEmpire
@@BrowneysGarage My pleasure mate! I did a similar thing on my travel channel trying to spread the love with other channels doing similar stuff. I have seen plenty of the Iron Empire - Mark has some very nice projects! Will have to update this list me thinks! Cheers!!
Your reactions are some much better for video than mine! I normally just start shaking my head or laughing at how stupid I am 🤣. More people need to see that this sort of stuff happens to EVERYONE... it just happens to some of us a little more often 🙋♂️
Hey Browney! Haha mate I am amazed you can keep your composure like you do! Very mature of you - where as at some points I'm close to throwing tools - which isn't great, but makes for a funny look back at things! Agree - too many car TH-cams skip over the stuff ups and challenges us DIY hacks face. Hopefully the transparency you show in your vides (and the muck ups in mine) help make folks feel a little more comfortable when things don't quite work out!
G’day Rob! Haha awesome mate, very comforting knowing there are a stuff ups a plenty happening in sheds everywhere 😁Thanks for watching mate!! Cheers - Marc!
P.S hope this inspires you to document any balls ups you have when working on your X Dub as well!! For every balls up we share, we help prevent others making the same stuff up haha!
Gamiseta file! Some pretty big stuff ups which I can relate to, blowing up my wrx engine in Greece which I could have prevented. Plus the niggly ones with dropping bolts or small tools down the engine bay never to be found again. Also the oil and cutting things out the wrong way all come to mind. I love your sense of humour and how you take it on the chin. I usually punch things and end up in hospital with fractured hands, fingers and knuckles! Thanks heaps for including my channel in the list! I highly appreciate it!!
George!! haha I had to google that one, now I know another Greek swear (bloody marvelous)! Geez you must have been putting in some hard yards to blow up that rex motor! Sounds like you have had some similar experiences. But jeez i have never ended up in hospital - you don't do things by halves! I am and always will be a hack, and cars are a hobby so cant take it too seriously! Mate my pleasure - I don't get to many car shows these days so I enjoy watching them through your lens....except I should really watch with a beer as per your instructions! Cheers mate!
Oh that one was painful!! So much time put aside, and wasted for not paying attention - still fires me up! The head unit rattles in its place too because of how its mounted so its like a constant reminder of my incompetence 🤣🤣😬
Hehe Cheers Rob - Glad you enjoyed it mate! Whenever I balls something up and get frustrated in the moment, a little voice in the back of my head says ‘don’t worry, this will be funny one day’ haha!
Haha Cheers Sam! The young bloke is the reason its been hard to get videos out lately - the least he could do was watch his old man on the big screen!! Glad you have been enjoying them mate!! Cheers - Marc
Haha awesome!! Cheers Boys! Makes me feel a lot better that you blokes - who are far more competent than ill ever by - suffer the same stuff ups as a stooge like me haha! Cheers for watching and your support - love your work! Cheers 👍🍻🍻
Great video mate! Over the years you’ve inspired me to do more work on my own car and waste hours and hours fixing my own idiotic stuff ups! Trust the fam is well, cheers.
Cheers Jeremy! That’s awesome mate - what car are you working on? Getting your hands dirty is a great way to learn isn’t it! Then again, re doing over and over again little jobs you constantly stuff up sometimes makes you question why you bother in the first place hehe 🙃 We are well here! Little bloke is growing up fast, just need him a bit older so I can use hit little hands to change the plugs on the Clevo! Thanks for your support! Cheers - Marc
@@MeatballGarage Mate, a 1967 Mustang with a 347 Windsor. Your fuel line issues were a mirror image of my own so I was watching and ticking the same boxes... "Yep, done that. Done that, too. Oh still leaking? Yep, feel for ya..." and so on and so forth. Glad the little bloke is growing like a weed, get him on the spanners asap. Cheers mate.
@@Jeremy-kf2zs ohhh I like the sounds of that - love a pokey windsor stroker in those!! Haha mate it is so comforting knowing i'm not the only one that ends up with fuel everywhere! Cheers!!
Mate I was laughing my guts out!! You and me are so similar. I have done more damage to the cars I restore than time or neglect can do. I so relate. You got me subscribed. Good videos mate. Your evolution is evident and good to see. Keep them coming.
Fantastic!! Glad you got a few laughs from ya! I reckon the vast majority of folks that play with cars have enthusiasm that outweighs their talent - someone's got to represent us hacks! Mind you, your work isn't too shabby yourself! Thanks for the Sub! Cheers - Marc
G’day Steve! Mate i have no idea - and id dearly love to find out too! There are a couple of those elbows in the engine bay wiring that need attention on my car. The fuel sender loom luckily was already in tact on mine. Maybe one of the GT shops might know, or maybe we can get some from Jaycar?
@@MeatballGarage Ill make some enquiries and let you know. Absolutely loved watching your dash upgrades and work on your falcoon & your fathers. Make some more on both these vehicles.
Thanks for that mate! And cheers - glad you enjoy the XW vids! Can’t wait to get stuck into a couple of little projects on mine when it warms up again!
congratulations on hitting over 1000 subs (1.17k of the time of this comment) the only "meatball" I've had with my car, was my very first car a 1997 Nissan Pulsar. Spent a couple of days, cut and polishing, making it look mint, the some lady t-boned me. Ah well.
Haha thanks mate - ah yeah takes my sweet time to go from filming to editing to posting these days (reckon my next vids might be a bit simpler..) Oh man those little pulsars were rippers! That it a pretty full on story man!! I use to get fired up when people would touch my windows after i cleaned them, let alone getting written off after a couple of days detailing...bugger!! I hope you haven't had any spills in the interior from all the food reviews! We have more KFC wipes if you need em ;)
G'day Steve - ah so you found all my stuff ups, hope you got a laugh or two! That block is a virgin 302 Clevo. I bought it nearly complete and stripped it down and sold off the heads, pistons, rods and other bits and pieces. I have a Scat 393 rotating assembly under the bench which will end up in the block to go in the Fairmont one day. It's all been sitting there for a few years, but will slowly keep accumulating the bits needed for it. Will probably build it once my young bloke is grown up a bit and we use the car more - hard to justify the outlay at the moment as she is gathering a fair bit of dust!! Cheers! Marc

where do you get the 90 degree fuel sender wire elbow mate ? i cannot find the complete loom or elbow anywhere.

Good on ya mate the 393 will be an almighty awesome build. Its actually where i want to take my 351 Clevo to in my XW mate.
