Currently these video's are made in our spare time, which is why it takes so long for each to be completed. It is very much the Play job, rather than the Pay job.
Any funds received very gratefully, and will help us to produce more content, faster.

I was just going through my channel analytics and for some reason, do not ask me why, but I felt like I should click on your channel and check it out. Man oh man, I am sure glad I did. First off it is an honor to have you as a subscriber to my channel, and I am really digging your content man!
G,day Jed, yes I have subbed to your channel and yes I have been enjoying the Mopar madness!
I was a young teen when The Dukes of Hazzard burst onto our tv screens way back in the early 80's. Like many others we had our eyes opened to American Mopar Muscle cars. We didn't have cars like that on the market down here. I have kept a fondness for Dodge 60's/70's muscle cars ever since. Your comment has actually floored me, as a little home grown channel way down under, we seem to be invisible to the global scene. Most Aussie channels are struggling with subscriber numbers and views. To me you are a huge channel and your compliment is quite frankly very humbling. So thank you very much. Love your "good ol boy" attitude, and I keep expecting uncle Jesse or Bo and Luke to walk in on your video. Cheers Rob.
@@robsshed you keep on making the content you are, and the audience will fill in. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and all of the little tips and stories you had to tell. Keep up the excellent work my friend
What a champion mechanic and also film editor.

Love the deluxe model handlebars for steering 😂😂😂
The humble vice grip, definately one of the most versatile tools ever made. 😉
Hi Rob, I once sheared the end off a head stud (level with the top of the head) whilst torquing the head nuts down on my 66 Alfa Romeo. I undid all of the nuts and removed the head to expose the sheared off stud. I used two pairs of vice grips to lock onto the broken stud like a T handle and was then able to unscrew the stud out of the (alloy) block. The vice grips certainly saved me a lot of grief that day.
Hi guys. Thank you for answering my questions about your junk. It's nice to know that Steptoe and son,,,,and Debbie are alive and well and living in a land down under. I like watching you work on your stuff and I understand most everything you are talking about so that's good 👍. It's nice to get to know you folks. I'll keep on watching. Enjoying it all.
I have spent most of my life involved with restoration and modification of cars, so most of these old cars were donor cars for other projects. Without youtube I guess they wouldn't have had the chance to run again. Thankyou for watching and commenting. Cheers Rob.
Good onya cobber, keepem comming.🤠
Thanks Rob enjoyed the video. 👍
Hi rob I’m Peter from Perth west Australia too
Cool
Brought back some memories of a bug and combi nut we had as a family friend. Spent plenty time in the scrub pulling motors out of wrecks and having them in and running the next day as a kid not so long ago
Very cool! Awesome video Broski
You are the number one man, l remember a few years back l camped next to a VW combe that had a Subaru engine in it and the radiator was on the front bull bar,the gentleman lived up north Queensland and blow two engines before converting it because of the Queensland weather.😁😁
Exactly, had to put a relay on starter-76 microbus

Whats so sad in 2022 is the average 16 year old would not have a clue what is going on here, the skills here are just fantastic and yet normal to "our" human vintage...
No3 is the one that runs hot and burns valves out first and eats pistons occasionally
I’ve seen a Kombi go up. I’ve got a photo if you want to see. It turned into an inferno in minutes
Yes please on the photo.
@@robsshed okay I’ll email it
@@robsshed I sent a message with my email to your Rob’s Shed website
I am thinking of using film capacitors next time I need to replace a condenser. The discussions I have read don't seem to have any issues with the film capacitors.
Hi Rob, just subscribed but have been watching your channel a long time. Have you worked on any rotaries in your time and when do we get to see the Holden you just bought from Adelaide?
G,day mate I will get some footage of Al's Holden very soon, but as far as rotaries go I have very little experiance. I have changed sparkplugs, overhauled starters and alternators, but never been inside one. I have fond memories of a 929 coupe second hand import that was a whole lot of fun to test drive after servicing and tuning. Cheers Rob.
I test drove a turbo RX7 in the 80s but still the hardest accelerating car I have driven was a turbo Starion.
It is number 3 , this engine is a duel port which ran a doghouse cooler that is offset so the cam on the distributor is normal. First imports 1954 ,a few split beetles late 53 did come as demo's
Thanks for clearing that up, I was swinging on 2 or 3. Also once you mentioned the offset cooler it all comes together. For years I have heard of people fitting vw distributors to hotrod Ford model A engines, clearly dizzies from the twin port engines. Cheers Rob.
Being an auto electrician and you have a Gemini-great car Isuzu engine e. Did you have the fuel pump fail. We did several times in heavy traffic until I removed the resistor under the glove box never did it again.
Would you have picked that up because nobody here could.
Our car is a TG with a mecanical pump, so no worries there. When they were newer cars I attended many break down call outs to Gemmies with fuel pump failure. Every case it was brushes worn out in the alternator. These earlier cars need the alternator to be charging to hold the fuel pump relay in. I would short the relay to drive the car back to the workshop. ( Back then no one had tilt trays like today.) Cheers Rob.
Great stuff love the stories.
Only solution I got was new fuel pump, they were lucky to have your know how.
What's your views, do you think we are going to be All electric vehicles or are they holding out with alternative fuel.
I really don't know........
ein käfer läuft immer,egal wie lang er steht
We have a whole heap of old sidchrome shit but they have seen there fare share of use and owners most of em the chrome has worn off
I absolutely love this content guys. Fantastic job. Rob's a great person
Are you getting paid for your adds or did they just appear without your permission like what's happened to me ?? And i have no idea what to do about it. Any advice will be helpful mate
We are monetised with youtube, and are paid for the adds. Don't know what the goal posts are now about being monetised, but we had to have a 1000 subscribers at the time, and go through the process with youtube. Hope this helps you. Cheers Rob.
@@robsshed cool but still have no idea how to start the process is with youtube. What is the best steps involved or even step 1 ?
Do you drag these cars in for something to do or were they on your property prior to buying it?
I have been in the restoration business for most of my life, these cars were bought , obtained or left here for parts for other projects. My greatgrandfather took up this property in 1928, but the cars and machines are all down to my father and I. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Rob.
@@robsshed No worries, appreciate the reply! My mate has relatives in Busso, nice part of the state.
