THIS IS WHY YOUR STEERING IS LOOSE // MECHANIC'S PRO TIPS
Переглядів 538Рік тому
A frequently overlooked part when it comes to steering, if your steering column bushing/dampener is worn out then your whole steering will feel loose, this is why when diagnosing loose steering or steering wobble its best to start at the steering wheel and then work your way through the system.

This is a cool build. You are the right guy to get it done.
Looks great 👍 Solid Work
You make the rust repairs look easy. 👌
Nice metal work👍
saw you on the hulls nice work
Nice work do yourself a favour and get the blue motor electronic distributor and coil, it will get a little bit more power and better economy remember to open your spark plug gap and do the wiring mod at the base of the column so it gets 12 volts
I've had three of these Holdens, two HZ SL Sedans and an HZ one tonner. GREAT memories, thanks, take care and all the best.
Hanging for the next one!
Nice job love it all , not a fan of the scoop though
Cheers, the scoop isn't very popular
is there anywhere you can post parts and plans? thank you!
You can get the swivel hub and latch from eBay and the rest was 3mm 50 mm box I just started welding it in place no real plans
Nice job ! where did you get the new guttering from ? fab yourself?
Found it on ebay was about 80 bucks a metre
I have a WJ and would love to try to build a tire carrier like yours for it. Would it be possible to get any kind of rough sketch with dimmensions that would help me in putting one together and a source for the hardware you used?
How many days did it take you??
Take a chill pill, dude. Power on with your projects. You really couldn't force me to watch anything. Constructive criticism is sometimes mistaken for criticism alone. People who take it personally need to be accurate in what they do and how they say it, and not be so sensitive.
Haha mate you seem more offended by my videos than I of your comments, but thanks for going out of your way
If you were lucky enough to work for me, you would be the chief floor sweeper.
Where do I send my resume
Engine refresh ?. Sump gasket and a paint job. Is this what you are calling an engine refresh?. I forgot and new welsh plugs.
Sorry I forgot I forced you to watch this video and labelled the title "step by step engine rebuild" I'm just a random guy who enjoys making videos working on his cars
Did you do the ring gap. Do you check all bearing clearance. One should always use new bolts on at least the mains, rods, and heads. Did you get a bulk discount on yellow paint.
I think you've mistaken me for some engine building shop, because I'm just a guy who likes old holdens and doesn't work for you haha
I'm guessing the engine rebuild was a after thought 🤔
Was a healthy engine.... until it lost oil pressure
Looks fantastic , no sound deadening while you had the panels off ?
No I didn't it's easy to get back to them the Fitout comes out with about 8 bolts, its actually pretty quiet the modules and plywood stop a lot of the noise
These older cars just look... good, is it the proportions? the lines? The stance? There's just something about Aussie cars from the 70's that look really good. Amazing restoration on this car.
They do have great proportions, they didn't have to think about crash safety, aerodynamics, and saving metal
Sleeve valve engines used alot of oil, the old joke being, heck the petrol and filler up with oil!
Haha fair enough, its crazy that the base technology of internal combustion engines hasnt changed over the last 60 years
awsome stuff keen to see how it comes along
Cheers new video coming out soon
With that much glass, did Rocoe own it before? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha one would think
Nice, but you need music or voice not both at the same time.
Thanks for the feedback
Nice build, not sure about the hornet scoop on backwards but its your choice, neat lookin rig
Thanks 👍
I wouldn't have minded seeing the longer version of this re-build mate, just saying :)
I have the full build series on my channel!
I have the full build series on my channel!
Fantastic work 👏 👍 👌
Cheers
Great job, really impressive 🙌 Are you planning on keeping the Troopy or will it be up for sale in future?
Thank you, I am planning on using it as a camper and possibly hiring it out on camplify, but will be for sale in the future, I am currently looking for a non high top version to do up as a long term tourer for myself
Great work Zac. It just needs your logo on the top fiberglass.
Good idea!
Great job mate ,looks mint ! Guessing thats where captain Rosco got the idea of using raptor 😊
No actually I got the idea from Ross
@@Restoretoexploreonya mate
Onya Zach. Ross still has a long way to go to pay off the debt for all the electrical work though. Remind him!😊
Haha I know I'll make sure to remind him
Nice toner
Cheers
Nice job with the Raptor Zach. I see you had the ole' man helping. A little payback for the marvelous wiring job you did! Bravo. Question: can you tint some of the white raptor and spray the bull bar and bumpers as well? Cheers! Rick
Cheers Rick, they make a tintable Raptor that you can tint to any colour
Your channel showed up on life on the hulls FB page this morning. Nice job on this, look forward to seeing more.
Cheers
Ross is being very quite Zac .How did you sedate him
Haha too much Raptor fumes
Careful Jeff, I am watching.
What an awesome effort. Well done.
Thank you! Cheers!
When Ross gets the boat done ,he can sail to where you are and help with your rebuild.
Yeah it will probably be done by then though haha
dear brother, what's up? we were supposed to collaborate to grow your youtube channel. you told me to send you an email, but there are no email added in your channel. In case, if you provide me your email or whatsapp it would be easier to make a decent conversation. Thank you
You are doing an awesome job with this build. This is such a dream of mine to do a cheap troopy build. Maybe one day.
They are very fun to work on cause everything is quite basic, hopefully you get the chance on day
Looks Awesome . . . Great Job !
Thanks!
Looks great! Curious why you didnt raptor the bed before putting the floor liner in?
It didn't really need it and preferred to save the Raptor
Great week staying with you Zach, this troopie has come up brilliant.
Cheers Ross, been a good time that is for the help!
I watched your channel completely. I like your content. I would love to help you. So I made two thumbnails for you. you can use this if you want. I don't want anything from you,i want to do freely
Nice build , congratulations 👍
Thanks 👍
Is this acrylic paint?
Yes it is
Hi , your bonnet scoop is on the wrong way
Hahaha yes I've been told
