Progress continues, the roof is totally finished, firewall complete and other progress updates. I give my theory on why only some Holdens have a access plate for the fuel sender and recall another childhood memory from this car.

Did I chop up a car that could have been Saved???

I needed some wheel housings to save a massive amount of work fixing my ones, I ended up with a complete Hq wagon shell that would also supply other required rust cuts. But did I chop up a car that could have been saved?

Fantastic work, gotta love a hq👍👍
This is sorta bloke who can make HK Monaro quarter panel from a flat bit of steel like my cousin Dean Prodger
How it’s done ✅ proper
Finding a decent sandblaster that knows what he’s doing is rare in today’s world 🌎
@@michaelbyrnes7944 this guy takes care and loves old cars.
Yummy 🤤
Carl mills.. Jeffrey byrnes panel beating is a lost art but seeing this man work is so inspiring and positive for the industry keep it up man !!! This is y I hate vinyl roofs on cars like this holden statesman and ford cortinas and the like
@@michaelbyrnes7944 old school technique on old school cars 👍
Sort after car the old HQ statesman my dad had one too a maroon 74 model when I was a kid but his was kept in show room condition he ended up selling to one of mates on the Goldcoast never seen the car again he spent ten grand on the engine and box and lost interest after losing a race to his other mates 351 LTD
@@michaelbyrnes7944 definitely worth the effort. Obviously would have been good if it was in better condition buy at least he kept it. I've got a heap more progress need to get back on the videos been slacking.
Wow that’s a real labour of love I’ve got a 308 HQ sedan 👌🏻
@@jimduggin5535 certainly for love 🤣 not sure if you know the back story, my father's car that I grew up in, learned how to drive etc.
I would of loved to be taught by someone with your skill when i was young , lovely work
What a job on the roof & drip rails - superb!
@@craighighmore4302 thanks, got a lot more progress done, I'll get back on the videos!
Sill moulds off, car painted. The back to it’s original colour
Nice bike mate , the first car on your vid is mine( white camaro) , great event
Very cool looking Camaro bro! Yeah cheers I enjoy having that bike at Beach hop, good for getting around but hoping to have my Hq Statesman ready for next years event.
Goodlooking car.👍
Thanks mate 👍
"WHITE POWDER"✋️😤💨
Mate that was cool to see i dont care thats a 9 second car and even im impressed 😁🇬🇸👍
Glad you enjoyed it! To bad he didn't nominate 10 as his time and got into the next round. But yeah either way it was cool!
That red falcon coupe is no joke 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
That thing looks fucken bad arse.
Man that rips. So good to see MORG back out again. I remember that doing a burnout one year and 4&Rota nationals up the hill at Meremere. Fuck yes.
Yeah that was sick, me and a mate were saying they should have a 25 year anniversary drag meeting of that skid and get him to do it again 😅
Wow that’s moving at 10.01 for a street car any size let alone a family wagon Thanks for sharing 🇳🇿🇨🇦✊🏾🤙🏾
Yeah mate it's cool to see it going so well, I reckon he'll get that 9 something.
thats one quick family truckster 🤘
Getting the family there fast! 🤣
She jumped out the hole pretty quick for a boat 👍
Yeah bro lugging a decent bit of weight down that strip!
Great footage, I love blown methanol (have one myself in the UK), thanks for sharing. Be even better if you can upgrade the quality of the following camera to match the behind the start line footage.
Thanks mate, geez it must be a rush driving those things, standing behind is enough for me. All the footage is actually the same camera, I do all those zooms etc in the editing stage but yeah I was hoping the time board was clearer.
Looks like a good day to be trackside 6.17 he’s moving Nga mihi for the share 🇳🇿🇨🇦✊🏾
All good mate, yeah top day, my friend with the black Rambler wagon did a few passes, ull post that tomorrow 👍
Really helpful. Just about to take an new Ute to pieces for body work
Cool mate, stoked to hear that! Something I thought about the other day was where do I start when putting it all back in. I think I should have made a note of the order that it came out so it could be reversed to go back in.
Coming up a treat mate. What’s that red primer you used at the end After it was sandblasted I wanted to buy some and I wasn’t sure what it’s called. You have a bit of an accent lol
Cheers, yeah it's getting to that stage where theres a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. PA10 etch primmer, if you just want to protect the metal while you are restoring then 'epiphos' is good, its clear and can weld through it. Ha yeah it does occur to me that no one outside of NZ can probably understand me 🤣
Did you finish it 😮 I'm still stuck on the stripper 😂😂😂😂❤
Haha getting close, I'll have to see if I can somehow make another Stripper related video 🤣
@@The-State-of-it Roger 🤫👍🍻🇦🇺
what a great event!! i could stand & watch all day. hopefully the stato is in it next yr
It would be worth the trip over from Oz! definitely gets the motivation going to have my own car for next year.
the motivation after being there would be all time high 😀i would defiantly go to that event
there are some sweet rides there! amazing cars
Plenty of Holdens to mate 👍
Flag the rest wheres the statesmans at? 😂
Haha back soon! You may have noticed I was struggling a bit for content on those last statesman videos, we kind of hit a slightly boring bit of the build, just little patches here and there but wheel housings video coming soon!
@@The-State-of-it honestly, no rush bro, take your time on her she deserves it. H series statos and caprices are the pinnacle of aussie and nz luxury cars. Nothing else compares imho
👍
Cheers mate 👍
Great video, catching the highlights of the Beach hop mate,. also was good to meet you looking at the NZ vicla bikes, that's me on the bike at 1.33.
Cheers bro good to meet you too. I was glad I was there when you guys rolled in, that many sick bikes at once was real cool! Awsome setup at the parade too, all good for the bike scene 👍
Looks like a great event I subscribed
Thanks mate much appreciated. The part the videos don't show is the people, the camp ground has a car village vibe, people set up mini grandstands in their front yards with couches and just drink beer and watch cars. I'll try to show more of this side next year 👍
Biggest outside of America, beach hop yeah buddy.
Mate I might have to use you as a consultant for my video title's, that's pretty good 👍
Choice👍
Thanks mate, part of me was thinking everyone is over beach hop videos but just wanted to do this wrap up video 👍
Ya m8s black wagon is a beast..what breed is it?
Yeah its mean, Chrysler Ambassador, Mopar. I've seen it do some good skids!
Looks like a regular stationwagon, not an actual hearse.
I'm pretty sure it was a registered hearse, like 30 years ago
@@The-State-of-it that'd be neat but i don't see how.
@@barnabyjones5161 if I can confirm I'll let ya know 👍
@@The-State-of-it alright 👌
Cool 😁🇬🇸👍
Thanks mate 👍
Gunna be a treat next year 🤞🤞 rolling with your old man in the statesman.. every year beach hop reignites the project inspiration to get ya rig rolling! I came home n instantly went the shed to make a "to do list" 😅😅
Yeah man it definitely sparks the motivation, I was showing the old man some video, he would love to come check it out.
I always forget to say 'Please Like and Subscribe' Thanks if you do it's a big help for these videos 👍and thank you for watching.
And leave a comment it helps with the algorithms 😁🇬🇸👮♂️
Thanks man! I think we might all be slightly over beach hop videos now but just thought I would wrap it up with an outro. Appreciate the support 👍
Drone footage credit to Jason Sayers. Check out his other Beach Hop photos facebook.com/share/p/DZdAFKeNwuC7wtGd/?mibextid=Nif5oz
Didnt say you had a drone thats cool 😁🇬🇸👍
Na not my footage belongs to a guy named Jason Sayers.
@@The-State-of-it still cool to see thanks for uploading ups to Jason 😁🇬🇸👍
@strangecustoms8486 just pinned his Facebook link, he has some good photos from Beach Hop.
@@The-State-of-it will check it out tonight suns coming out hmmm what mischief can I get up to today lol 😁🇬🇸👍
Great event. Had an HQ up there as well.
Cool man, which was your HQ?
All white one.
Mean I saw that, they look real cool painted white 👍
Awesome cars grate lifestyle cruising. Sadly all this will come to a end with carbon tax and high fuel prices. All these beautiful cars will be worthless under a tarp in back yard. Electric car in the shed.
That will suck!
@@The-State-of-it yeah absolutely suck. F the gov
Theres a guy who ran the autorama event at mystery creek back in November, his name is Andrew Farrier and he has started a thing, (I'll get the name of it) which is to lobby government against this sort of thing. As a car community we need to support him because this sort of thing you are talking about is real and it happens with the stroke of a pen at midnight and none of us know a thing about it until its suddenly law.

@@The-State-of-it thanks mate you are correct.in a bink and click of the pen our lives and love's are taken.
You should record the door creak before its fixed and maybe sort a micro-switch activated recording playback option; for memories sake. I doubt it has commercial potential though could be a good sample for a music mix.
Haha yeah sounds good! I'm not sure if it was that loud back then but sounds the same 👍
Cool story mate 👌
Thanks, hopefully the story continues with getting it ready for beach hop 25!
Poor minaro😢
The one that caught fire?
Is it a rambler?
Ambassador I think?
That car has been around for a very long time mate I remember going to Meremere it done a big huge burnout in the driveway next to the grass verge was a pretty mean az burnout
yeah i'm pretty sure this was the same hearse that was around a few years ago shredding the rears in super long burnout somewhere up north aye
Full track burnout at Meremere.
Was very sick!
Such a awesome event gutted I couldn’t make it this year, last year was great ! We will be back
Definitely! I'm hoping to have my car done for next year 🤞
So good.
Amazing range of cars 👍
Same morg that skidded up meremere dragway hill ? At 4& rotary nats haha
Haha yeah that really was one of the most iconic skids of all time.
