7 weeks building the ULTIMATE 80 series in 7 Minutes!

[@louis-philippegariepy9824]

Love your victory dance, I’ve done that so many times boogying all alone at night in the garage once the job is done and it roars. Good on ya!

[@skillosshed]

It’s just the simple satisfaction of achieving isn’t it 😂

[@louis-philippegariepy9824]

@ yep! When you consider everything that has to be done perfectly, step by step, so that the bloody thing runs, quite the achievement!! Thanks for sharing the vid

[@skillosshed]

@louis-philippegariepy9824 indeed. Especially if you watch that full episode and it didn’t fire initially due to the ECU, made it extra special.
Glad you enjoyed! ☺️

[@Stannos_Adventures]

Legend. Nice work 👍

[@githinji123]

This is my dream build. I would have called it the V80, but since you got there first, feel free. Well done, very well done. Enjoy your monster.

[@skillosshed]

Thank you! Yeah the whole build series was called the VDJ80 series but I’m no where near ear the first 😉

[@alanmay7929]

5:14 that engine of the 1VD-FTV is just something else isnt it ! what a bad ass build! 👌

[@sullysshed]

Nice work mate. Lots of work gone into that one.

[@skillosshed]

Thanks mate. Awesome to watch it all back

[@fakejay07]

Awesome work mate

[@skillosshed]

Thank you!

[@turkishbread2722]

That’s sick

[@scottgaskell3635]

Mate, seriously well done. What a build! Is there anything you can’t do? How many hours have you put into it?

[@skillosshed]

Thanks mate. Appreciate it. I reckon it would have been 250-300 hrs all up. But could get that down to I reckon 200

[@papanuiliew859]

1vd swap is tuff 🔥

[@Bmx200_tim]

Better then the sema builds

[@skillosshed]

🥲 thanks mate

[@enricodigenova8112]

Hope you’re well mate what do you think roughly it cost you for the conversion besides your labour

[@skillosshed]

Stay tuned for next episode in a fortnight…all will be revealed 😉

[@thetinnedhomefam7845]

Very nice. Only thing i can say to do. Is to throw oil catch can in the bin

[@squidballs44]

why?

[@gunshipanropace2gunshipand119]

Its a diesel V8 that saves time from cleaning egr system intake manifold valves etc

[@turkishbread2722]

How much to build me one ☝️ 😂

[@skillosshed]

I haven't considered doing customer builds, but am getting a few requests. Perhaps message me on Insta or email me...details on my bio. Happy to discuss. ;)

[@tubbytub2990]

Can you build me one if I get a stat write off VDJ ute to supply? How much?

[@skillosshed]

Possibly. I haven't considered doing customer builds, but am getting a few requests. Perhaps message me on Insta or email me...details on my bio. Happy to discuss. ;)

[@craigtomkinson2837]

Lovely Ep and build in your 4wd, I just wonder why you put such a complicated donk in a uncomplicated 4wd.

[@skillosshed]

Thanks mate. Yeah good question …just wanted something different. Love driving my 200 with the power so wanted something similar that was more bush proof than an LS or similar. I’ll miss the absolute simplicity of the 1 HZ but already driving it around, has completely changed the truck and it is a pleasure to drive so not displeased at all

[@craigtomkinson2837]

@@skillosshed Ok lovely stuff , our old 80 still has the 1HZ in her with around 900, 000 ks on her hopefully she gets to the Mil, I love it for my solo fishing trips up north,

[@skillosshed]

Awesome run! How good are these old rigs 🥲

[@shanevonharten3100]

Should be an awsome engine without all the pollution gear restricting it

[@V.T.F.W]

Bro! The one which you had removed was real engine! The one was installed - crapp🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@skillosshed]

All a matter of opinion mate…
