Thanks Grant, I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to comment and share your thoughts. I’m pretty excited about this one, I’ll try my best to keep the content current. Cheers😎👍
Thanks for watching and commenting Steve. It’s gonna be a big learning journey and an even bigger job, but I’m up for it. I’ll keep the content coming as I progress😎👍
Thanks for watching and commenting Greg, and you are dead right mate, this little sucker is going to soak up any free time I might have had. Having said that, I’m in my happy place! Have a fantastic weekend Greg😎👍
As you already are landcruiser owner i have no doubt you will do it justice. I found your channel with your bonnet modification series so whilst you are making this a side project it would be great to see regular updates (agianst your stated desire i know)
Thanks Darren, I appreciate your kind words mate. I’ll try and balance the 45 vids with my regular content to the best of my ability. Thanks for your feedback Darren😎👍
Hi Terry. Another cracking video and you’ve set yourself quite a challenge the! On another issue altogether now. I just can’t seem to help myself looking beyond the video presented to speculate on the presenters background. There’s no hiding that Canadian accent but your use of the Australian “lingo” is spot on. So much so in fact that I could almost second guess what you were going to say so I would call you 100% Australian! So welcome mate! You must also have some sort of mechanical / technical background to be tackling the projects you do. Whatever the case welcome to Australia and I hope you and your family have a long and happy life here. Cheers from Gippsland.
Thanks David, yes indeed it is going to be a serious challenge but I’m ready for it. Interesting that you mention my background as I was thinking about doing a short video on this, just was not sure it’s all that interesting to be honest. I’m glad I’ve got the lingo down pat, it’s taken me 25 years to get here! And yes, I’m 100% Australian, I love it hear, it’s my home and my family’s home and I would not want to be anywhere else! As for my background, it might surprise you to know that I have zero mechanical training. I did a university degree back in Canada in Chemistry and Microbiology but I have always had a love for all things mechanical. I guess if you are interested enough in something, you can always teach yourself. The only drawback is that I make bucketloads of mistakes, you know two steps forward one step back sort of stuff. Again, thanks for your kind words and for follow along, I sincerely appreciate it 😎👍
Mate, super excited to see this happen. This is my dream project as well (and I'm sure a lot of other Landcruiser lovers). Though I'm only planning to restore it to drive around the farm, not for rego. Of course that's what I say now. :) Will be eagerly watching your progress.
Awesome mate, I take my hat off to anyone embarking on a resto journey, it’s a big undertaking. Keep me in line, if I ask for advice and you know the answer, shout out because I really do mean it. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, I sincerely appreciate it 😎👍
Hi Terry, congrats to the “barn find”. You got you a very nice project, men you must have allot of spare time.....watch out that you don’t get locked out of the house... ops would be easy for you having such nice workshop garage... mate it seems your plan is going to build a “sleeper” !! V8 supercharge... 1000 hp... and you want a 5 speed manual...? We are all exited to see what you come up with next year.. take your time and do it right and don’t forget the weekly flowers for the missus. Cheers
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment Holger, I sincerely appreciate it. Great advice with the time and flowers mate, sometimes I can get sucked into something at the expense of others so you are on the money mate. I will certainly do it right, my OCD would not allow anything else. Thanks again mate 😎👍
Thanks Tieran, I’m pretty excited about this one too. One thing I have pretty much convinced myself of, and that’s the LSA. I love a big lump of a V8, and the supercharger is the icing on the cake. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, I’ll see you next vid😎👍
Thanks Drew, I appreciate you watching and commenting mate. I agree, there are a lot of interest in 40’s but I’m yet to find an LSA swap. If you can put me onto someone I would be grateful. Cheers 😎👍
Go the auto Terry, just better for sure. Glad your going the LS too. Does it have to be beige???? Really??? Oh well, its your car lol. Should be a good build mate and put up as many eps as you want, Im sure your subs will love it. Cheers Steve
Hey Terry, I think you should reconsider your decision to not make detailed vids on this exciting build. As you are aware i am a 200 series owner and i love it but have always wanted to rebuild a 40 series. Another coincidence is that my daily drive is a wm caprice with the ls2 and i really rate these engines as you do with your maloo. Id certainly be following your new build even if it meant a second channel for you as I'm sure alot of 200 owners will be doing the same. Toyota, Oh what a feeling! Cheers Eric.
Thanks for following along and sharing your thoughts Eric, I sincerely appreciate it. It’s not so much not wanting to flood my current channel with FJ45 content, but more just not having the bandwidth to run two channels simultaneously, or even just one channel with additional content. Rest assured I will try and get the balance right without killing myself or disenfranchising you the viewer. Enjoy your WM mate, nothing beats the sound of a V8😎👍
Please video the rebuild and engine upgrade. I love your 200 series and camping content, but with your presenting style and attention to detail it would be a grave disservice to humanity if you did not record the building of this lovely old lady.
Thanks for the kind words Anthony, I sincerely appreciate it. That’s a heavy burden to carry but for humanities sake, I will do my best to carry the torch😂. Cheers😎👍
hey dude, you said you werent gonna document it for the channel. Does that mean youre not gonna film work on it at all? Im not particularly into older cars, but a lot of people are. you should definately consider documenting it. maybe in the future you when have spare time (or have maxxed out the 200 with mods) u can compile the 40series videos together into a couple of really long videos for the old skool car nerds to enjoy haha
Good questions and thanks for commenting. I’ll definitely be filming and documenting it, it just will not be bolt by bolt if you know what I mean. I will try and balance current content with 45 content as best I can. You could make a whole channel dedicated to this and unfortunately I just don’t have the hours in the day to keep up both streams of content. As I said, I’ll do my best however. Thanks for watching mate 😎👍
@@JafffaAdventures youre alright mate dont forget youtube aint a job just do exactly what you want - thats how u got people watching you in the first place
Your best option is to hop on too the 40 series landcruiser owners page on Facebook all the information you need can be found right and we’ll help you with any questions facebook.com/groups/40serieslandcruiser/?ref=share
Indeed, thank you Steven. I visited them on Monday and they certainly know their Cruisers. I bit shy on information on Restomods however, so if you know of someone who has done an LSA swap let me know. Thanks for watching and commenting mate 👍😎
Looking forward to the journey this old girl is going to go on with you. More progress updates please!
Thanks Grant, I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to comment and share your thoughts. I’m pretty excited about this one, I’ll try my best to keep the content current. Cheers😎👍
After seeing you mod your 200 bonnet, I just know this car’s going to be spectacular.
Thanks for the kind words Paul, now I have a bit of pressure with such a high bar😂. I’m loving the journey so far and I’ve only just got it😎👍
Agree
Thank you🙏
Looking forward to this Terry.
Thanks for watching and commenting Steve. It’s gonna be a big learning journey and an even bigger job, but I’m up for it. I’ll keep the content coming as I progress😎👍
Awesome Terry! This will keep you busy on the weekends mate. Can't wait to see you rebuild the old girl.
Thanks for watching and commenting Greg, and you are dead right mate, this little sucker is going to soak up any free time I might have had. Having said that, I’m in my happy place! Have a fantastic weekend Greg😎👍
