Hello and welcome!
Just another bloke who loves cars that’s decided to jump in front of the camera and document my builds. I build cars for the average bloke. Because like a lot of you. I don’t have tens of thousands of dollars thats why I do everything myself.
Been building cars for the better part of ten years and learnt a thing or two along the way. I’ll try my hand at everything and everything from welding and panel beating to mechanical. Nothing scares me too much these days when it comes to cars.
Hopefully you can take something away from the videos
Enjoy, Jake.

think those barra engines are pretty popular in the overseas markets
Came across your channel the other day and subscribed and loved the videos ive watched so far, no matter what ya do mate someone will always have a opinion so just keep doing what you love man!
Great vk v8 commo wagon 👌. The usual hate on social media good you ignored it
Ah thanks for the video there Kyle's brother..i would frequent U pull it since they started here. Here's a video I did years ago when you saw rows of valiants in them. ua-cam.com/video/EY91Wu5clYk/v-deo.htmlsi=Uw6fhikemUJ50WNG
No worries Peter who knows Kyle. That’s crazy you wouldn’t see it like that again in your lifetime. How things have changed.
19:25 hillman minx estate.
What would I need all together to do a carby swap to my VK efi? Thanks
Inlet and exhaust manifold, carby You have to re route so vacuum lines too. Once all the efi and or cruise control is off the engine it’s quite simple.
@V8JakeC alright sweet do I need to replace the Efi wiring harness?
I didn’t. I ended up just tucking a whole heap out of the way.
11:05........"it's got the 2-6". That was the only engine they were ever given! The only variances were a choice between carb or EFI.
11:03.......i had a TP sedan in red. Nice to drive and look at. Was a piece of rubbish, though. My little RC Colt 1-6 would run rings around it performance wise. Also had HG Kingswood, VK Commodore wagon and XE Falcon 3-3 four speed which i turned into a 4-9 auto after getting bored with the sixes lack of sound and character. If i could have any of my old cars back, it would be my 1979 Mazda 323 1-4.....red with brown interior. Very reliable, and made you be involved as a driver. Tiny cars a fun to fang around in.
Despite the skinned knuckles, bloody scrapes, puncture wounds, misplaced 10mm sockets, and etc. I still enjoy it most of all. My wife has heard me dog-cuss a car and she’d ask why do I work on them then; through clenched teeth I tell her, “Because I enjoy it!”
Mate just wanna say your videos are gold. This and others helping me build my wb ute. Although my calipers are a different girlock, this video helped immensely. Here's to backyard builds 🍻
Cheers mate appreciate the kind words 🙏🏻
I can feel this video. Or when crud falls straight down into the eyeball haha
Factory had V8 engines in them
UA-cam is the worst for strange comments. So many weirdos.
That comment was fecking stupid. Must have been gay and loved fords😂
😂 Every car deserves a V8!
That’s my thoughts exactly.
I don't even get the blokes angle, I think someone putting a V8 in it means its in the right hands...
All they are is keyboard warriors mate you do what you want to your car
je 2.0 litre camira
Mate they are just bored people.keep up the good mate
You shouldn’t v8 swap your old commie wagon…. and why the fuck is that exactly?
Get it done you legend! Looking forward to seeing more videos. All the very best for 2025!!
I have people say that about my one toner I just think they are very jealous 😅
Troll comments while probably walking
🤣🤣🤣troll a troll
Don't listen mate ,far as I can see ya doing a good job,there's always dick heads out there
The Red VN SHOULD SAVED!!!! $1800
The car at 19:37 is a Ford Anglia of 1962/3 . The predecessor to the Ford Escort. The car next to it is an Austin from the 1950s. By the way the first car you saw that you thought was a Vauxhall is correct . Its a 1964 Vauxhall Viva the predecessor to the very early Holden Torana
Cheers for the clear up. Watching back on the footage when I was editing it I was like that’s a ford Anglia I dunno why in the moment I didn’t realise what it was.
1951 Austin A40
Bumper coat in a rattle can works and simple to use
Its lacquer it can’t get much simple then that. More cost effective too if you have a gun and compressor.
It’s like they don’t spray any under coating or rust inhibitors during manufacturing like in the USA, all rusted in strange spots!
Not in Australia we don’t get the undercoating like you do in the USA most of these cars here are by the sea. So it’s the worst of the worst for condition wise.
Where’s all the damn trucks at?
No truck in Australia as makers in the US didn't want to build right hand drive trucks. And to this day still don't.
At first i was wondering why so many right hand drive cars 😂😂
That was a Nissan 300C or Nissan Cedric. 1980-1985 VG30e power!
Glad someone could clear it up. Never seen one before in my life. But I’m a fan of the shape.
@V8JakeC I've had 2 of them up here in QLD. Japan President had one in 1984.
Ive seen that HQ, it used to be a Upullit at Lonsdale. (price was higher than $2k when I went there, the owner reckoned the value was in the bumpers and wouldnt sell separately. Its absolutely munted. Only a shop could afford to fix it and the money they wanted was off the scale. good luck fixing that without eating cabbage for the rest of yr life. The Vauxhall is a Viva The problem with Upullit is that the morons phuque up the rest of the car when they destroy everything to get a $5 part. Ppl are too phuqueing stupid to undo clips on looms and interiors. Theyd rather shatter perfectly good panels to get a part and then p\huque it up for anyone else go to upullit at gilman, most cars are undercover and ppl dont seem to ruin them as much getting bits off
I’m interested to know what the intial price was. It looked very buildable to me. And for 2k I would have thought it would get snapped up. As for the bumpers comment that’s funny as at the front of it was a hz bumper. If that’s what the owner referred too. I don’t know how they’re still allowed to operate like they do. I would have thought someone would have gotten hurt by now and sued.
@@V8JakeC when I went through over a month ago trhey wanted $3500
The only reason that camira was missing a motor was because someone wanted an anchor for their boat. They were a pig of a car. You might have to bribe someone to get into where those HQ wagons were.
I doubt someone would have went to all that trouble for that. I did say I wonder what I have to do or who I have to do to get back there with the hq wagons.
Not all 179 motors were HP, standard motors were stamped 179.
Sigmas? no sigma!
I would of raided it if there was one
At 2mins, that's a Vauxhall Viva.
I had a gazelle exactly the same colour as that. Factory FJ20T .sick car. Thanks for showing
There’s not a lot of them left I would assume. I can’t say I’ve seen one in a while.
Blows my mind some of the cars you see at UPullit... And even those tards that crush cars in the outback instead of stripping the motors out of the and selling overseas...those old LandCruiser motors fetch big money selling into asia
I really didn’t expect to see half the stuff I saw there. I had looked up stock beforehand so I knew there was some first gen commodore stuff but everything else was a surprise. I don’t doubt they do at all. I support a young lad who works at a local wreckers and they send out barras all across the world. It’s pretty crazy.
Theres one in Bargo NSW that has a lot of really old stuff.
Never heard of that one, I’ll Have to look it up
Alot ground footage
It was incase I tripped and had to sue 🤷🏻♂️
That red vy ute was a manny 6cly I got some goodies of it
Judging from the wheels someone loved it at some stage.
I'm in Melbourne, i've a HZ Premier 78 wagon for sale, restoration project. Starts, runs, no reg, $11000 ono
Austin Freeway. Vauxhall Viva. 200B POS. I have no idea why the Commodores are popular. The early Commodores were just Kingswoods with a small body, until the Nissan powered VLs. The later ones were noisey and just feral machines. The Geminis were a great car. The little Isuzu motors were fuel efficient and totally reliable. Starfire four, six cylinder with two cylinders cut off, POS. Forget the Fords. Post XE all the head gaskets leaked. ‘One of the best cars ever made…’ You obviously know nothing about automotive engineering. The square arsed TN Magnas were total POS. Transmissions were a nightmare. PT Cruisers might have been an abomination but they were better than f..king Magnas. Camira…the less said the better. Pug 504 brilliant car. Galant, an AMI build are a great car. One of the best out of Chrysler or actually Japan. Hillman. Austin A50. Triumph shitbox. After the Gazelle was a Toyota Cressida late 70s early 80s. Toyota Celica. Look after them and they go forever. Pretty much any Toyota is better than any American, Australian made car. Interesting vid. Lonsdale U-Pull-It on any day over 30 degrees is like hell on Earth.
Had 2 tp dagnas transmissions were fine
Obviously didn’t get the sarcasm with ‘one of the best cars ever made’
Love those boxy magna wagons
Had a tp wagon. Great car
When I was a kid they were everywhere.
Wanker, I didn’t see any HQ
14:10
Check the upullit website yourself then. 😂
Did you try looking harder?
Open ya fkn eyes!
There's actually a Toyota land cruiser there at the Lonsdale yard with a VB red 202 in it and seats.
I must of missed that one. I didn’t venture back into the 4wd section. Not usually my cup of tea.
I gotta get over to SA, Melbourne yards don’t have that amount of oldies, and when they do, they’re picked completely clean in minutes!
A lot of these are heavily picked over, and with the way of the world I don’t think they’ll be a lot of Australian made cars at wreckers in the next 10 years.
Those wreckers are full of shit cars from the 80’s/90’s you just don’t see anymore 🤣
Best thing about this vid is the White Zombie in the background while you’re fitting the gearbox🤘🤘keep up the good work mate
Wondered how long it’d take for someone to pick up on that. Astro creep 2000 was their best album 🤙🏻
@ definitely was mate and I can recognise that I Zombie track anywhere, thanks for the reply
Poor old car, looks like it found a bad home. the car is not deserving a v8 it's deserving a better home.
You’re right it does deserve a better home. I think I’ll have it crushed.
