HM 5star motors are fully reconditioned and rebuilt replacement motors with new parts. I bought a blue 202 HM motor with gas head for my VH in the mid 90's via my local mechanic. If I remember correctly it was around $2900 fitted with a new set of Genie extractors. I'm in Adelaide and it was common to see HM 5star motors in engine bays. Mine still runs perfectly even after sitting neglected for 20 years.
My recollection is the 'Repowered By' stuff was second-hand stuff imported from Japan. That was cheaper than a rebuild and suited many people with older Japanese cars
Not the whole way thru the vid but that bluebird is a series 3 which means it’s a 1985-1986 I’m one of cams mates so if y’all go back there pls do let me know as that wagon would be quite helpful for my 1984 bluebird wagon ;)
Oh wow I really enjoyed this episode! And that Honda is as good if not better than a Mini! Would have loved to buy that, but I have no where to park it and Live in Victoria! Great episode!
You should do a couple more of these vids while the yard is still around.
Travel some wrecking yards and do a series 😂
Good idea! We're doing our best to make that happen! ;)
Whats the latest on the Coomadore?
More stuff soon!

This was great fun,more please.Was it only panel damage on the Honda City or was the chassis also dinged?
it appears to be just panel damage
Oh wow I really enjoyed this episode!
And that Honda is as good if not better than a Mini! Would have loved to buy that, but I have no where to park it and Live in Victoria!
Great episode!
hey thank for watching. Yes it''s a great usefully sized 'little car'
Really wanted that bluebird pity I'm in a different state
The Bluey is a series 3, 1985.
yeah, I reckon you're right.
Like those Cortina wagons, weird it's on gas.
Don't spose there are any FB Holden's in restorable condition up there?
depends on your budget and level of skill/experience
Some Holden's, Fords and Valiants would have been good
we got a Commodore started there a while ago - have you seen the vid?
Was there any classic minis in the yard
sorry, none that I can recall
Well done GT. Opportunity there for you to grab the odd good "running" car, tart it up a bit for charity?
At 2:00 or so, the Volvo, v6 or turbo?
Rare bird
👊🤣👍
save that honda plz these are so rare
It remains there for you to save!
