Thank you for taking the time to comment @alexstevenson2776

Thanks for taking the time to comment and watching the show @dazzahsvcoupe1029
nice repair
the old boys not too bad at it lol😆😆
Thanks for taking the time to comment and watching the show @GeeenJ.
Wow, you guys seem to find more problems everywhere you look! I look forward to seeing this car finished though.
They are coming to a end @bentravis99 hopefully we find not much more.
Thank you for leaving a comment and watching the show. Have a good week.
Well done guys , it's bloody scary to think how many classic cars haven't been restored correctly like you blokes do it ,
Thanks for watching @steveb9270. Yes we will do a video on what to look for when buying a used car soon.
Talk about always expect the unexpected, previous poor repair, great work guys, you make it look easy.
Thank you for taking the time to comment and watching @buckminsterfullerene2294
This XU1 is going to drive better than it came out of the factory, nice work fellas. 👊👍💪👌
@colinmiles9390 It should be a good thing again. The best part is the owner can drive it with confidence again. Cheers @colinmiles9390 have a good week and stay safe.
Great to see how you place emphasis on the safety aspects of repairs. In the event of a crash, you certainly wouldn’t want your frame rails to be lacking in structural integrity. Also good to see that your repairs always look as good as it came from the factory.
Keep up the good work 👍
Nice comment thank you for that. Thanks for watching @killbill_1967 have a good week.
No matter how good you think your car there's always something hidden somewhere that needs attention.I just love how thorough you blokes always are.greetings from Adelaide
Thank you for your time @jeremyconway5793 we appreciate your comments.

Once you Men finish under the car you definitely can see some light 💡. Wonderfully done work it’s pleasure to watch. Just a top show between you 2 👍

See ya soon guys...greetings from Adelaide
Great work POP's & Mick enjoy your Chivas POP's have a great weekend cheers,
Cheers @nickf6062 thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
I couldn’t help to notice that WIA Miller Tig welder in the background the yellow machine. That is one excellent machine.
I did notice the western star you boys built. The stainless work was next level.
Darryl you must have learnt some stuff over the years. Stainless steel is the hardest to make custom finish. The rear piece you boys made was art. Now Mick has your knowledge and he continues it on.
Hopefully you boys build another truck.
Keep the videos coming.
Catch you on the next one 👍
I think the boys must have some good gear in the back shed. Darryl definitely knows his stuff. He has shown Mike the ropes. They seem to like the old welders. This car has definitely been a mission and they just make the whole thing look easy. Even with the older machines.
Yes this is a Miller you must know your welders @restorationkingsking. It's an unreal TIG welder water cooled.
We must do a walk around and show the truck on the show.
Thank you for watching and commenting @restorationkingsking we appreciate the comment.
Definitely non gen sway bar. The original XU-1 sway bar was scalloped to fit snug on the LCA radias rods.
Thanks for leaving a comment @3800TURBO have a good week.
The ol 9/16 spanner
Hey Pops, You reckon Mick should be a Plastic Surgeon?? He's a Heart Surgeon mate, a man well worth the money for his talents. There's enough Plastic Surgeons (bog merchants) in the industry already.😂
Great comment you are spot on 👌👍
Hahahah thanks for taking the time to leave a comment @danielbrown4133 always good for a laugh. have a good week.
And this is why people go to these boys for proper structural work when needed. Their eyes for detail is exceptional as you don’t need to waste money on shoddy work especially nowdays with inspections being so fussy.
Absolutely you are right there Colin. It’s so important to get your car back to safe rolling shell.
The knowledge Darryl and Mick are sharing is priceless. I am amazed Darryl is sharing his profession to this degree. But it’s so worth it for the young beaters building cars in a safe and correct manner.
@@restorationkingsking if professional coach workers like Darryl and Mick don’t share then there won’t be anyone to share with the youth of today as most of the young generation think they know it all and can overlook so many areas where thankfully these boys aren’t afraid to show the real workings of how a car rebuild should be based upon. I was lucky growing up thanks to the teaching of my father who was classed as old school but as I’ve learned myself over the years, there is no replacement for old school teaching . Too many just browse over the mistakes these days instead of teaching the underlined damage caused which I’m thankful these two fine men meet that head on.
@@colinmiles9390well said. You’re a wise man your self. More guys like you are good for the world 🌎. Can’t beat the positive attitude 👍
G'day from west Australia nice job 😊
Hi @frank5127
Hope West Australia is treating you well. Thank you for watching and commenting on the show.
Well done 👍 gentleman. It will
Be a good car again when you are finished. Keep up
The hard work.
Thanks for your comment and taking the time to watch the show @linz7172. have a good week.
Greetings from Mackay, where we have a SBI.
Hi @Brendan-yp2qp from beautiful tropical up north. Nice you have sbi we hope you enjoy the products like we do.
Thanks for leaving a comment and watching the show.
Another Epic Episode Lads! Something you might want to consider in the future is an inspection camera. Very handy to get into those hard to reach places to assess any damage / rust etc.. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the tip!
They are a good thing those cameras. Thanks for your comment and taking the time to watch the show @scottyr6033 have a good week.
Hi great videos I think someone was doing a duke’s of hazard in the toro it was on tv around then or so lolol but grind that harden steel sway bar and front end damage and all the other repairs you have to do from other crash shop
Hahaha good old dukes. A great show 👌👍
Hahahah that is a good one. Thank you for the comment and taking the time to watch the show. Have a good week.
Those crappy front sections were a good pick-up, it's has been a real slapdash repair .. with pigeon s**t welding, it's not difficult to get good penatration on material of that thickness .Image if the vehicle sustained a serious accident? That sway bar is a mystery it would have to have been driven miles rubbing to produce the large flat. Could it have it been caused by a dill using a grinder? Keep up the great work, boys.
Hahaha spot on great comment 👍
Good point maybe a grinder.
We may have more info on the swaybar story on how it was done in the next episode. We find out Tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to comment and have a good week.
Keep it reel keep it right boys. A top episode again.👌👍💪
Another good episode with more knowledge. The Torana is going to be a solid car again. And definitely a safe ride to enjoy. Keep up the good work Darryl and Mick.
why's the sway bar behind the cross member, normally at the front isnt it?
Non original sway bar.
ive know idea how that is a 14mm, pkease explain? is 9/16
They both work mate.
I think the boys just quickly grabbed the 14.
9/16 is the correct size.
Use 6--10mm wall crush tube . Insert from front . Have it machined from stainless . Insert and large tac at either end .
G'day guys,
Two very nice repairs by both of you.
Q. Do you think the previous person who did the repair work new he's work wasn't up to scratch. He would've knowingly sent this car down the road in an unsafe state.
So thanks for sharing ✌️ Peace from Melbourne/Pakenham 3810.
Hi @kevinhamling1963 thank you. It's hard to say. Hopefully it was just apprentice. Thanks for commenting much appreciated and have a good week. Peace ✌️
Problems worsened by lack of seam sealer.
I see you’re using galvanised steel plating? I thought that was hard to weld and had dodgy chemicals associated with it. Love your show 🙂.
Hi @weswright3187 we always make sure to clean the edges for welding.
Thank you for leaving a comment and watching have a nice week.
I would replace that front sway bar with an original type.
He has one ready to go! 🎉
Hi Guys, It has been great watching your work that you have done with the XU1. I have been restoring a GTR and purchased a K-MAC front sway bar for the car which has the same mounting as the bar that the XU1 has. What surprised me was that when you tighten the U-bolts the flat plates of the U-bolts locks the K-frame to the chassis rail which I thought was strange as the K-frame is an insulated joint. I know you are building a concourse car but because I'm not I manufactured special 6061 aluminium brackets to allow the K-frame to be independent of the chassis rails. Look forward to what you find out about the XU1 bar from people that have accurate information on these cars. Keep up with the excellent work. Cheers Andrew
They always rust out there. The LJ I owed 30+ years ago had rust in that part of the chassis with a similar dodgy patch....
Regarding the sway bar wear, I had a lowered car that saw track duty and at full suspension drop at speed ground a similar flat spot on the car. Nothing like wheels falling off had happened, just a hard working suspension system coming in contact with the road. This is one of the reasons 100 mm ride height is required for road use to stop components of the car under load coming in contact with the road with potential to dig in.
Those tyers look a lot like Aquajets
I thought straightening the chassis would have been the first thing to do before any panel alignment is done… ??
Hi @MrSamlyle this repair can be done at anytime.
The rail was not bad enough to cause any gap problems. These are only small repairs.
We usually put a vehicle on the car o liner if its big damage.
Thanks for the comment 👍
Owner has gotta have some of the deepest pockets around......
A Crack will return, a reinforcement is recommended
