Another great episode ..really enjoying this and love the new parts.. Just shows you what sort of work
is out there underneath some of these cars ..
Bewdiful! Great to see someone doing a Holden V8! Everyone nowadays does LS or Barra(both great engines) but I LOVE old school. Very neat set up.👍 Love the LJ, I had an LC as a young bloke. Those new panels look real good and love the bodywork your doing. Subscribed.
Great work boys! Chris seems like a top bloke deserving of such a beaut of a car. Keep it up
That VH is absolutely 10 out of 10 !

G’day that motor is terrific the detail in it looks unreal powder coating the headers great it’s going to to be a head turner . Take care look after yourselves John
Great work
I'm really enjoying the video of the LJ build.
I built a V8 Lj in the 80s sold it 8 years ago now same colour Indy orange.
I'm very interested to see how the new panels fit up.
I wish stuff like this was available and probably would of stoped alot of repairs like your fixing now.
Great how you've done the follow up video, keen to see it at rocky natts
Another great video....😎
Love it, just love it
Clean new panels to work with cars gonna be mint condition.👍
Great video, those new screws just finish it off. 🤣😂🤣😂
👌
Love hand filing in the jams
Thanks for the content guys, it would be awesome to see a small welding tutorial regarding the settings and the tools you use the world this old Torana and the old steel.
Thanks
So glad you changed the rusty bolts, I hate seeing people do such great work and chrome, paint etc only to put one or two old bits back on. Rebuild/paint polish or chrome it I say, nice ride all the same ✌
Daewoo in Korea probably still have the tooling for those guards they built a wagon using the longer Torana front called a Chevy 1700
Gents, love watching your work
Do you have any info on previous resto's/work you've done? could be great to learn/see some of your older stuff, even if it's just a few pics and talk along.
Hi Tim we only just started filming our work not long ago. We will try get some old projects on camera in the future.
VH is nice they were a good model I had a SLX years ago warm 6 and auto it went ok, the Torana though that is a real big job its been pranged and bodged back into life bog by the barrow load cut n shut repairs everywhere, hows the back half better or worse.likin the channel
I've got a 6ltr n it sounds mad. But the sound of the old statesman 5ltr V8 is way better. VH the last of the chrome bumpers!. Built for a max of 170 HP did ya re enforce the C pillars? My old 202 bored to 208 with flat tops etc would always end up with cracks or Crows feet on the C pillars. Was a Manual n dumpin the clutch doesn;t help , but that would be pushin 200hp! It's a Mad colour btw.
love ya work guys but one thing i really need to know is where did chris get his plug wire holders from been looking every where ,
rare spares America id say or Australia
Aeroflow 👍
VT front calipers are a twin piston caliper NOT 4 pistons as the owner said
Also the engine is from a VS Commodore which makes it a Chev bellhousing bolt pattern so his Trimatic won't bolt up to it with either redrilling the block or putting another bellhousing on the Trimatic transmission.
Transmission is fitted with a Torque Power bellhousing, so will will bolt straight up.👍
👍🏻👏🍺
No is GTR Sills look like they’re well-made
whats happening to the XU-1, has the build stopped ?
Hey Peter. We will be starting on the Xu-1 in a week or 2. Once we start we will have new episodes up.
as good as the originals hey...lol hopefully better :)
vh will need adaptor plate if bolting trimatic to turbo block, and 3.55 gears be way too low, be takingof in 2nd and top speed 80kph @ 4500 rpm
Bellhousing changed to suit bolt pattern.
3.55 gears will be 3000 rpm 100km/h.
Cheers 👍
@@chriswestern6226 lol my 3.08 gears do 100 at 3500 rpm and thats manual, goodluck with it
You might want to check the ratio again.
I have another car with same gearing as the VH. 3000 rpm at 100km/h. Mate has auto HQ with 3.55 gears and, you guessed it...3000 rpm at 100. Auto or manual no matter...1:1 top gear in transmission. 3500 rpm would be 3.7 or 3.9.
@@chriswestern6226 yes ,you're right, I ran a 3.08 diff in my old Valiant with auto and revved at about 2800 at 100. 3500 revs at 100 sounds like my old Datsun 200b with 3.89 and auto.
In retrospect, this car should have been weighed, before you started removing all the dodge and bog, then weighed again when finished so we could have seen how many hundreds of Kg it lost 😂
I hate to say this but Holden never made a 304 they went from 308 to 5.0 L the only car was a vk that had a 4.9 for group A in the uk but it was a 308 with small head to make 4.9 I have a book from Holden from the start up to vx and no mention of a 304 at all
The 304 had a different crank of course:- "In 1985, a destroked version of the 308, known as the 304 but still sold as a 5.0L engine, was introduced to allow the VK to compete with a lower minimum weight (1325 kg, a saving of 75 kg) under the 4501-5000cc regulations of Group A touring car racing.[6]"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_V8_engine
No I didn’t think so because when they changed with the vb some car had a 5.0 L block but a 308 crank and when I had a ss with a 5.0 L and went to Holden for some parts and you said you have a 304 they looked at with a funny look on there face and went you meant 308
@@davidreyne7119 A 304 cubic inch is a destroked 308.ie different crank The 308 was a 5.0 litre and the 304 is a 4.9 litre. I have had several of both engines. The reason 304 is not mentioned in your book is because they call it 4.9 litres. And i hate to say it, but a "small head", whatever that means, does not alter the cubic inch or litres of an engine! Only the bore and or stroke can do that!
@@rajahhindi3921 hi I don’t know about that but LP ,(Larry Perkins) has informed us that the only 4.9 was in the vk for group A racing and all they did was put smaller port heads on them and that all he had 139 engine’s made by Holden where he had more metal added to part’s off the engine if you can get one you have a good motor
@@davidreyne7119 If you do not believe about the difference google it! Difference of a 308 to 304 Holden engine. As i said ive had several of both. Have you ever heard of going from imperial to metric? Thats what 308/304 cubic inches IS to 5.0L/4.9L.And It was the crank stroke that was changed! Porting of a head does nothing to change the cubic in/Litre of a engine. All that does is allow more air flow into the engine. AS for Larry, i am sure you are mixed up on what he was saying! Sigh
