I got tears in my eyes when your dad saw it. WOW. That moment will be with you all forever. Great work. Don’t ever sell it. Pass it down to your children.
100% will be a memory we cherish forever. So happy to have it on camera too. Absolutely, when the guy offered to buy it Jacks dad said he wouldn’t sell it for anything 🙌🏼 Thanks for watching Neil!
A wonderful restoration. Although it was for your dad, more important is the fact that you have preserved a part of motoring history. So many people have fond memories of these vehicles. A pity Toyota doesn't make them again. I'm sure there would be plenty of buyers!
@@itsJackandMegan I had a Daihatsu Scat many years ago (shame you can't get one of those now), but I remember a number of people in the 4WD club I was in had a 40s series. Tough as old boots and went everywhere!! Would love to find one when I retire.
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful - both the gesture and the finish result. It's a special feeling when you give a gift with genuine love, to someone you truly love. Heath-warming. Kudos to both of you guys. Great Karma your way. ❤️
Ya made me tear up lol. That thing looks awesome ya dad must be proud of both of you! Well done I look forward to ya sending it up the beech. JUST SEND IT!!!!!!!!
Im not a car person but that was awesome, so much effort and love went into that car and seeing Jack surprise his dad was priceless, you could see how much it meant to him! Love watching you guys, can't wait to see lap 2 begin!
so special guys, had tears in my eye's too when your dad saw it. can't wait for the first off road excursion. how about doing a long weekend away with your dad tag along in the FJ............?
So glad you enjoyed the video mate! Will definitely have to do a trip with him but will probably be off camera 😁 Megan and I take it away for tomorrows episode though!
Well done guys, as a fellow 45 owner nothing better than owning one an to see what you guys achieved, You have done a fantastic job and your dad looks very proud. Keep up the awesome work 👍
Great work to bring an old cruiser back. Short wheelbase, go anywhere, rides like crap, V8, go like the clappers, sounds great and loves a drink. Aussie icon.
What an awesome thing to do for your old man! And so good to see you both having a crack at stuff you’ve never done before! Too many people shy away from big, worthwhile projects because of a lack of experience. And it came up awesome!! Can’t wait to see what you both do next
Thanks for watching mate 😊 it’s been about 9 months since handing dads car back over to him. He has driven it to and from work every day since! How bloody good hey.
It was a touching video to watch what you guys did for Jack’s dad. However, I thought the video should include the hug that Megan gets also as this project was by both of you right? Never take things for granted Jack, you got to make up for it to Megan. Haha! Like cooking for her for a day!
Your right mate I’m very grateful for everything that we where able to do. Megan got an even bigger hug of camera also we just didn’t have the cameras rolling unfortunately. Was a great day! Thanks for watching 😊👍
Hi Megan and Jack. Wow, I am so jealous ! I owned an FJ40 shorty in the mid 1970s and would kill for a replacement. You have done a magnificent job and I wish you both safe travels.
Ohhh man, that hug got me good! and I mean really bloody good! You guys have done an incredible job. It turned out perfect and Jack's dad's reaction just shows how much he loved and appreciated it. As someone who's name scrolled by at the end, I feel like we should be saying thanks to you guys for making such great content and bringing heaps of positivity to us all. You guys are honestly the greatest.
So glad you enjoyed it mate! Your comments throughout the build and our whole UA-cam journey have motivated us more than you could know! Really appreciate your support so much 🙏🏼
That embrace between father and son says it all. To all you out there who's fathers or mothers are still with you, listen to the song In The Living Years by Mike and the Mechnics. Believe me, it will be worth your while.
@@itsJackandMegan You are most welcome. The love you have for your father and for your mother as well, is a treasure that no one can ever take away from you. Cheers and be safe always.
You guys have done an amazing job, really really enjoyed this build series. I grew up with my old man having two FJs so brings back so many good memories! The hug your dad gave you said it all really! Congrats guys great effort!
