Welcome to my channel, here I'll be posting slideshows and videos of my 1972 HQ Holden. The car will be stripped to it's bare shell and slowly be repainted and rebuilt on a tight budget. All work will be performed by myself, with safety coming first. I have owed the car since 1989. Sit back and enjoy.

Brilliant to welcome you and your HQ to Track Day Club! Awesome vid! 🙌🏼
Thanks, had great day. Fixed a number of minor problems ready for the next meet.
Some kind of auto shut off for the electric fuel pump, in case of an accident?
I've been thinking about that, not sure how to do it. I'll have to look into it.
Just found a inertia safety cut off switch on eBay.
@@davohq1724 Cars running on LPG have a switch fitted that shuts off power to gas solenoid if engine not running. Maybe u could use that perhaps.
@@Hazzy238 I found a inertia cut off switch on ebay. Ordered it today
Probably want to run a cooler for the powersteering fluid
That will be my next step if the new pump and race fluid fails.
I've just ordered a oil cooler online. Thanks for your suggestion.
Lots of fun thanks for sharing the video.
No worries
Awesome 👌
Would you explain what did you mix to have that finish I need to do same job thank you
With the brush on paint, I just used it straight from the Tin. When sprayed on, I mixed it with 10% Thinners.
Love it
Thanks mate. I've heard it's a great drift track
Love the still pictures, better chance to see closely
thanks mate, some videos drive me crazy
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.
I love the VF GTS. The best model ever. The HQ is no where as powerful as the VF, but they are fairly light at 1400kg and handle good if set up properly. I'm getting ready to take mine to a track day in June. I'll put up a video when I do.
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?
Yes, I blasted it first. I then used the rust seal, then blacktop. 4 years later, it still looks good.
@@davohq1724 good to know. I'm going to do my chassis, bit follow the method of removing excess rust scale then following the 3 step system. Fingers crossed
@@bigfellasydney6970 I did my chassis in the 3 step method. Let it dry for at least 7 to 10 days before you touch it or move it. It takes a while to harden.
@@davohq1724 thank you mate
Looking nice and neat. Overflow is cool.
Thanks mate. I would highly recommend it.
Looking good. What brand are those V belts? Getting a lot of slip after replacing my alternator belt, like for like.
Dayco 15450 is whats written on the belt@@Shauny808
Good stuff Davo from an ex AussieV8 forum member.
Thanks mate 👍
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?
The steel frame behind the plastic facia, on all models should have the smaller openings for gauges.
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!
Thanks mate, I'm still learning, but I'm getting better
It’s been 4 years now, what your review after all this time? Is it as hard as they claim to be?
the car has only been registered for about 4 months now. So far the paint has been great
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.
I think it's part of the wiring loom. connects to the ignition switch
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. 👍
Thanks mate, I might try the Hydro blast.
The plastic overflow tank lets u see the coolant level easily. Is it harder to check the level with the stainless tank?
True, but they are crap. The one I have ordered is a 1 litre capacity.
Got to love the HQ. Now that Holden is gone, safe to say the HQ coupe is the best looking Holden ever built.
That's for sure
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...
@@davohq1724 no worries, I check it to make sure. Thanks.
👍🏻
My hyundai Accent makes that same sound.
I wish my Hyundai Imax did
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. 😉
Maybe one day. I just want to get it on the road. Just found out that I have to do the rear wheel bearings.🙂
@davo hq OH Bummer, Yes the transport really go over everything with a fine tooth comb ay 🤨
@@andywright2606 you're right there. I had 8 inch rims before these, not aloud. The Hq also sat about an inch lower at the front, so I had to put higher springs in.
@davo hq Yes, an absolute pain in the ass they are LOL
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.
I left the brake warning light as it's for the hand brake. I also left the warning light for tha alternator
@@davohq1724 thanks mate. will do the same..
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
Hi mate, I'm not a spray painter. Are you measuring the pressure at the gun or the compressor? I've got a 100 litre compressor and it just manages to spray a door before it starts up again. Ideally I would get a compressor more than double the size I have now.
are these pumps the same for HZ? if not, would the same process work for a HZ pump?
I'm not 100% sure. Best bet would be to get a HZ workshop manual. It's cheaper to download one from ebay. The Pumps are probably the same over the different models.
Is that the gloss black topcoat?
Stunning car
Thanks mate 👍
Good stuff Dave! sounds great mate, brings back memories from the super sprints we did all those years ago.
As soon as it's finished, I'm driving it to your place 😁
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 .
I purchased my brake lines from Andrew Lee on a HQ Facebook group. Replaced the lot as well as all the brake hoses.
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 .
I'm going to have 2 sets of pads and discs. One set for the street and one set for the track. Same with tyres.I won't be doing any high speed cornering or braking on the street, just cruising. I used to do track days and hill climbs with the 4 wheel disc set-up I'm currently using, and it stopped quite well. I was using Arrow pads back then. Can't find them any more.
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 ????
