Awesome man what did you buy? Yeah the green manuals mate are the best. Two Volumes. They are the original Holden Workshop Manuals. I’ve actually got those two plus two non genuine ones (Gregory’s and another brand). The green ones are the best. Good luck mate 👌👌

@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 Black with Matt Black stripes, centerlines, 350, turbo 350 trans, 9 inch. Love it. Was restored about 20 years ago from what a friend of mine suggested, but looking to strip and do a ground up at some stage. Is still in great nick.

Awesome bro 😎

Electronic mate.

@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 Thank's! May I ask what was your reason to prefer electronic over mechanical?

I went digital so I didn’t have to run oil into the cab for oil pressure. Running just wires is neater. The digital ones were more expensive so I guess I thought they’d be better (more accuracy). I had mechanical originally and changed them.

@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 Cool mate, thanks for letting me know! I'll take that into consideration when I do my build! ;-)

Cheers mate! Not too far until it’s finished now. 👍

lol I should have explained myself a bit better!! 😀 When I put a tester on it there’s no power flashing through the flasher unit to the indicator socket. So I’ll put some globes in and see if that completes the circuit so that power starts flashing out of the flasher unit…. Does that make sense ? Hope so haha. I’m hoping with globes it will complete the circuit and start flashing. Clear as mud I know.

@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 Yeah, but that's probably because the circuit was never completed... doesn't matter (con the fruiterer LOL), I know what you mean. You're a good man mate, thanks for sharing your experiences during the build and look forward to seeing it finished! Take care mate!

I agree. I’m not stressed about it yet for that reason. Thanks for the kind words bro. 😎

All good mate! 😀

Thanks mate. Looking forward to spending some more time on it 👍

Hey mate I work in Rail and yeah man, I’m 6’7” 😎😎😛

@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 my God 6'7 .. keep up the good work

Cheers mate 👍

@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 WOW, cool! People tell me I'm tall at 6' 2" ;-)

Haha cheers mate. 👍

Love that 👌👌👌

Thanks Bill. Certainly agree mate cheers.

Thanks mate. Keen to get into it. 👍

I think the small ones are 2 1/4” if I’m not mistaken. The big ones I think are 5” but I’ll have to check for you. I still have the boxes. 👍

Cheers mate. 👍

Cheers mate!! 👌

I’ve to say yes but I’ve just finished a four month lap of Australia with the family. Hopefully when I get back from a couple of weeks of work I’ll be able to get into it. Cheers mate.

Glad it helped you mate 🤙🤙

Thanks mate. I’m not too fussed to be fair. I do enjoy putting content out when I get time. Cheers for the comment 👌

Haha cheers mate. Na I’m not a sparky or a mechanic or even a tradesman of some description. I have worked in a mechanics work shop many moons ago. But the truth is I’ve played with bikes and cars all my life. Pretty much self taught. I’m a researcher and I like working shit out and I think I’ve got a good eye for detail. I’m pretty fussy too so it all comes together with what’s in the garage I suppose. I’ve owned the old girl since 2011. I don’t know a lot of history on the car apart from the owner before me living in the Pilbara in WA. He bought it from South Australia and it’s a Brisbane built car. It was a little rough around the edges when I bought it and I was always planning a resto. About 8 years ago a young guy ran up its arse and caved the boot in and that’s when I took it off the road and started the resto. I’ve always been a rev head and don’t care much for purity. I just want a tough old head turner to drive to take the kids to school in haha. Cheers mate. 🤙🤙

Did you watch it? 2” CRS drop spindles on the front and MotorFab low mono leaf setup on the rear 🤙

Will do bro thanks 🙏 They’re new but worth double checking it all. It’s coming in somewhere 🙄🙄🤙

I prefer to call it a ‘hair do’ rather than a hair cut 😂😂😂

@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 hehe yea just yeno, next cut better be a little more slick!

🤪🤪

Trying to wrap my head around it. So what if my driveway was on a 45 degree steep angle? (There is a slight decline there). Wouldn’t matter because all measurements are relevant to each other? Cheers mate.

@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 Yeah you’re onto it !!! That’s going to look fn nice going down the road, can’t wait to see you drive it.

@mick6485 thanks for that mate. I think the gearbox needs to be shimmed up a little. I’ll have another look at it. Cheers mate. Looking forward to driving it again 👍

Cheers mate. Yeah defs. The closer I get the longer the job list gets haha. But finishing the wiring was a massive task. The rest is just small shit compared to that. 👍

Yeah I figured that. There was a bit going on behind the scenes. That switch that I fitted was a second hand switch that I bought. Apparently it had been tested as working fine. The switch that you see the contacts on isn’t the switch I fitted in the end because the back plastic off my original switch broke when trying to put it all together. But the contacts on that second switch must be filthy inside too. Frustrating.

@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 all good auto lec myself so need any tips let me no

Thanks Legend. 👍

@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 Over time you get oxidisation which adds to a high resistance connection. An old trick I use to do is get one of those rubbers(eraser) with the pen rubber at one end and the pencil at the other and rub the pen rubber over it. Little bit more abrasive without removing contact material, or very little. Works a treat. If the contacts are really bad a bit of metho and some material over a pen end should help remove residue as well. The blunt end not the sharp end. You don't want to scratch the contact surface.

@@ozgecho3023 love your work. Cheers mate I’ll give it a go 👌👌

Cheers mate. So close. Just gotta keep chipping away. 👍

I haven’t fused the main power supply as yet. I’ve been trying to find something suitable. I realise that would be best practice. As far as the ignition goes…. I’m still a bit baffled. There shouldn’t have been any voltage drop to it. I’ve calculated all the cabling throughout the car. My research tells me that those MSD’s are known for it. I should have bought an ICE ignition. Cheers mate. 👍👍

@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 Haven't done the research on the ignition module so I'll take that on board if I end up having a dip myself.

Thanks for the support mate. 👍

@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 my pleasure mate anytime 😊 👍

The 1%’s seem to take the longest haha. Glad the wiring is done now. That was a huge job!

No.

Thanks mate. 👍

Thanks mate. I had to just keep chipping away at it. Glad the inside is nearly done. Hoping it will tidy up ok. 👌

😂😂😂 you’re not wrong mate. 👍

Thanks Legend. Appreciate it. 👍

It’s been a mission mate. Haha but it’ll be worth it in the end.

Yes absolutely. I definitely will. 👍

The last time I drove it was in 2012 and it was running a worn out 308 with a slipping Trimatic. Yeah can’t wait 😛

I’m just running Koni shocks and Caltracs heavy duty mono leaf suspension.

Thanks mate. I’ll keep chipping away 👍

Nice one mate. Pretty much what I’ve got going on. Sounds like I’m doing something right. Thanks for the advice, always welcomed 👌

Well you’re one step ahead of me having done one before!! Haha. I’ll keep chipping away at it. Good luck mate cheers for the comment.

Great comment because I was wondering about that! Thanks heaps. 👍

No good hey?

@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 me personally I think they are rubbish.

Thanks mate. Yeah I’m trying to go for that Pro Street look and I think they fit the bill really nicely 👌

I don’t mind a challenge mate. 😁😁 So long as I get it done properly so it doesn’t burn to the ground but I reckon I’ve got that covered. 👌

Cheers mate. It’s a big job but it’s probably the most rewarding when it’s finished ✅

Hey mate thanks for the message. I’m not too concerned about it for a couple of reasons. It’s not a lead acid battery, it’s a gel battery which is sealed. Secondly, the boot is going to built with a false floor, sides covered in and a speaker box under the parcel shelf. So the battery will be held in place by the mechanical fixings as well as the false floor. That battery ain’t going anywhere!! Cheers for sharing your experience though 👍👍

That’s not the first time someone has said that to me regarding g the spray cans. I will take heed and listen next time. Thanks mate.

@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 Just have a muck around with a can on half of something scrap. Then heat the can in hot water and spray the other half and see the difference.

Will do thanks mate. 👍👍👍

Lols 😜

Thanks mate. I appreciate the positive feedback 💪💪

It just depresses the shite out of me! I bought my first and only Monaro in 1978 from a dealer in Adelaide for AU$1,599.00 and that was a LOT of money for my third year of working. It was a V 5 litre manual with red interior and was 100% stock with it's steel rims and hubcaps and no towbar and stock exhaust and NO rust and full books etc. You could not give these away back then!!!! Everyone wanted Datsuns and Toyotas etc... I sold it in 1981 for AU$5,500 privately and thought I'd made a killing. What is a one owner full books V 5 litre mint cosmetic and mechanical worth now??? I'm about to throw up. Subscribed from SA! Have fun.@@htmonaroamateurbuild9267

Intro too long ya reckon? I think it’s 1 or 1.5 minutes…. Always appreciate feedback mate.

Nice one mate. I’ll have a look at them cheers John 👌
