Fave drink, Coca-Cola. Not the Zero, or the No Sugar, or the damn diet, just normal regular 40 tons of sugar Coca-Cola. 👍
Emergency supply of Lemon Squash for when I run out of Coca-Cola. 😎
Are you filming the Torana build now? Please let it be the Torana. Gotta show off some classic Australian Muscle to the rest of the world
Thanks for taking us along for the ride!!!
Black n red? Australia's own A-Team
Wheres the Lemon Squash to buy????
Guys as I come from the same Australian state as Woody and Al I think we need to explain the whole lemon squash thing once and for all. Lemon squash is a common Australian soft drink / soda made by a company called Kirks. It's fizzy, full of sugar and has a lemon flavour funnily enough. XXXX gold is a mid strength beer which rightly or wrongly is very very popular in Queensland. It also comes in a yellow can. So, saying they are having a lemon squash was actually a piss take (joke) that they were really drinking beer. As the joke has progressed they've made it even funnier by actually drinking lemon squash on occasions as well. As they usually have their cans in coolers it is often hard to tell if they are drinking beer or lemon squash even though the shades of yellow are a bit different. And yes, the skid factory building on the T shirts does bear some resemblance to the beer factory in Brisbane where the XXXX gold beer is made. I have really enjoyed this build due to the complexity of the engineering required to make it all work. This is why it takes so long. If it was quick or easy everyone would be doing it and where's the challenge in that. Hopefully the boys have got all their engineering specifications spot on and Millsy can get all the modifications signed off to get it registered in Queensland. Somehow I think that Turbo Yoda is already all over that issue as he is a perfect example of a master Australian mechanic / fabricator / engineer / larrikin.
Thanks, I've found it a bit odd. 😁
17 episodes later and I finally understand
I kinda wondered. Cheers buddy
Shhhh
@@voltare2amstereo
I believe the locals refer to those by calling them a mango instead of a lemon squash.
I lost it when he said uncle Rodney would come visit at short notice. Lol
027.3 Powerstroke uncle Rodney’s a right prick
Same
Only problem I've had with my 7.3 is rocker arms, all stock except the tune.
Haha! Yeah No-one likes those unscheduled rapid arrivals of uncle Rodney!
That ‘Bedford parts guy’ phone call was comedy gold!
Was that just Herbert from Family Guy?...
Whatcha episode was that again? I can’t find it for some reason
I'm guessing the rust concerns came mainly from over here in the UK, where most Bedfords would go rusty while still in the showroom wating to be sold
Yep, hard to find 'em in the UK because they all fell apart as soon as they got wet (which happens often in Britain ). Anyone who thinks that van is rusty hasn't seen rust.
what about jukes then?
Yeh it’s nearly always better to import a rust free car here in the uk
Its the wrong colour to be rust. Not orange enough. As you said, we Brits know rust.
Living in Minnesota USA that van would be considered mint, the salt from deicing the roadways makes everything rust to pieces.
This show is just getting better and better
You guys are absolute legends!! Really appreciate you going to the effort of filming and putting yourselves out there. Genuine froth every time a new episode dropped. Don’t let this be the last Barra build!!! Also let’s see some moto footage! cheers boys, off to buy a stubby cooler
Al, I love how you respond to haters. Also, you guys are awesome UA-cam creators. Thanks for sharing.
What about the rust though.
Hate to see it end, but it was time. You guys have put your blood, sweat and laughter into that thing. Thanks for the great ride. 2 strokes rule!!!
This is turning into a really, really good show.
That was a fantastic project to follow guys. Looking forward to the next one.
"Uncle Rodney", that guy's bananas!
I’ve meet Uncle Rodney twice, messy bastard, never pays for anything, damages other people’s stuff, won’t stay home and always leaves you with a huge debt
As in bent? lol
Uncle Rodney comes knocking = Rod Knock
THE SKID FACTORY
The delightful art of re-contextualising
a vehicle by having turbo Yoda work his magic on it.

Good work.
I'm bike people (now somewhat elderly, but) and it's nice to hear a husband & wife with an R6 and ZX12R will use it as transport. That's bloody brilliant. I'm happy. And Jealous....
I'd like to see the completed doghouse cover. Matt does some impressive work.
I loved this series so much. The detail in the work and watching how you go about fixing issues you come across was really good.
I really enjoy the good natured banter. The expertise (considerable) is a bonus.
I think this build was awesome, & one of a kind. It's actually helped motivate me to jump into my first motor swap. I've been considering stuffing a junkyard LS into my Nissan hardbody pickup. And I think I'm finally dive on into the great unknown. Best part about builds like that, is you don't have worry about using it. Dents and dings, who cares lol. Thanks for helping inspire us gear heads around the world...
Love this show, well done boys!
Cheers from Tokyo!
It's good to see you boys comfy in front of the camera and looking forward to the next series
Skid factory single handedly driving up the price of lemon squash
4X gold clearly
Someone had to
"Uncle Rodney would come to visit on a short notice" - Had me laughing out loud there!
Old guy down the road from me has 2 of these vans had them for years. He now wants to make one fast thanks to you guys
Late to the party but guys, thanks heaps for this. Great series and the freedom thinking you employed kept it fascinating.
You guys rock. Thanks for making these videos. I've enjoyed coming along on your journey.
Great work as always. This is by far the best automotive show on the planet. Keep up the good work. From snowy Quebec Canada!
Thanks guys! i can't believe that this show is for free... Great job!!!
yeah but they don't build cars for free.
they run a shop and make money they also get ad revenue from a few million views and sell merch.
@@asjmpickle sure! and that's ok, i'm not buying any merchandise. personally i'm very happy knowing they get their money for doing this awesome content.
Thanks very much boys. I enjoyed every minute of the series.
Recent convert to the show lads. I’ve binged on the fairlane, the nova, the skyline, the dunnydoor, and now the beddy, which was epic. Fantastic show, maintain the rage, and love the fact you live just up the road from me
Loved this build guys, looking forward to the next one!
Just wanna say thanks for taking us on the journey. It was very entertaining and informative. We don’t have barras here in the Caribbean but it looks like something I wanna play with in the future. Thanks again guys. Gonna check out your other vids.
Loved the build boys! Cant wait for the next one
That Bedford is Beast!!!! Great job Guys!!!
As someone who lives in the rustbelt (northern New York state), I know what rust looks like and that van was not rusty at all. It was really solid for the year. Anytime we buy a car here, even something only a couple of years old, we're under the damn thing before we even open the hood or listen to it run looking for rotten floorpans and subframe assemblies. Sometimes people are just dumb and quick to comment. Looking forward to the next build. oh and favorite drink is either a seltzer (I am from New York... lets be real) or diet mountain dew. :)
A lot of people in sunny states don't know what rust is. 4 year old cars don't look as good as the van.
I feel you here in Pennsylvania friend.
TahawusEFKT what about cel-ray? Best soda on earth!
Thank you for filming all of this! It's great to learn some stuff this way.
Good work guys, keeping it real, if you ever come to the deep north (FNQ) we have the best dirt bike riding in the country and we even have Barra's with boost.
Amazing stuff you guys are putting out, you are making fabricating and turbo building look easy, almost everyone on the internet struggles doing turbo build, keep up the awesome work.
Thanks Al, Thanks Woody, loved every second of the Bedford episodes. Can't wait for the next build.
Awesome build boys. Cracking viewing for many weeks.
Just sat on the toilet and hit subscriptions and this popped up. Perfect timing 👍👍
Good job 👊always enjoy watching someone else do the work looks so easy when watching but any mechanic knows a lot of work and passion into the Bedford nice job guys
We grew up with the beddies over here in NZ, such an awesome build. Thanks for the debrief. The original zf manual are extremely strong and used over here for speedway in superstocks with 400hp in front of them, full contact racing!
Ive never enjoyed watching a show as much as you guys! Love your work boys and this van is epic..
awesome show i really enjoy watching it keep on working like this the fab work is amazing.
Great build guys , really enjoyed watching.
Really enjoyed the series, as always! Cant wait for the next project! your videos give me so much enthusiasm to work on my car... Just wish i had Al's workshop!
Really liked this series. Looking forward to the next
Have an Awesome ride guys, followed by an Awesome week😉😊👍👍
I have loved this Bedford job my aunt had one with the sliding front doors and it was wicked we used to drive around London with the front doors open years ago loads of people wanted to buy it in the end she sold it for 3 times what she paid for it with 200,000 miles on it still the first engine, the only problem we ever had was it ran out of fuel once and had to be bled but we found we could pump the fuel by a manual leaver on the bottom of the fuel pump and the second was it was addicted to easy start when cold we had the heater plugs changed instant cure.
Awesome work guys thanks for your efforts filming it so we can come on the ride with you all
U guys make amazing content. Keep up the good work.
thanks for this looking forward to the dyno run !! and damn thats a lot of work
Oh, and can you go help the Project Binky guys finish that effing mini?
I don't think you've thought this through; if they finished it there wouldn't be any more episodes to look forward to.
@@Zero_Ninety In the unlikely event that Binky gets finished, they have another project to be going on with.
Hemiac Plurge yes
Well, if at all, there would be demand for slightly shortening the time between episodes, not for actually finishing I'd suspect. They're nice guys after all, aren't they?
Project Binky has been worth the wait between episodes.
hahahah a lemon squash sponsorship would be EPIC!!! I already got my skid factory "Coozy"!! Yew!
good job guys keep up the good work can't wait to see whats next.
Thank you guys for all your hard work. Loved this build, appreciate Al’s endless knowledge and the ‘bro’ banter between you two. Maybe someday you and mcm will have a fan contest and bring someone down there to help with a build😉🤔?
Ride safe🤙
Another great build! Thanks guys!
I know this build was a pain in the ass, but it's awesome! Got some rat rod style Aussie van goodness happin'in now. Good vid, thanks to all that put in the hours for this one.
You guys are great. Highlight of the day any time there's a new video posted. Cheers from the States guys!
Great job guys!
You guys are top notch! Keep it up. Love the content. Properly funny.
You're always gonna have your viewer base, even if you upload once a week or less. That's how good your content is!
Good job guys, I'm looking forward to the next adventure.
Love the vids guys. Informative and entertaining :)
Epic build guys yea are amazing love the show and the builds onwards and upwards
Seeing new skid factory episodes in my feed does things to my pants
loved the show keep up the great work
Best build show ever
I was just thinking I needed a good dose of skid factory... And boom here we are
Thank you for the journey guys, it was great
thanks fellas for the awesome videos ...... you should get together the cars you guys have built and have a small show/meeting/get together to show off your work and, sell merch. ill definitely be there
Hey guys Shelton here from jamaica if bin watching you guys for a long time and your work inspired me and jive me idea when I'm working on my car a 1996 Toyota Corsa
We want to see this thing on a dyno
And this thing going nuts doing burnouts, even shreadding and blowing those old tyres up
GREAT WORK from GREAT people! Love that you did this 'wrap up' to some of your most FAQs. Shut up and DANCE! (Moog will know that song) You guys are FANTABULOUS;-)
Thanks Alan & Woody its been an amazing build as has been said by many "Ours is not to reason Why
I'll tell you what I like about this channel. It's the combination of no pretence, silly (in a good way) projects ("you're putting what in to WHAT?"), great video editing, actual CHARACTERS (becoming extremely rare) and a great sense of camaraderie. Even if those Snap Off tool fuckers come knocking, no matter who, keep this channel real. Keep the shed exactly the same. Don't stock up on 10mm spanners. Don't install insulation, the sweaty brows let us know you mean business. Keep it the same. You can have your youtube funded beach and Lear Jet just around the corner, but don't change anything else. Please.
good job lads, love your work.
That is quite a ballsey move recording the week of release. Had to be a ton of work. Thanks for sharing the Q and A.
you boys are rad, great stuff!
lemon squash and uncle Rodney lol I look forward to every video you guys do, thanks for all the laughs!!!
You two did an outstanding job, please upload some performance videos when available. Love the van!
Honest and no bullshit, love it thanks boys
Coca Cola everyday for the soda pop! Ace van build and can't wait for next build to arrive.
Well done gents! You answered all the questions I had, and some I didn't know I had. Really enjoy this video series :-)
these guys plugs are gold
Good work boys ultimate entertainment keep it up
Best show on UA-cam, keep it up guys
Love you guys! 😍👍👍 thanks!!
Linked to the build by a friend and smashed my way through 10 episodes until I caught up with your weekly posts, loved the vids and build, kinda sad to see the it finish 😢
thankyou so much for sharing your experiences with us.
Bill's(?) bmw coupe is actually in my town at the moment. i was gonna go have a look at it but they would probably wonder who this random guy is haha.
love ya work lads, just ordered my SF T-shirt....
The finnish people put 40KW combustion heaters inside their saunas.
The australian people put 400KW combustion heaters inside their utility van cabins.
Both have good F1drivers, considering their population.
@@gjmob Yeah but Finland has a better track record when it comes to World Champions. Hopefully we will have another one within the next 5 years or so.
@@gjmob As an Australian, I can assure you the Finns are better drivers, and I've never even been to Finland. ( all jokes aside, the Flying Finns are regarded as some of the best drivers in the world, there's no comparison)
Bedford isn't rusty...it's seasonally preserved. 👌
Is Uncle Rodney married to Auntie Flow?
Both can ruin your fun. Relatives, go figure
Top work boyz🤘
Well done guys watching you both do a summary of the build at the is awesome and don't paint the Bedford it will loose it's character but the interior yep needs a little dusting can't wait for the next build keep up the great work!! :).
Brilliant stuff guys, really enjoyed this build, definitely a challenge! Really appreciate you doing these Q&A videos after each build, too. Keep up the great work and looking forward to seeing how this thing goes! :-D
ps Can't beat the Vimto!
Feeling very deprived, not having lemon squash here in the states.
I can organize bulk buys for you. 😎 How many 10 packs or 24 packs you want?
@Hooha888 You're ruining my future Daigou business. Kirk's squash sent to USA at 150% mark up. 😡🤣😂
You can buy Solo on Amazon which is pretty well the same.
I don't think Mello Yello is the same at all. It's more generic citrus than plain lemon.
@Hooha888 It's okay, we still have a monopoly on Barra motors. FGX front cut for sale for my American friends, $15K USD. 😎
I want to try them so bad now too lol , im in Texas
You guys are amazing
It is a pretty sweet build props guys
WOOODY DO NOT GIVE UP BROTHER!!!!!!!!!! 👊👌
watched while drinking a lemon squash after night-shift.. winning.. thanks for the series and Q&A, always interesting
