This is one of the best series of videos ever!
That was a very relaxing 30 min, break time's over back to work.
uni nani lol i am watching this on my break from work
Absolutely. Dare I say it's more fun than MCM.
I think the horse has bolted and this will MCM in the near future....
"Rim Wreckers, This is Gary"
Funniest thing I've heard all week haha.
wrecking all the rims
LOL that phone call
Michael Graper thank God for acting
Michael Graper lololol.... Sounds like when Marty and Moog do the Gramps...
Can relate after calling the wreckers before, never straight forward lol
It was.
Its tru tho
For some reason I always imagined this is exactly how phone conversations in Australia would go. 😂 what’s it for?
Mike, you mean to tell us that your junkyard guys are different, as in - their IQ is larger than their belt size, in inches, to ours? Even if it was Marty and/or Moog that's pretty well what the majority of them are really like.
Yep, funny as hell ....... unless you have to deal with them on a regular basis and then you start to lose faith in humanity or start a wrecking yard and join them! God bless them all 'cos we'd be knackered without them ;-)
Monkey Fabrication Garage Oh yes, althought, i'm pretty sure it was Moog on the phone, and Marty making noise. :D
Monkey Fabrication Garage I'm pretty sure that wasn't really records I'm pretty sure it was Marty and Moog from Mighty Car Mods not a hundred percent just sounded like it
I was crying 😂😂 like literally this emoji
I used to go to a wreckers in Hornsby (George's) and the convos went exactly like that.
Victor Bitter it's nice to know wreckers are the same the world around.
Your name is almost a beer
Isn't George's in Greenacre?
There might be one in Greenacre, I don't know. The original George's was in Hornsby. An old Aussie dude with a foul mouth and a vivid imagination.(god love him). I'm talkin 30yrs ago.
Victor Bitter ohhh right Yea I just googled George's Hornsby because I live around there but it came up with Greenacre
I just want a full episode of you guys driving it around. It can be months after the build so you can break it in, but PLEASE do this. Also do this for the Fairlane and Skyline!
On ya lads just gets better and better
Lmao! That phone call was brilliant!! But I was sure you were going to pull a lump of cooked damper out of the gloven! Thoroughly enjoying this series, thanks guys - doing an awesome job!
There’s no way that wasn’t Marty and moog on the other end of the phone haha
Thomas Elder well you have your opinion and I have mine I know they do all kinds of funny s*** like that number about 90% sure it was them and I'm pretty sure there's a lot of other people on here that agree
LOL, reading comprehension failure...
dem boyz customs ca read my comment properly, I said it was moog and Marty on the phone
It so is!
Marty and Moog on the phone are great!!
GageGoodroad I didn’t even realise it was Marty and Moog, I thought that was a legit conversation 😂😂😂
Al's face every time he opens a box with a turbo in it is pure joy. So much love for what he does.
The wrecker phone call......That's spot on!
Glad to see Woody working on stuff besides camera work for once. Nice job guys!
Great specialised fabrication/welding technique; my welding is no where near that standard. Great job Alan.
The only points I think may help newer welders, is to use thermal indicating crayons for achieved temperature, "Tempilstik/s" is the most well known make. For a cheap, and very effective/professional heat retaining medium, then Vermiculite is easily obtainable (Fireplace/Flue retailers, and garden/plant suppliers) and cheap. Get a old style galvanised dustbin with lid to keep it in.
Ambient temperature issues: if your ambient/work shop is less than 25° C ( 77°F), then preheat, heat hold, and post heat/cooling rate will be critical. Create a hot box/semi enclosed envelope to work in, the Vermiculite can be used as a kitty litter base, and filled/stuffed inside the voids etc to retain/spread heat.
The Vermiculite comes in different chip sizes, 8 mm to 16 mm is most popular/available, and for this type of work is satisfactory, I prefer smaller size, gardening supplies have this, but cheaper wholesale.
Looking forward to more motor vehicle excellence.
"Gloven" that is some funny shit, I now hang out for these episodes even more than the MCM ones (still love them to- but really enjoy the hands on technical side of TSF) bought a cheap BA Turbo sedan which we are in the process of freshining up for some fun and runs on our local Springmount Dragstrip in FNQ, the offer of some sweet trailriding is always open if you ever come up this way, Cheers Linc
I'm diggin' the Gloven! What a top idea. From one non-welder to another; Those welds look amazing Al.
I have seriously had conversations like that with wreckers.
mitchamus me too lol
That's how 99% of time a convo with a wrecker goes
that or painter ... lol
Oh my. That phone call... I just had a phone call like that to the parts store. God damn wreckers.
Hey Al, I used to weld cast Cat manifolds for crack repair etc. in the late 90's. A suggestion for you to try, we used cast iron stick electrodes on the tig, but cracked all the flux off first. The rods didn't have the other crap steel in the centers and tigged pretty cleanly. You're spot on with the preheat and slow cool down. Love your work, love the show!
How you removed the BA from the trailer was smooth as fuck. Proper job
Never EVER stop in the middle of a hoedown!
Meanwhile, ford guys in the states would kill to get their hands on a modern straight 6.
Or just get an ecoboost engine... :)
Janne Kokko ahahaha
The 300L6's from the late 80's are nearly bulletproof and some cam work and a turbo and you can have quite the beast. Came in van's and trucks. But to have a Barra would be glorious, far more exotic than any 2J or RB over here
Carlos Rivera the 300's where designed to run on the governor all day on the big trucks. 7 main bearings and gear driven cam.
The Barra 6's will knock 1000- 1600 hp reliably with a proper build
Awesome work dudes
That turbo manifold is boss and the welding too
good to see the old school ways of packing wheel bearings . old school is the best school . no snap on packers required
funny how every wrecker in Australia sounds like moog, eh?
That was Marty
Deff marty's grampa voice
Everyone saying it's Marty are probably right. The grandpa voices sound alike to me, but it's Marty's style, i think.
Deffo Marty's old guy voice...
Moog was 2nd fella yelling in back ground lol
Loving this build. Put a holden red & hydromatic in a 60's transit in early 80's kept snapping the poor old tranny
That call with the wreckers is comedy GOLD, "Well if you don't have one it's not a replacement now is it?!"
Turbo Yoda schoolin' people since ages ago. Loving this build project, even though you dont say much Al, you say everything that is needed. Top work guys almost 600k watchers and supporters for a reason, quality entertainment, cheers guys
McGloveon....... NICE
WHATS IT FOR?! Loved the call to the wreckers :)
"have you got a VIN" lolol no luck getting a parts for a frankenstein car with a VIN
Wasn't that Moog?
Marty. Moog was the guy in the background.
Loved that call to the wreckers. Classic
"The Wreckers" are fkn Legends ! More of them.
If it is metal and can melt, you can weld it with the right prep and conditions.
That's a great dump trailer!
I'm liking your new background music for each build scene
Geeeez guys, that Junglism track you ran over the welding section was niiiiiice. Jungle for life fam!
Bahahaha! Goes for exhaust manifold & comes back with whole car 😂😂🤣🤣
Watching you pack those bearings just solidifies that you guys really know what you're doing. Most guys have no idea how to do that properly and probably never even touched one of those type of bearings
I spent 50 bucks on a bearing packer, so much easier, I used to build boat trailers and must have packed about a 1000 sets of bearing by hand, I certainly don't miss it.
I like doing it by hand. Don’t do it often enough though
I used a ziploc bag when I did my trailer bearings.
Could work it in for ages
Brett Jackson Same... i worked as a mechanic for a SeaRay dealership in my early 20's and probably did 2-3,000 by hand. Had a fancy tool for doing them and it collected dust on my bench
It makes me happy to see practical vehicles get bigger engines, more power and higher performance platforms than they have any business having. Keep doin' guys. Love it!
that phone cal was one of the funniest things i've heard in a long time. priceless!
preheat to 500-1400f, weld-cooler the better, peen the hell outa it(needle scaler) , post-weld heat dropping slowly over an hour is usually good for a small part as this. The straw color of the waste-gate flange would indicate 450-700~F.. btw 309L is for steel to stainless specifically.
Are you a welder/ > ?
316l filler will weld about anything ferrous though. 309 has a bit more chromium, which helps you not cook all of it out of the weld area, but the molybdenum in the 316l makes it weld like butter.
Thanks. I just found over the years that 316L works well on exhaust housings so use it. I don't have a big range of random fillers though.
Moog and Marty at it again....
that was a legit wreckers
mcmtv2 omg! My family (minus wife) is excited you responded. I’ll call a local wreckers tomorrow and test you! Hopefully they don’t get confused by my Canadian accent!
I love watching Al get more and more comfortable on camera. Really is turning into a great little presenter!
I love this show. It just gets better, the more comfortable you guys get in front of the camera.
This is brilliant!! HAHAHAHA!
Is there any floor even left? :)
This is definitely my favourite episode in the series. Keep it up boys! Love your work
Love that you have your own show now Alan, I've been watching since your debut on mcm and was immersed in Subaru life at that time. Thanks for making good entertainment with utilitarian lessons to take from it. a true inspiration. nice pad too, good on ya.
That's great they called Marty and Moog that was great guys
Just be grateful which side the steering wheel is on, if this was done to an American car you'd run out of foot room for the driver. I love that you came up with a whole car for 60 bucks, that's hilarious man. Buddy of mine needed a transmission for a Subaru Forester XT he had, manual 5 speed, he dug up a whole Forester X (Non turbo) for $100, was a piece of shit like the wagon you got but it got him what he needed.
With the AUD exchange rate that’s $40 bucks US lol
More like $70 unless ur banks exchange rate is rooted
Lol . Yes sir I'm a welder many many years on the job . Retired . Yes you can weld cast . A couple of tips . If you purge the manifold by blanking off the inside of the manifold except for inlet hole for inert gas and a tiny outlet hole to allow no oxygen to contaminate the weld from behind. Constant heat is the key . Use of a chrome moly SS tig wire such as a 309mo will help the weld strength of dissimilarity metals to bind . Cool down after welding must be as slow as you can make it . Heat the whole finished welded job then drop it into a drum full of builders lime so it covers all the job . Lime will hold the heat for around 15 hrs . Also keep any moisture from entering the steel . Love your work .
That phone call to the wreckers killed me 😂😂😂
The phone call is clearly Marty and Moog HAHAHAHA
Nice tips on welding! Ever considered making a tutorial video?
No, because I am not a welder. You will notice I steer clear of talking about it because the "I'm a Welder" internet culture is pretty aggressive.
Alan Butler I see.. but you have the experience. Some videos about making manifolds, complete exhaust systems, .. would be cool. You could teach us your technics and tips when doing these kinds of stuff. Even though I can weld some things, I can't even setup properly a welder lol. You being a experienced guy with knowledge could share things you know. And it's pleasing to the eyes seeing make those welds man! You being the turbo Yoda could make videos on regular turbo builds as well. Love everything you do lol. Cheers from Brazil mate!
this has to be one of the only channels that i check everyday for the next episode ! love ya work boys! and AL wish i still lived on the coast cause shit i would have had you build my nugget!
I use to weld cast fire places. I placed them in sand before and during heating. Then cover with heated sand for a few hours for a slow burn down.
Love be the glove oven, Worked a treat.
sick! love calling out the "welders" in the comment section lol
Mate before you bin that car can I have the front sway bar? I broke mine jumping over a trolley off the entry ramp at coles
MMC777 you’ll find it at Noosa Recycling centre mate
Woody thanks mate, tbh it launches better without imo iam going to try clear two trolleys this weekend but it steers really bad 👍
Picturing this on a car with "just send it" written on the side of it in spray paint.
If you're in sydney I have 2 almost new sway bars :P
What's it for?
loving the build so far hope it all goes good. goodluck guys.
Got to you guys via MCM but now hands down my fav youtube channel. Great content and insight. Thanks !
How I weld cast: Pre heat to 450 F for a few hrs, weld what needs welding using plain 035 wire, peen the welds, slow cool in a tub of sand for 24 hrs. Easy peasy
i dont think they followed these rules
turned out pretty good so meh
Dosent have to be baked or heated that long, as long as you have a good thermometer to tell the heat you just have to make sure it's uniform. I've done a fair amount of old cast repair and as long as you heat uniformly you won't have an issue. Tip though for cracks in cast iron, drill the end of the cracks so it stops the break in the metal. If you don't it will just crack again in a few heat cycles.
Same, nothing beats a used 20 dollar (US) oven off craigslist. lol
Caleb Downey works in a pinch if you don't have a proper heat blanket. Still need to keep the heat up while you are working on it though.
That call was so 'STRAYA I was waiting for a kangaroo to leap out of the phone holding a stubby.
Went like any phone call to a wreckers, spot on
I love your video intros, you get directly into doing great work.
side exhaust pls
I'm wondering why don't you have an old gas or electric kitchen oven/stove top for doing cast welding.
was thinking the same
They can take up a lot of room that can be used for other tools that you use more frequently. We had one in school for welding cast, but it was only used for small parts which didn't come through very often. Doing it with a torch isn't "ideal" but it is certainly doable if you've had some practice and have the ability to stay focused on that single job for the required amount of time.
Yeah for sure that can be handy for pre-heating and slowing down cooling but ideally you wanna use a torch DURING the actual welding process anyways. I guess you could also say they perhaps don't need to pre-heat stuff nearly often enough to warrant getting one?
MattFrmSac l
We definitely need some dirtbike stuff from you guys!
Absolutely love this series. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I wish I had 1/4 of the fabrication skill that Al has. If that was the case my ST205 track car would be a lot further on than it is now!
Mills is going to swim in shark-infested waters with a bacon wetsuit when he gets the bill.
One of the wreckers sounded oddly like Marty, playing an old man during the Gramps / Super Gramps builds....
old mate was already in his 90's when gramps came out and that was years ago, he's probably pushing up daisies now
Hahahahaha. That's true. Gramps is old, rest his soul. That was a brutal ending. :(
Another great episode from The Skid Factory...thanks boys.
Best call to a wrecker ever!
also what was that sneaking sexy look 86 i saw
Please do a 5 min episode on RM250 mods!!
It's s sweet bike
Thanks guys, great channel. Informative, entertaining, funny, great editing etc!
Excellent build guys so far , loving every episode, and love the CF van
that is such a typical wreckers convo.....
it really is, every single time
That feel when you see a 30 min video
the "Heisenberg" of the turbo world, lovin the vids, Cheers
A 1550hp stock-block L96 on Engine Masters, and now some Barra goodness from down under. Today is a good day!
I sense a BA wags build after the Bedford
Edit: Nevermind shoulda wait a couple more seconds to wait and listen.
Well I WAS going to sleep...
You guys just get better and better. Keep it up!
Keep them rolling lads. Can't wait for the finished product
Mighty Car Mods, The Skid Factory, boostedboiz, PFI Speed, cleetus mcfarland, like if you watch the same
I'm a welder guys
all hail thou
Congratulations
I thought you were an architect
Or an import/exporter?
Art Vandelay you too!
For real you guys are nailing these videos!?!👏👏👏
You know its about to go down once the music starts! Love it.

Of course people say you can't weld cast. They are unknowingly broadcasting that they don't know what they are talking about. It requires a bit more technique and knowledge than your average "home mechanic" has. Guarantee those that are saying you can't are dudes that welded cast using a 110v mig welder from harbor freight then complain about the crap result.
a c Amen to that.
Don't get me wrong, Harbor Freight welders have come up in quality and features. Not to mention you can do a lot with lesser machines.
Just thought that I would say they are showing their inexperience in the form of hubris. Perfect example of "arm chair quarterbacking"
Right on the money... the bane of the internet car culture, keyboard warriors spouting bullshit they heard from someone else spouting more bullshit
It's everywhere. Almost every hobby I have, there are snake oil salesmen, band wagoners and the perpetually stupid.
Car culture "That engine won't fit" or "This brand/make is better for XXXX Reason"
Audiophile "These $50 per foot cables sound better than those $0.50 per foot cables"
Wood working "Japanese saws are better at everything when compared to European saws"
Computers "Mac/PC are %100 the best computer for everything"
I myself find its 95% stupid, 5% malicious assholes in the car world, on the internet anyway... not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing...
Amazing Marty cameo! So good guys
Purging tanks to welding cast this guy is a wiz 👌👌
Wow nice to see some one who knows how to grease a bearing correctly
Another great episode. The wreckers bit was hilarious.
That bit with Marty and Moog as the wreckers!
You guys get better and better each episode and personalities are really starting to shine. Almost as good as the technical side. Great work guys!
This has been a really good series. Lot's of fun
Sounded like your friends at the wrecking yard were getting into the "lemon squash" a little early? Then Woody looks like he's getting ready for a "Blue Man Group" audition. This build is looking more mad with every episode...awesome!!
Great episode guys. Loved the wrecker call. Pretty much my experience every time haha.
Haha that was definitely Marty and Moog doing the wreckers on the phone hahaha awesome keep up the good work lads 👌👍
