What comp has the engine got?

Just wondering if there was any update on the tail light buckets and if you were selling them as yet ? Cheers

Hey mate, where did you order your carpet from ?

Awesome work mate, you are so close now. Can't wait to see it finished. A real inspiration to us all Barnesy

So good to hear it running in the Ute. Getting close now

They are a very cool tuff Ute indeed I see you have the quarter panel lines looking mint nice work as I see so many with no lines full of bog looks hot 🔥

Your mates Dubyah Bee is a very sweet Streeter. I can appreciate what has gone into that drivetrain with the COME Racing Heads (they ain't cheap) and the rest of the engine components & running gear. Also, to take the time to instal AC so that it would be a pleasure to drive in any weather takes a lot of extra effort. Not to mention having to get the whole car roadworthy and registered. Well done him! Your car is looking (& sounding) the goods too. I love the wheels with the grey paint. Vey nice 👌

First thing I’ll say you look like Tom Cruise in the top gun movies twin … anyway cool video brings back memories of dads 74 HQ statesman deville was a mint car when I was kid I remember the only thing he didn’t like about his car never lift the bonnet in the rain as all the water 💦 went straight into the dizzy stuck on the side of road for awhile luckily he had WD 40 in the boot

It lives yay ,sounding fat and those wheels look the part , nice job on the tail light housings , great work

beat that rare spares job well done

G'day Barnesy. Did you find a new grommet for those fuel tank pipes or have to use your old one? I couldn't find one😢

Good work Barnsey, that motor sounds very nice. The good old 308 certainly had plenty up its sleeve, a testament to the Aussie engineers who developed it all those years ago. I will be in line for a set of those buckets, along with everyone else, when you get going on them. Jeff

Nice work mate be good to see it finished 👍🏻

You are doing a great job mate, I have been watching from the start. I have finished mine HZ sedan.

Bloody awesome hearing this thing run! Just keep in mind on the aeroflow shifter, the lug you are going to mount the indicator on is used for the cable to the trans. So probably wont work, just picked up one of the shifters myself, nice bitta kit they are.

Been following for a while and it's great to finally see it running. You must be stoked. Take a look at Build ninja mate for custom made shift indicator set ups might save you a few head aches. I am going to go that way if I ever get off my arse and get a quickshifter for my HZ

Tis looking great. Terrific job on those tail lights. I am interested to see how shiny you can get the silver backing. My WB headlights were printed silver by the previous owner. They were great if you didn't need it to light up the road 😮

awesome mate. your getting close. I fitted the rare spares console to my hj tonner recently. take into consideration the carpet thickness before you weld the brackets to the floor mate. just a thought. can't wait to see your beast finished ive been following your build for the last couple of years

Great job 👍🇦🇺

I've been following this for years, gee how time flies, doing well Barnesy, the lil tacker looks happy, great you have a friend to help out and get you motivated, utes coming along nice and sounds great, please do some research before putting the whole front end together they can be tricky, good luck mate, keep us updated, Cheers.

Bloody awesome mate

Should of just used a original shifter ,less messing around for no real benefit, Motor sound healthy mate.

Love the intro, won't be long now and you will be driving it.

In frame and running! Good stuff dude 👍🏼

U must be wrapped man sounds mint well done bud

I'm not great with words but a massive congratulations and an Aussie bloke to bloke hug thank you for filling the void of the tail light housings!!!!

Have you still got the old girl?

Nice work Barnesy. I've been doing similar stuff for the LH/LX Torana dash clusters for a few years and love seeing similar work being done for other models. Good onya. Great video and great product.

I am not a painter but I think you have done a great job of painting your car

i love this mate, i brought my wb almost the same month you started this project all those years ago, i did a budget resto back in the day with the money i had as an apprentice now ive been a qualified auto electrician for a few years and im in a good stage were ive brought a house and have the abillity to give the old girl the resto she deserves. id love to see this thing in person one day i honestly feel like ive grown with this this ute, when shes done id happily do a road trip to see her at a show.

Sounds stout as

looks like you might have to buy a couple more printers. haha. keep up the good work.

Any of this work in stl files and would it for in wb 84 dash?

This reminds me of a conversation i had with a work mate who's visiting from Australia. He mentioned he had a Holden V8 WB ute back home and was thinking about putting a 355 stroker kit in it. At the time i said a LS/460le would probably be easier and cheaper and yield better results. But one thing i wasn't thinking about is the purity factor and the fact the cars are just as much emotion as function. Also being a proud Australian he wants to represent the local product. In all those respects a LS would be wrong. So now I get it.

C-h-y-n-a-!-!-!-!

I hate flat tappet cams

I put a brawler on my 253 couple weeks ago mate the best thing since sliced bread

Pretty much only way to do a first start cold 🥶 after 12 months sitting is pull out spark plugs wind it over until your oil pressure gauge starts to reach its maximum before starting the engine as starting a dry engine will burn the bearings and seals you basically wanna see all the rockers wet with oil before starting it

Go the old soft block not bad at all 450 hp

If I was going holden I’d rather go for the VT 304 roller cam engine pretty short it’s block is already for the chev crank to bolt straight up with out ant block relieving has better mains and oil pump from memory

Juice is better

Impressive

Slow that printer down and you will get way better results

Do u do gauge holders for a hj monaro .?

Awesome job Barnesy. How good is technology these days!! You have discovered a really great future and can now take pride in building whatever you want!! Great stuff

When are you blokes going to wake up , i stopped using Flat tappet cams 20 years ago , have a look at the bullshit you had to do and it still failed , if a customer asked me to build him a engine with a Flat tappet cam i would tell him to take it else ware .Roller Cam or forget it , you will gain better realibility, more Torque and Horsepower than any Flat Tappet cam , Rocket - Man Race Engines

Hey mate, these look like they turned out pretty well. I'd be interested in a set as mine are pretty cactus.

Bloody ripper👌

Just a tip for PLA. Keep the lid and door open, it's a pain to unclog the extruder when the PLA gets too soft and wraps around the gears. But great work reverse engineering that light. People just assume that its a simple scan and you're done job. But when you explain what actually goes into it they don't want to get the work done anymore.

How much of the KBS Matt did you need for the ute?
