Brilliant to welcome you and your HQ to Track Day Club! Awesome vid! 🙌🏼

Some kind of auto shut off for the electric fuel pump, in case of an accident?

Probably want to run a cooler for the powersteering fluid

Lots of fun thanks for sharing the video.

Awesome 👌

Would you explain what did you mix to have that finish I need to do same job thank you

Love it

Love the still pictures, better chance to see closely

Thanks Dave. Brought back memories. Had a HQ GTS when I was 20, had it for 4 years until a drunk didn’t give way at a stop sign and wrote both cars off. Love that car…68 now and have a VF GTS nice car but reckon I would swap it for my old HQ GTS.

Man this was helpful, just when i was about to give up, the sequence of the irons is the important part. Thanks legend.

Any tips if ya inside latch has fallen in the door piller . I managed to get it back in with a quotehanger but I had to get a bolt on while holding the quotehanger to get hinge on . I took door back off ass my alignment wasn't great . I just fill I might of been lucky the first time I am wondering if there is a better way

G' day mate. Did you blast the metal or do the 3 step process? Four years later, has it held up?

Looking nice and neat. Overflow is cool.

Looking good. What brand are those V belts? Getting a lot of slip after replacing my alternator belt, like for like.

Good stuff Davo from an ex AussieV8 forum member.

I got my 5ltr built years ago with VN heads and a 355 Harrop stroker crank made a huge difference in torque and was pretty good on fuel as well.

Davo, I take it that your standard Belmont dash panel allready had the openings in it to accept the additional two smaller guages?

Can you do a long term review on the KBS coating? I'm deciding whether to go with por15 or KBS.

Great vid! Thanks for sharing. I'm restoring a Datsun 1200 vintage race car and was using a pressure gun but recently bought the exact same gun as yours. I've used it once but I now wish I'd watched your video first!

It’s been 4 years now, what your review after all this time? Is it as hard as they claim to be?

Fantastic work. How did you strip the underside?

Hey Davo, where does the earth wire on the coloum come from. Can't seem to find it. I remember disconnecting one year ago when i pulled the wiring out.

Still love the paint on this car, you did an awesome job

Good job mate, if it’s got a rope seal forget it they are shit and it’s an absolute dark art to install them correctly the only way to go is you have the block machined to take the modern neoprene upgrade….. There’s a video on UA-cam about 10 years old from COME racing showing how the rope seal is installed….. They also explain some oiling mods for a 308

G’Day Davo, I’d recommend you use a SBC rear main seal or a ZOK drop in version. Get your inlet manifold hydro blasted, it brings aluminum up like new and if you aren’t planning on pulling the heads, those umbrella style valve stem seals work well for heads that are sucking a bit of oil. 👍

The plastic overflow tank lets u see the coolant level easily. Is it harder to check the level with the stainless tank?

Got to love the HQ. Now that Holden is gone, safe to say the HQ coupe is the best looking Holden ever built.

Ever come across the problem - one of these, after having replaced all the seals, not building correct pressure after putting all back togther? i have a HJ, taken the pump apart and put back together several times. it'll pump a bit but not enough pressure...

👍🏻

My hyundai Accent makes that same sound.

If you are about to do this, take the keyway out of main pulley shaft before removing unless you want to trash your pump like I just did

Really a Very Very Nice Car , Well Done

Beautiful Car mate👌 I think she deserves chrome window washer and radiator overflow tanks. 😉

Looks good mate 👍🏻

What a beauty 🤩

Nice

What’s the ratio you did to mix KBs and spray look so good

Hey Dave, I have a GTS dash as well in the sedan I’m restoring and it was never connected correctly. Q. When you cut the wires to your warning lights and use them elsewhere. Did you ever rewire the warning lights so that they still work? I’ve got a manual, I’ve got the CD from eBay. The only thing I don’t have is the confidence to actually do it. Cheers for the video.

What an idiot, unregistered un roadworthy. Where the cops when you need them!!

Hi mate are you a spray painter ? I have the same gun here never actually used it it, I normally use a hvlp spray gun but my compressor is struggling to keep a consistent pressure, for example I start spraying the panel around 27psi by the time I finish the panel it’s dropped to about 10-13psi. I know this gun is a lvmp and I’m just curious if this would suit a 3hp 50L compressor better or won’t make a difference

are these pumps the same for HZ? if not, would the same process work for a HZ pump?

Is that the gloss black topcoat?

Stunning car

Good stuff Dave! sounds great mate, brings back memories from the super sprints we did all those years ago.

Hi ,If the factory brake lines are corroding externally I have replaced them . The lead/tin coating lasts only approx 50 years !! . Donot replace with ""bundy"" brake line ,,the coating is very very thin nickle ,it rusts quickly . I used NiCop [nickle copper. Its road legal ] Totally rust proof . I buy thru brake shop because of chinese fakes . U will need about 9-10mtrs . Its very easy to work .

hi RDA phantom pads are a performance street style pad with benefits . The race style will give MAX braking but are not that street friendly .

hi good pads are available from RDA called Phantom pads . They are ceramic which according to RDA and Bendix low dust ,low noise, low rotor wear and long lasting . Increase in max limit operating temp vs standard . Anything classed heavy duty will have poorer outcomes . The low dust is good for me as I run old school polished alloy mags unsealed . I could not find any other real good pads ie ceramic for cast iron PBR part no DB6 Disc Brake Australia does a street performance pad also but does not saY construction material . Ps your vids refresh my memory as the Qee is going thru its 2nd rebuild after 25 yrs . Thanks for takin the time .

Hz bootlid on a Q ?

Caliper paint was a dark red almost crimson . What did u use ????
