This program is BIG on providing hints to every backyard fix up for older cars. There is no over the top equipped panel shop or engine diagnosis shop or CNC machine shop. Watching this shows that lots of handy man types with a few extra tools can go a long way to bringing back to life an older car, at least to the point of getting it back on the road and registered. The only extra tool Mick has is the car hoist and they are more readily available and affordable than in the past.

saving aussie classics from the wreckers should be a priority for everyone, every day we lose gems like this, but I’m glad people like you are out there doing your best to spare their ill fate, she’s a beauty mate, keep her safe!
They🎉don't make em like they used to...to work on I meant .. pleasure to flush that radiator ..looks like fun a bit ..all good for ur lawn too 😂..temp sensor , oil 🛢️ pressure sender..be a mechanics paradise..that car ..joy to work on if it was straight from the factory ..regardless ..Mick will get it going ..pure joy to see.
Why didn't you flush out the heater core because they can be full of gunk as well and when you put the heater on the gunk will come back into the block? Love your Vids.......👍👍👍👍👍👍
You're a tough man tackling all these cars,your allegiance to cars all old and not 1 brand is so refreshing, your methodical approach and explanation break each ep down to a simple way that anyone can listen in
Watching people work on classic machines bringing them new life is pretty good. Amazing skill. Funny the things that bring back memories...seat belt hanging out the door as you backed out the shed!
Howdyyawl from the land down under. Holden's. Nothing smells like a holden interior. Easy to drive, nothing fancy, easy on the eye. Ä lot of families were carried around in one or another. I used to work a GMH at Elizabeth SA. Miss them greatly, shame. Nice to see some one bringing them back to life & in use. Keeping it real😊
Hi Mick. Pretty cool to see an old classic raised from the dead. Love your work & your style. The best bit of the whole video was seeing the big smile on your face when you got the radio working...lol... Its the little victories that make it worthwhile, eh mate?... Thanks for sharing your time & videos..
Mate these videos are that good. A month or so ago when I first saw th qe wagon I was a bit like whatever but deadset by the end I had my own personal attachment to it and same with all the vehicles. Bloody good show
Good stuff Mick, love the content…….. I can remember when those radically different HQs came out new……. that’s more than 50 years ago ……. Jeez, I’m getting old !!! Cheers and Beers 🍻
@@backshed5295 …… if You ever spot one ……. an FC Station Wagon……. the car I learnt to drive in……. love to see a revival of an FC (I would settle for an FE or even an FB/EK)…….. did you know that the Sydney Opera House was built on the shape of an FB/EK taillight ( this might be bullshit but I’m running with it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loving it. As for the fuel tank, use POR15 U.S standard tank cleaner and liquid membrane> KBS also makes the same product. Once it is in you will never have an issue again. I did my tanks over 25 years ago and it is still good. It is designed to fill all those pin holes as well as getting between the tank and your patches via the old holes. Only way to go.
Cheers Lobby , those new door cards are plastic mate , I was surprised when they turned up I was expecting timber or compressed board of some description 🍺👍
Good to see you back Mick. Yet another quality video. What a nice daily driver it has turned out to be. I thought you were from somewhere out the bush and your test drive confirmed it. Muswellbrook is where my dad’s family are from until they all moved out to Denman. Your bloopers are classic. Cheers 🍻 and what is next on the list?
its allways a pleasure watching your videos ,another ozzy legend back on the road ,it has taken me 2years to decide what colour to paint my wagon then i saw your wagon in clear coat decision solved , anyway looking foward to the next video
Cheers mate Yeah I like patina and ratty because it’s affordable and quick , I’m not hating on paint but that’s something you can worry about later when the $$ come around.👍👍🍺
I’ve had that comment a few times now but it’s not a safety issue, it’s cosmetic. I think some inspectors hate life and old cars and make stuff fail but you have to show me the rule that fails a cracked horn pad etc. I’m not saying your wrong I’m saying maybe your taking it to the wrong people.👍🍺
@@backshed5295 Sorry but no, Vic is getting tougher probs because we don't have yearly RWC. I can guarantee you 100% in Vic the 1st thing they would say is "New Windscreen" without even looking at it then go from there.
@@backshed5295 Yep. They will say "sandblasted" which reduces visibility. I once had to find a windscreen for a 1975 Fiat 124 Sport Coupe. There were 2 in AU, in Perth.

Ironically this morning I was wondering about backshed boom new video awesome. When you say just get it running and enjoy it I like to think its roadstoraion rather than restoration at first . What a great cruiser well done
Hey mick! Don’t forget the hose clamps from the parts store mate😂😂😂 Mate Im in my early 30s and I absolutely love your vids! Your like the uncle I wish I had 😂😂
Hey Mick Great content as per usual. Keep up the great work. Used one of your tricks today. Marking where the hole is in the thread for a split pin..... works a treat 😂😂
Yet another great video that was well worth the wait. Backshed is certainly one of my favorite channels. I appreciate the tips, tricks and your methodical approach to every problem. Thanks Mick, keep up the great work....Cheers
Hi Mick, great rescue glad to see you back. Off track - I recognise the "test road" at the end, can see the prep plant in the background. Took a VR from there just before it went care and maintenance in the mid-noughties. Worked there as a sparky for a few years. It's opening back up now AFAIK.
Brings back some awesome memories of my teens (and later) fixing lots of HQs, Xs, Zs and WBs. Lots of Cooners too. Never came across that tank cap issue, - so you can always learn something new. Cheers Mick for a big trip down memory lane and Top work too.
We use to solder the fuel tanks with a piece of shim stock as a filler,much easier than welding. Also it’s a pleasure to hear door trims and not door cards.
