  • In this video we tackle a bit more fabrication on my commodore, we shave the engine bay, finish up the minitubs & tend to a few other repairs.

    Also im sure u seen everyone advertising Raycon headphones on YT
    Get ya self a set instead of the earplugs.. U can set them so u cant hear anything but music with low volume, or set them to passive so u can hear music but also hear a door bell or someone saying your name while u have a welding helmet on in lala land ect ect.
    They block noise like ear plugs but play music and answer phone calls ect ect
    Also worth getting the car dipped, but when u want that motor and box to look band new with out pulling anything apart,, DRYICE!

    Had no idea u already had a motor in the VL
    I got 30years experience as a mechanical engineer (not automotive engineer) From Old conventional Mills and lathes to fabrication for the Australian defence force technology something (DFTO) in fishermans bend in melb CBD..
    If you need ideas im a problem solver with alcohol and alot off weed.. im fucked in the head and work better that way, so if u wanna drink a slab or 2 and stare at the car getting ideas to do cool shit then let me know..

      @@AdmissionGaming I just love a straight 6 turbo tho. iv had a few. built well they are good. but is cheaper to do a LS. i mean i could do a LS twin turbo or something. NICE on the GTR mate, that would be unreal! i thought about doing a LS in my WRX when it blew up but gone a forged build instead.
