It's always fantastic to go visit Phil and Liiam, they do some beautiful work, we send our cars here when it's required and never have an issue with them
Been an absolute joy popping by. I’m hoping to make it a regular visit if they don’t mind. Got to get out of Melbourne a bit earlier before picking up my daughter from school. Make sure you subscribe and hit that notification bell so you don’t miss out on ep2. Coming soon
Had my Xf stripped down to the firewall, rust done then stitched back together, rust in the same place on the top of the pillar roof areA , ten grand to fix . Still needed sills etc on my Ute . Front of sills done but another ten grand to replace all the rest. V8 falcon Xf . Is what it is.
My dad had a red xy gs falcon toploader lsd 250 2v. It had foctory bonnet pins like the xw gt but the pins were small. On the glove box it was engraved gs never seen that before and factory sqaure tip exhaust. It used to chirp first to second gear. It was faster then alot of v8s. What a car it was never seen one like that
@@daniellebcooper7160 I’ve been a member of my local xw XY owners club for the past 40 years … I have picked up a thing or two… So what’s your genius based on ? I’ve probably owned more of these than you’ve had hot dinners Gts included
I think I recall either David or Dan at Grand Tourer mentioning the GT’s getting something a little extra special in the rust resistance department in one of my earlier videos. Might be dreaming it though.
@@davesclassicgaragetours My father worked out at Ford Broadmeadows in those days, in the parts department; which was a separate building to the production line building. According to him, there was only ONE production line at ford Broadmeadows in those days. Each car was sent down the line, with various parts being attached to the shell according to color codes; but there was NO special rust treatment to any car, regardless whether they were a standard falcon 500 or a GTHO. I'm very skeptical when i hear stories now days regarding GT's & HO's, especially after reading what Aussie Muscle Car Sales push to get more money for their cars...like that 'phase 4' they sold recently. They said it had extra welding done on it at the production line. Even though John Wynne, head of Lot 6, had said that all extra welding was done at Lot 6. I mean NO offence to you or Bat Man Lives personally, i just try to keep history as factual as possible. Best regards DBC.
Don’t know how I feel about patina paint work? If you’re paying for it to drive like new but still have to pay to look like old when it could look like new? I’m confused? Love this video and love the channel! Nice one Dave.
My old Merc TE will be getting the treatment one day on its roof. It’s mostly in great sun baked condition, a real original car except up top. The little old lady who owned it before me in Canberra didn’t know she’d been egged twice on the roof. If it can be made to look like the rest of the car, I’ll be a lot happier. Plenty of pristine examples out there but agree to do a whole car seems a bit OTT but if you’ve got a line up of show cars …and the money, why not?

I’ll take that. Thanks Glen
Nice video mate, look forward to your next one.
Thanks. Have you seen Pt2 from TTT?
I love that last line about they should be driven!!
What a great eposode Dave! I've been watching since you started and this one tops the list for me. Phil seems like a ripping fella 👍
Thanks Matthew. Great to hear from you. Yep, Phil definitely seems to have struck a chord. His enthusiasm is quite infectious.
What a super rare car!! XW GS factory sun-roof v8 track red.....awsomme.
Great video mate! Very enjoyable
Thanks Nathan. Glad you enjoyed it.

And Phil is a really good bloke too
Great job on the video, really liked it also the guy you visited and his attitude 👍👍
Yep Phil is a diamond and thanks for the comment

Good job matey!
Keeping it real Fernando. We ought to chat
What a great channel
Thank you. Glad you’re enjoying it.
Yellow really suits that XW.
Sweet
This guy's bloody awsome. If i the cash...
Restos take sooo much work. Also big fan of patina cars. Shinny cars are everywhere. Yawn.
Cheers for vid.
I’m definitely a fan of the original unrestored look.
The genuine gt/ GTHO were EPD dipped at the factory and so are fairly resistant to rust
The non genuine ones… not so much !
Where did you hear that one from, Australian Muscle Car Sales perhaps, they make up their own crap????
@@daniellebcooper7160 I’ve been a member of my local xw XY owners club for the past 40 years …
I have picked up a thing or two…
So what’s your genius based on ?
I’ve probably owned more of these than you’ve had hot dinners
Gts included
The first wild Violet cars had to be called back due problem s with the paint.

Isn't Patina, another word for Rust!
Tom”a”to - Tom-“ah”-to. Could be sun damage, lacquer peel, a dent or ding
Patina is french word for polished turd
Patina is french word meaning polished turd
Rusty- Gaping Hole! Either way definitely needs repair
Think u mean bored out to 357 not stroked mate
Ah well.
C10 auto ????
Where all Bibs tributes ex police cars?
Great Ep Dave cheers
Many thanks
Are they taking on new work?
If you’re from Gippsland, you’ll likely have to join the queue but give them a ring
