62 year ... and still working. incredible

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Working well and eay to maintian too :-)

[@refuserevival2032]

Thanks for the shout out brother. Finished of the Toyota Tip Tour series this week. Back to van updates soon. Good tools make mistakes easier to fix. 👍🏼

[@JeffDonahueScaleModeling]

Nice video Steve. I would much rather be working on an older vehicle anytime than the junk made today. I recently bought a metric set of ratcheting wrenches, and I really like them. See you next time.

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Thanks Jeff, I also go a metric and whitworth set, nice to use I reckon. Keep on wrenching :-)

[@thebnicho]

Love the homemade spacer. :D Fan works more efficiently if it's spinning in the mouth of the cowling. That's probably why the homemade spacer was there, to align it better.

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

It's a piece of acrylic road sign or something I think, as I said, works well :-) It is still a bit misaligned a bit, I may need to move the radiator down a bit maximize the draw, seems to be running way way cooler now with the few minor mods and repairs... till the next thing goes :-)

[@conrad1468]

Green bible and parts catalogue is a must have! Great fix!!

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Thanks Cory. You are cracking along with your restoration now I see, great work.

[@rickz9495]

A old school manual just works so much better than a pdf file on a Tiny phone screen.

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Ha yes Rick, I struggle with screens, old age and glasses make it even harder :-)

[@TheMarkmoffat]

Thanks Steve. My dogs are the same with hoses. Sprinklers drive them crazy! A nice bit of guitar this week too 👍

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Good on ya Mark, Barker is the first of our dogs to have the hose/water obsession, makes watering the veggie garden a lot more entertaining, she is a clown :-) Glad you enjoyed the guitar work, been playing and writing a little more of late being stuck indoors with the weather.

[@owlpool]

Cheers Steve. With you on books

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Thanks Owlpool, I am starting to build a collection of Landy bibles now, some of my favorite reading :-)

[@mikemike690]

Hey Steve, you should invest in a socket set it’ll save you way more time

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

I have socket sets, can't have too many tools :-) these are just an upgrade on my ring spanners.

[@DangarMarine]

I wouldn't have used Permatex if I was you.

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

I rang a bloke that has a TH-cam channel and says he’s an expert and he said any old crap would do...

[@thebnicho]

@@VintageRestorationsAustralia Permatex is good. Been using it for years.

[@wombatone5577]

I use that stuff, usually only on the replacement part surface and hope for the best. Some engine surfaces are too difficult to clean up next time.

[@slowshop]

Good job mate! Those wrechet spanners are very handy indeed. I have them in metric and standard. Have to buy them twice because of a break in a few years ago.

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Bugger about having your tools pinched Martin, there are some shitbags around. I actual got a metric and a whitworth set also, loving them.

[@LandySmurf]

Nice work. I printed all the manuals off and laminated them so I can use them in the shed

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Sounds like a lot of printing and laminating Smurf, your a patient man :-)

[@LandySmurf]

@@VintageRestorationsAustralia yeah it has taken a few years.but worth it

[@dustyfarmer]

Consider fitting some copper flyscreen behind that grill to protect the radiator tubes from gravel strikes flicked up from on-coming cars. they are easily punctured & the first thing you know about it is an over-heated car kilometers from the nearest water source. Do you know about the black pepper & 3 egg white radiator leak fix?

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Good call, I will get onto that. I had heard about that patching technique but I think repairing the gasket is a better outcome :-)

[@dustyfarmer]

@@VintageRestorationsAustralia It will get you out trouble, I've had radiator leaks patched that way that have lasted years in service, I don't know if it would fix a leaky bellow seal.

[@michaeljones6832]

If the batteries for the EV conversion are to expensive what about chucking a lil petrol generator in the car, i know its not the same but if its got portable power you can get it moving and start testing. Then when a go fund me pages gets u the coins u can put batteries in.

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Motor is almost 9 kw, that's a big generator (and expense). We are going to up the effort to find a sponsor over the next month or so. Started on the gear box this week, as usual have to use 2 boxes to build one good one, it's no wonder I am time poor :-)

[@michaeljones6832]

@@VintageRestorationsAustralia Ah full on. I didnt realise it was such a big motor. Do it right, do it once, as they say. Im sure at least a few of your viewers would be happy to throw a few bucks each into the ring. Cheers mate. Thanks for the videos i love em.

[@benjohnson657]

Don't talk to stu too much about the landy, he'll talk you into putting a Detroit in it.

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Mmmmm good idea :-)
