The HQ Holden was a very good looking car. As a teenager at the time I didn't appreciate how good they looked. I was still hung up on EH, HD and HR Holdens.
@@NoelHaverly all very cool looking cars 🍺🍺👍
Well aren’t we spoilt Mick a whole nearly 2hours and entertaining and informative as ever. Loved it mate.
Keep at it.
Cheers Scott and yep I’m at another already mate hahaha
🍺👍
Even though I grew up in the era of the Holden Kingswood & my own father had an '81 WB ute with a 202, I still get a shock each time I see how much room there is under the bonnet of an old 6 cylinder Holden! These must be super easy to work on compared with modern era stuff & their jam-packed engine bays.
They sure are easy to get at mate , very simple.
🍺🍺👍
Ah the birds, the compressor and the hot to touch things, great stuff as always
Hahaha
Cheers mate👍🍺
I still love these old wagons, for a tradie they were very useful. A proper roof rake on one of these, you could carry lots of timber etc .Love your show Mike. By the way when you folded down the back seat, the floor pan was the same as a ute, Insurance company would only insure a wagon because you could lock them. Thanks
@@SimonManning-z5c cheers simon🍺🍺👍
love these long style vids! Great job, would never get sick of watching these.
Thanks Jack I appreciate ya saying mate
🍺👍
She is a Time Capsule it come up really awesome good job Mick
@@petergill8819 cheers mate🍺🍺👍
A bloody good watch, mate. Great to see the engine come back around from being down a couple and I didn't know about that little trick with the lifter. Will remember it if I come across another one that's not doing its job as it should. I've not seem a Q that tidy in the body since me Grandad sold his one 30 years ago. He'd had it since new, done 170-odd thou kms in it and the only reason he moved it on was that she was getting a bit big for him, so he went and bought a low km VK which he drove until his eyes packed up. The old Kingy had a few light battle scars, but nothing terrible and the 202 still had 40psi at idle. She was a 3-speed column change and I loved the old beast. Kicking myself ever since that I never bought the darn thing, because I probably never would have sold it. I could have had it for peanuts and all, as they weren't worth the ground they were sitting on in the early 90s. That wagon was surprisingly good bodywise - and even the interior wasn't terrible considering the sun damage 50 years will do to it. Looks grouse on the Cragars too. Really enjoyed watching it all come together. Just a pity I probably couldn't afford to bring her over here when she's ready! All the best, Mick.
Cheers mate , yeah if only we knew back then what they would be worth now .
Thanks for watching again mate 🍺🍺👍
Love the wagon, great work on bringing him back to life. Just one small suggestion from an aircraft mechanic, regarding the bolt on ball joints, you should always where possible have the threads down so that if the nut should happen to wind off the bolt won’t drop out.
🍺👍point taken mate cheers🍺👍
Love ya work mate. Fingers crossed you find a old Valiant to save.
I’ve bought a VE sedan mate and maybe an Ap6
🍺👍
@@backshed5295 feck yeah, bring on the Val's. This'll become a full time job soon.

Can't believe you pulled that wagon from a wreckers. That's the cleanest rust free car I've seen I reckon, what a gem. How tuff does it look now. Crying out for a Chev small block to finish it off.
I 100% hear ya mate , I do have a 327 in the shed but I also have my hands full with the HQ ( Mucus ) sedan and its big block Chevy but I guess ya never know Hahha

Another great movie video - thoroughly enjoyed it. I've told every one of my car mates to check out your channel.
Cheers David I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it mate .
I hope this video ( and all of them) was watchable or some what entertaining.
Cheers mate 🍺🍺👍
So good to see you back mate! What an awesome find that wagon was. I can't believe how rust free it is. I was unsure of leaving the patina but with that 2 Pak clear, it looks fabulous. Brought back memory's of working on Q's in my younger days, particularly the good 'ole 202. Back in the day we would be camming, porting and polising, rolker rockers etc. but it's so good to see an original 202 Q as a great survivor cruiser. Particularly the wagon. I had a couple of these in my early days. Could fit people as well as surfboards and you could crash out in 'em after a few too many. Good times. Oh and I also remember the struggles with upper control arms. 😂😂
Hahaha cheers David
🍺🍺👍
Had a Kingsford wagon with a253 init a premier wagon also with a253 a sedan with a202 a hj sandman with a308 a monaro also with a308 but there al gone now long ago wish I had one of them back like your videos very informative

I don’t usually watch car content that is this long but you did a good job so I watched the entire video and enjoyed it so I subbed thanks for the content. It’s cool to see content from down under. The big 1970s G.M wagon in the states also went by the name Kingswood although it was a much bigger car it was available with the 454 b.b.c it was so big.
Thanks mate I appreciate it
🍺👍
I think this wagon is a great
Candidate for a tuff 308👌
Your 100% , it’s got a look but it would be on another level if it had the sound.💪🍺👍

Cleaned up real nice. Well done. Make Somborne a good ride. 👍 normally don't like gloss clear coat. But it pulled it off. I guess it won't be loaded with five people and a trunk full of goodies. Tyres will be rubbing. Maybe needs some air shocks. Just in case you fill it up with Castlemain xxxx. Lol. Have a good one. Looking from sweden.

Why is it I get emotional watching your excellent work unfolding, maybe because my dad used to drive HQ Holdens as Taxis.
Seriously, NO-ONE is doing anything half as good as you, Period!!
Not sure what to say Stephen , I’m glad they bring back memories mate and a lot of these cars do exactly that for me too eg ( episode 13 my pops car, episode 21 my little Corolla etc etc) I guess sometimes that’s where the love of these old cars come from cheers also for enjoying what I do to them mate a few of the rescues have gone onto much bigger and better things than where I found them ( the Xb coupe etc) Thanks for watching Stephen ,stick around and please share on your social pages mate. 🍺👍

Old tricks were putting in diesel oil to free up stuck lifters or one that was passed onto me, at idle actually spray carby cleaner down the side of the pushrod at the lifter, presumably followed with a few revs.
Back in the nineties at a car yard there was this customers Commodore wagen, black motor, at least as I recall. It was decided it needed new lifters which were fitted but wouldn't stop making noise. The older mechanic came over and did the 'I'll show you what you need to do', and reved the nuts off it till there was no more, so that was the opposite end. Ran fine after that, we checked, customer service..
Yep older diesel engine oils have much higher detergent % so they are good for that . Believe it or not that’s what I put it in, Ci4 diesel. I’ll get back onto it the next time the HQ is in an episode but for now I’m just happy it ran hahah
Cheers for watching

Rubbers and seals make a massive difference! She looks awesome on the Cragars 👍
Are the rear door trims Belmont on Kingswood? They have no arm rests.
They are the originals mate . I’m not that clued up on what came with what trim but I can say what you see there is how she left the factory as some of those trims had never been removed.
🍺👍
@@backshed5295 Stock No arm rests on wagons rear doors so that the rear seat can fold down.
That makes sense steedsy
@@steedsy71 good tip mate, ill have to remember that 👍
The Premier wagon had armrests on the back doors. The seat still folded down, but you had to open both doors first. The Kingswood and Belmont trim levels meant you didn't have to do that step. If the rear door trim is removed, you can see the factory holes for the armrest mounting screws, are present on the door trim board, and the door. All that is needed to be done to fit armrests, is to punch out a hole the vinyl on the door trim. The arm rests are the same as on the sedan, so only window and top half of the door is different. The poverty pack Belmont had no armrests on any of the doors, and not even the door switches to turn on the dome light.
