      Hey, the long ones work for Derek at Vice Grip Garage and he is approaching 2 million subscribers. I would love to see your channel grow to that level and beyond. There must be plenty of classic Aussie cars waiting to be saved by someone like yourself. If you had a channel of that size it would enable you to take on projects that were previously too expensive and probably seemed to be an impossible project. Come on guys and girls, lets get Mick to that first milestone of 100k so we can have a huge Aussie channel saving all those beautiful classic Aussie cars.

    Watching your bloopers at the end always warms my heart, as it makes me realise that I'm not the only bloke that cracks the shits when confronted with a frozen, snapped or threaded bolt or a stuck piece of interior trim etc. My missus says she always knows when I'm working on one of my vehicles as she can hear me from the house loudly yelling curses and profanities and hurling stuff around the garage in frustration. Gotta have a good vent though to clear the head first, so that you can step back for a moment to collect yourself and then work through the problem to find a solution eh!

    Awesome video Mick, I sat through the whole 2 and a half hours. I love one tonners! And I recently just got out of the concrete industry, doing house slabs. Few of the old boys would talk about how these machines would haul crush rock, bags of rapid set, small sheets of steel reinforcement and tools on the back of em' in the 70's and 80's. Thommo was definitely a real work horse and he shows his character. Would be good to see a few more videos on him. I wish I could own a tonner like that, except I'd have a tough little 253 in her! Good onya Mick!

    Hey Mick, when you have finished with this one you will have to give it to me. After all it has my name on the doors and yes I have been known as "Tommo" all my life (63yo now).
    On a side note- I live in the central west NSW and I have seen this tonner in Gulgong and at times in Mudgee in the past while travelling about working, I even have a photo of it somewhere taken probably in the mid "90's when I first saw it, had to- my name and all. Had a look for it but can't find it as yet, I'll let you know if I find it but not holding my breath.

    What a brilliant episode. Great result too. Un-killable 202. Originally I thought it might have been a 179 or 173, although by '79 they would have phased them out. The bumper is wrong for the ute. They were solid and rounded end to end.

    Hooray, another Backshed video. And it was an extra length feature show. I don't care if others do not like the long length of your programs. They can pause it and watch later to treat it like multiple episodes. The one tonner is a great car to build and very useful when they are functional. Other than panels, you can get everything to fix them. In fact I can get more parts for my HQ one tonner than the CV8Z 2005 Monaro. Looking forward to the future instalments.

Cool old wagon. Put a camping pod on the back. Head out camping. Then put it to work on return. You should concrete a channel in. Catch all the oil and mud you pressure wash off.

Got good money for it as had a warmish V8, TH350 and really nice interior, blackbutt hardwood tray and prem front clip. The old bloke who bought it was transplanting the driveline and interior into a restored cab.

    Great work Mick. This brought back a lot of memories as my Old Man had same model One Tonner as a workhorse for his Bricklaying Business. His was a 202 with 4 on the Floor. I worked with him for 15 years and drove it numerous times. Funny thing was, the 4 speed had a problem with the selector and used to get stuck in reverse and 1st gear at the same time. These things are virtually Bullet Proof, hard to kill em. Nice find and Great revival Mate...

    Mick, you are a hoot, Son! The segment of you working to remove the bench seat gave me a good chuckle. No doubt that seat was a width of gnat’s eyelash of kicking you where our Good Lord split you. But, as I said before from my Army Drill Sergeant, “It’s only a thing. You can’t let the thing beat you, you gotta be smarter than the thing”. Keep up the good work, My Friend.
