He's back!!! Mate you'd be having words with whoever put that diff housing together for you. Great content again mate. Definitely not doing it wrong, I'd prefer the long episode opposed to 14 parts.
I watched the entire Mucus saga a few times over the last several months. I think I Like him about as much as you do. Hope to see future updates on him and cant wait to see him at the strip. Nothing like the Torque of a GM big block.
Just found myself a cheap rusty v8 hz sedan no motor or box though picking it up next week. Currently rewatching all your older videos mate they are helping alot with info and motivation 👍🍻
A great job done on MUCUS which sounds really good. You should enjoy riding down memory lane. I really enjoy your videos and no it is not too long. Keep them coming Mick.
I really enjoy watching you fixing up the old Holdens, Mick. They are very close to my heart as, 50 years ago I used to drive a Holden HQ pick up, re badged as a Chevy El Camino, in South Africa. We were doing power line patrols and surveys all over the republic. I have aways thought of these Holdens as beautiful vehicles.
Hi Michael, I was never a fan of Holden until I brought myself a HQ wagon and another HQ premier sedan, it changed my life. Loved them , thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos. Cheers
At last! Something good to watch!! Honestly there is so much content out there and the makers of it are well meaning but almost devoid of personality - that’s what sets you apart mate! You are actually present in front of the camera. I haven’t finished watching yet but I’m sure it’s going to be good.
An informative and interesting film. A much better reality tv show than anything Motor Trend TV does. All they want to do is hurry to the end results. The “Heap” is coming along nicely. I know there is more coming so, as you say, Mick, “Let’s get into it”! I’d say make your films longer, but I know you gotta work for a living, as well.
Absolutely Don I’d do have to work mate and it gets in the way of doin what I love mate but thanks for the top comment being compared to Motortrend is flattering to say the least.🍺🍺👍
@@backshed5295 , Mate….. I love the absence of bullshit. Although I do watch some American car shows, yours and the Canadian bloke that does “Cold War Motors” are a breath of fresh air.
Thanks for ya vids. I thought I recognized ya tar strip. Haven't been out "the bat" way for 30+ years. Also when ya do laps on Dartbrook reminds me as kids late 70's ridin our pushies from Mbrook to the Deen on the back road.
DAM MAN iget great pleasure watching your videos but this one made me smile from ear to ear ,muckus turned out effin awesome ,looks killa , sounds killa ,mate you are killa great job ,this is what backshed muscle cars are all about
That's a power of work put into this episode Mick. Well done. Some great tips of things to do and things to avoid. You said this was going to be a long one and it sure was. Great entertainment.
Love it bonnet scoop looks awesome, sounds angry brilliant car I can see why your excited I would be smiling ear to ear driving it around, brilliant video love the tips and tricks I learn alot watching love the long videos I was glued to the screen the whole video.
Haha the old "use the drum as an axle puller" trick. My LH SLR 5000 had a drum banjo and just before the spider gears would blow apart, the axle splines would twist a little. So the drum trick always came in handy. In the end I could change a centre in it in about 40 minutes. The problem was solved when I traded it in for an LX A9X torrie which had the bigger 10 bolt. But if we are going to talk about tall gearing, My A9X had a 2.6 to 1 ratio out the factory. Why that was the case I never knew. Great video. Nice to see people saving these old girls. I shudder to think how many pretty solid hq's we sent to the tip in the 80s. 😢
The old Qs i remember when they first came out the old man bought a new kingswood wagon on the NZ dealers tour to see them introduced, first HQ wagon in Nz was in our driveway you could ride around all day in it and not see another HQ in a few months they were everywhere, simple cars to fix when they broke I owned 7 in Aussie mostly vans for traveling, they were cheap to buy and disposable when they stopped,
Great work mate. i had issues with an aftermarket trns dipstick, it filled my pan with plastic linner because everytime id put the dipstick in it would scratch the linner . I went back to standard. Keep wrenching 👌 Hj 308 th350
@@backshed5295 no worries mate, waiting for the next wrecking yard haul and a bunch of new builds for the channel. Even if we have too wait don't burn yourself out like every other channel keep doing you 🤙👍
Mick you’re a little ripper maté nothing is a problem I just love the way you’re able to make it fun and not to say the best show , you’re just a dag 🇦🇺👏👏😎kind regards mick rob
This car has come a long ways. I'm glad to see you haven't held back on this Holden 😞! 🤣 I do like some of the unique styling lines you have with the Holden. Comparing it to some of the same vehicles of the era that we have here in the United States.
Hi there, I'm new to your videos. Love the way you explain things , it's fantastic.. I'm an old school lad, had Monaros, Toranas , Panelvans etc in my day, sadly I don't now, but after watching your videos I friggen want one now to work on.. thanks
Hi, loving the videos. I once spent a horrible afternoon at the eye and ear hospital getting my eye scraped after drilling under a car without safety glasses, especially after the steel started rusting. Can you let people know its super important to wear them and grab some when your drilling next time. People are learning from your videos so maybe you will get to save someone from the same experience and possibly even save their sight. I do love old Holdens, especially with a V8.
So good to see you working on cars again. Some great pointers there too. Been a while, but you are back. That 4x4 you hinted at is intriguing. See you soon,
backshed.net.au/ Hey I know it’s a long one people but I’d prefer to give ya a long one with a result at the end rather than 7 20min episodes and 6 with waiting to see what’s next . You tell me if I’m doin it wrong?? Anyhow cheers and the next 2 videos will be up quicker and they are Aussie classic revivals. Cheers 🍺🍺 oh and sorry about the soft burnout but I’m still bedding in rings in that fresh motor , I bash it next time you see it hahhha.
It’s amazing what comes to you after a couple of sips of beer hey mate 😂 welcome back bro, we missed ya! & don’t think at 37:41 we didn’t see the support crew in action haha
