EVER LOST MOTIVATION FOR YOU CAR BUILD? YOU CAN HAVE EVERYTHING I HAVE & MORE + VL UPDATE 

Awwwww, Jake. The honesty, emotion, it’s raw and it’s factual, no warts in your face reality. I don’t know you but I wish I did. The chemistry between you and Mark is incredible. Thank you for spilling your guts with the hard facts of life. Awesome mate, awesome.

Best part of a Sunday night when Jake’s chop shop vid drops 👌🏽

Big respect for chucking up a video like this. Honest and tells it like it is👊

Massive respect to you Jake your hard work will pay off very humble and authentic your channel is going to go big get used to the abundance alot of people are going to be inspired from the episodes you put out!! Best episode yet very relatable!!

Bite off more than you can chew and chew like hell - Peter Brock said that and it’s been in my head ever since

Jake iam old school respect respect to you brother your an old soul in a young body...

It's so refreshing to hear someone these days talk some real shit. I have bulk respect for your no BS approach. Love your videos, keep them flowing!

Hey Jake I’m an old fart & I loved your wisdom. I will be saving this & listen to it often. Keep it coming.

Mate what can I say, least amount of car content for one of your vids yet but hands down the best episode you have put out. Well said and well done. Doesn't get much more real and honest then that. Keep it up man.

Loud and clear bro, I moved 8 hours away from anything I know and love and when I gets tough these videos are pure motivation to keep hustling

I used to a panel beater and doing a car from scratch is a huge amount of work alot of ups and downs and lots of cash needed these days.

Your little wooden table, my mum and dads coffee table in the lounge room, exactly the same story. Fuck it’s good to have someone as relatable as you to put out these videos. Every weekend after working on my car and I’m just fkn over the sight of it, I watch your video and think what to do next. You give the Motivation and the relatability. Top shit mate keep it up 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Luke still has his chop shop model cars. Some have blowers and diy turbos glued to them. Also car mats with permanent marker " burnout marks" I love it! Keep on keeping on jake we love the realness and honesty!

Love hearing your thoughts mate. Agree 100% NOTHING comes without hard work. Grind 100 hours a week all day long

Wise man once said it’s not a mistake if you fix it

Sound advice, the only person in this life we can depend on is ourselves, I’ve been let down too many times, and building something yourself is the greatest reward money can’t buy 💪

"Make the car community great again" How fkn good GIVE A FUCK ❤ Nah wicked video mate definitely a goodcunt Not only the reason I watch your vids is because of vl content as I've got a wagon one But also watch because your straight up and can relate to myself Just a nobody learning my own skills growing slowly No hand outs or tikupz Keep it up

Im older than u jake but u sound very similar its good to see there is a few genuine people out there work hard stay humble help the next guy.

Im 50 years old, boilermaker and vl crazy. Had a swag of lw5's Calais, Berlin and sl's. I do everything my self and have always invested in myself instead of paying other like you. Heaps of trial and error and lot of satisfaction. Alao have a yellow vl like the one in this vid. This is the first vid i have watched of yours, what a great intro for me. Great attitude.

Love your honesty. The work ethic of today’s youth has flown out the window ☹️ ☺️

Jake I love the honesty and you’re such a ( real ) person who calls it as it is keep the awesome videos coming. I’ve been into cars my whole life and my son is too. We’re not painter’s but just backyarders who give it a go. Self satisfaction is priceless mate!

Thank you Jake! If you can picture it in your mind you can hold it in your hand 👌 cheers m8

Jake, I wouldnt normally comment on a video, but I had to for this one. I have nothing but respect for what you say. What a fantastic video! Your raw and realistic insite is an inspiration and pure reality of the superficial world we live in. I hope that you have teenage and young subscribers watching this video, because what you say is honest and a harsh reality. There are no free rides in this world, but there is nothing you can't do without blood. sweat and tears. You are proof of that. Thanks for keeping it real.

The moment you said if you motivated one person that's good enough to you, you won my respect brother keep kicking goals mate

Man I’m a young bloke my self with a few project cars on the go and I know the lack of motivation to do the work on the cars I’m in the middle of doing rust cut outs that I’ve never done before and after watching this it makes me want to finish it more I love your videos man and love your work keep it up your an inspiration for all the young guys out there

Great update Jake, always enjoy watching your videos. Massive respect for this video, really appreciate your honesty and advice on building cars and doing it yourself. You have shown what a great attitude and hard work can give you in life.

hits different when your driving around in the car youve put blood sweat n tears into.. 100s of hours of work, built not bought all day!

I dig the way you are straight up and honest. No BS.Plus. It looks like you're having fun when your mates are there. As for this video. I enjoyed it. keep them coming! Chopt it up!

Fair play Jake you are living your dream and have worked very hard to get there.

Its a passion Jake been doing it since i was 16 as an apprentice mechanic still doing it at 68 Keep the hood work up mate

You sound exactly like me, never had a lot of money growing up aswell so I try to do everything I can possibly do myself or even try to learn to myself, made a shit load of mistakes and a lot of learning curves but wouldn’t change a thing and will always try do it myself

This is the best content iv every seen on u tube. Jake ur brutal honesty is what seperates u from everyone else. Truely skilled car builder

Love your attitude! We are very alike lock self in shed music on and grind jeez thats how i get it 😂 Im self taught build all my cars paint fab wiring, mechanical , I taught myself efi tuning the lot. I outsource nothing unless its an expensive specialist tool I cannot afford. I often get the oh you have that car you must be loaded. Nah bro i just hustled and made this happen myself. I have my own bussiness not in the automotive industry but i work the day get home and get in the shed every night and work again. I have kids a mortgage aswell. Thanks for putting videos up every sunday for me to wind down too🍻🍻

No one in my family was into cars and we never had a car worth more then 2k when i was growing up ( 90s early 20s) . I became a Diesel Fitter but ended up obsessed with fab work. Ive built 2 cars so far so i can definitely relate to where you're coming from .

100% agree mate. Well said. I brought a vh slx 21 years ago, its sat in my shed until a couple of years ago never moved. I had big plans but lost all motivation, it recently got painted and i have now have got it back rolling and fitted all drivline. Cammed ls with t56. I have 2 sons we are all building a car each now. Youngest son has vk, oldest son has a vl slowly getting there. All self taugh here aswell brother. Best was to save %%. Its all time and money end of the day.

Love your attitude and honesty Jake 👍

Well done Jake… first person who has tells the truth… I’m here for the long haul and watch your channel grow!

Jake, just brilliant. You have inspired me to work on my VL. I was thinking about selling it as it needs a few small things done that have been annoying me on my sunday cruises. I will now do it myself where i can. Cheers from 55yr old Big Ron

Mate….I was keen as to see more on the VL this week but, wow!! Your a legend mate! Such respect! Enjoyed watching this and bring back child hood memories of much the same as you! Mate your a genuine bloke that takes time for his viewers Mate I’m much the same i won’t to tackle all projects I do wheather it’s my car,house anything, resources are out there RU-vid is the best one and I feel it’s more rewarding for yourself Keep up the good work mate good to mix it up with Jakes talks 👍

I love this video. I built cars with my friends as a teenager learning by doing making mistakes and trying again and then got married and had kids and didn’t touch cars for a long time. Then my kids got to the age to drive and into cars and passed on my knowledge to them helping them with their cars. I still don’t have a lot of money to pay someone to build my dream car an LC Torana GTR XU1 in Plumdinger. I can’t afford a 2 door let alone the XU1 but found an LC Torana 4 door. I have spent the last couple of years working on it and get what you were saying about the motivation. I spent 6 months not touching the car when I was struggling with the cutting and welding and didn’t seem to be making any progress making mistakes and re doing it again but the satisfaction you get from those little wins encourages me to keep going. It’s taking me way longer than I expected but it’s my dream car so I keep going saving money buy parts get back in the shed and do the next thing. Your an inspiration to many young people mate so don’t sell yourself short. I know for myself I have learned things watching your videos and I am sure I wouldn’t be the only one. Keep up the great work.

Your a true gentleman habib keep up the great work this world needs more people like you true to your word 👌👌👌👍👍

Well done about time a guy will have a chat about his Passion this is good for the young Generation not just about Cars

The most humble message I’ve heard in a long time

Well I watched this awhile ago, decided to just jump into the vl. Done all underneath bushings, trailing arms, radius bushings lower control arms, engine transplant, new sensors all round, cas rebuild, timing, fueltank clean things I've never ever laid a hand on but I've completed that & the rear with some failures along the way but its also been the best learning experience. Now I'm determined to save my baby and start the body prep! First time for everything I guess, there's only one way to learn. Fuck up and come back from it 😀

amazing video man. tried liking it 4 times while watching. love your videos super raw no bullshit. I re-watch all your videos all week waiting for the next one

PASSION FOR CARS WILL NEVER DIE! BLESSED 🙌 LIVING THE DREAM CHEERS ASH B

Love your work brother, your mentality and how you tell it how it is is inspiring. 👍🏻

What a video true honest heaps of respect bro I busted my ass off to excel at work but 12months ago I was medically retired at 43 yrs young my back has gone on me to the point I can walk 4-5 days a week with in my house but pain reminds me im still alive and cars are everything to me so still LS Swapping my hj Ute and building new tray it’s taking me a bit longer to do but I’m going to get it done. Keep up the great videos and love the work bud 👍

Great and honest video mate. Old school hot rodding style of having a go and building a car. Keep the videos coming Jake

Mate your a legend and your videos are helping me heaps and my son watches aswell hard work is definitely the way

Spot on Jake, You could see the emotion on your face mate!! Killer content as always mate👌

Thanks for keeping it real Jake and living that childhood dream of yours..

Your doing really well mate, good guy and a hard worker. 1 piece of advice from an old spraypainter, spend an extra day and paintsrip mate, Eliminates sinkbacks

Hey champ, just watched this episode, it’s so refreshing to see somebody doing there thing, I am older mate but had humble beginnings, I have a shop for Myself and I do a few jobs to pay the rent and keep my family fed. I agree the world has gone to shit, I train auto motive apprentices, and I also train mechanical engineers. It’s hard to get the youth of today to understand that hard work does pay off, and that just because you don’t have a million dollars in the bank doesn’t mean your life is fulfilled. I see myself so lucky to have the opportunity to impart my knowledge of trades to the youth of today, and see them succeed. Love your show, and thank you for speaking out mate.legend

Massive respect on your views and beliefs! Very rare to find, keep being you :))

Respect Jake, thanks for keeping it real mate, so many u tubers trying to make the world so artificial, like you a grafter myself, thankful for your heartfelt episode, you dont realize mate how inspirational you actually are today, I definitely relate to your adventure so far keep up the great real entertainment mate

Awesome stuff mate. Same here old school work ya arse off and enjoy the rewards. Keep doin what ya doin and don't change anything. Love ya work.👍⚡👍🔥

Well that wasn't what I was expecting this week.. certainly different Your not negative at all,your a realist, nothing wrong with that.. Keep it the good work

Love the vid Jake much respect. You motivate me but it's because of the person you are. A real true blue bloke that explains everything rather than just look at me videos like 90% of other youtubers.

Excellent Video, love the insight into your motivation and drive to succeed. Have an engineering business and 💯 agree with eat, sleep and breathe where u want to take it for personal success

Well done young man. Your attitude in life will make you a success story. Be careful of young Sam Vatsillas. He’s a poo pirate!

Really like this style of video once in a while update like this would be sick. Relate to alot of what you said

Watch your videos all the time, thanks for sharing. I have no clue how to build a car, not very hands on. After watching your video I've started building my car, making it a turbo

I feel as tho I have a similar mentality to you I am 21 still young bought my first car at 15 and still have that car. I live to work on my cars and push my self to build my cars. I started my heavy diesel mechanic at 15 and was qualified by 19 every single after I am in the shed working on my cars people walk past the shed and stop and talk and tell me about the cars they used to have when they why my age they tell me they see me every day working and working and I just tell them that it is my passion. I do absolutely everything my self on my cars and push my self to doing new things with them and could never bring my self to pay someone to do the things I do to them. I hear prices of what people pay to get things done to there car and am complaining shocked because I don’t ever get to see that side of it because I do everything myself. During covid i decided to start a RU-vid channel doing what I love building my cars and am now super proud of where I am with nearly 2000 subscribers. I entered my car in a burnout competition that was 6 weeks away as a cammed LS1 with a custom paint job. But I’m reality it was just a standard V6 VX commodore. We pushed and pushed and I worked every single afternoon/night until 11-12pm for 6 weeks straight with help from my dad I documented my journey on my RU-vid channel all in my shed at home. We resprayed the whole car, done a LS conversion cammed the motor ran gearbox lines wires and everything required to get the car running and 3 days before the event we finished the respray on the car. The feeling I had after that car was done after all the hard work and dedication that got put in to it after the the money forked put in those 6 weeks that feeling was something I have never ever felt before and was by far the best experience in my life. Seeing the car finished after being physically and emotionally drained with ups and downs the whole build was the most amazing feelings I reckon I will ever have. Thank you your videos are very motivational and inspire me to get pushing my dream to be bigger and bigger!!

Good shit Jake. Always better when you do it yourself. If ya love what ya do then it isn’t work anymore. Passion for cars is a love only car people understand. 🚗 Nothing better than driving ya pride and joy once all the hard work is done. Build it break it fix it.

Easy way to put it work to be proud of what you do don't work to be happy because if you re proud of what you do happiness just follows

Really enjoyed this... Heaps of respect... I'm actually the original builder and original owner of gas-747.... And the guy who owns it now takes all the credit ...you know that you're a Mr Paul.... I was forced to sell that...I work damn hard to build not for show just for my own sense of pride 💯😎😎 really loving your content bro🇨🇮🇳🇿🦂🚘

Hell yeah brother- such an honest and down to earth insight to you and what you do Jake. Absolute bloody legend- keep doing what you’re doing mate, we are all loving it😎👌🏼

Yea i love your work ethics brother. Thats the only thing stopping anyone. Work hard play hard 🤘

Good video mate. Us car guys are all the same, i was like you growing up, didn't know anything, lived breathed and dreamt about cars, still do, we arent born knowing this stuff, i couldn't afford to pay people either, and now i have 2 vc valiants i restored, 1 being a genuine vc v8. I too learnt to do everything i possibly can myself. A lot of knowledge now days is all on youtube. Respect to you mate for keeping it real. Love ya channel 👍

Kudos Jake well spoken and a catalyst for all the young people wanting direction in life

Absolutely brilliant Jake, I'm 52 years old and it has inspired me to get back in the shed and get on with the build, keep up the good work man!!!

Solid speech Jake hardwork dedication blood sweat n tears Respect to you

You're very humble mate...🙏💯🇳🇿🇳🇿

Spot on Jake, you are one of the most grounded no bs person I know. "Show me your friends and I'll show you your future."

💯 agree in everything you say mate always building cars and helping out the people that can't do their own car don't rip anyone off I am call lop shop at work car I work out of the shed at home love of paint aka lop and going to put on my car my old skool sticker backyard tinshed performance lol cheers for a great video can't wait for next one and next one

I've made a few fuck ups with cars, engine rebuild gone wrong, lost motivation got it out onto the rebuild, found rust in the plenum, didn't kmow how to do rust repairs properly but managed to get it done. this video was killa so much support and motivation to keep on the grind. I'd love to have a boss like you. straight to the point. motorvated.

Massive respect to you Jake your hard work with your channel will pay off very humble & authentic ! Your channel is going to get big & I think you've done the best ever chat with everyone here tonight. I enjoy every episode you bring particularly this one I have watched this until the end. Much respect as always from me. I'm a Ford man my self but I do like Holdens as well as both. I have a 2001 - Narooma Blue - Ford Falcon SR AU series ll sedan - T-Bar automatic currently - may convert it to 5-speed manual (Grandpa spec) for my strict liking... I will be taking my time very slowly because I am only on a disability pension but that's ok I make the most of what I do as we all. I am pretty happy with what I'm doing. Cheers from William. Mount Gambier-South Australia 🌏🦘

That was some real talk! Lately I've completely lost interest in my own VL build, and I used to be full on with it.. so I've been thinking about it lately and thought I'd just RU-vid some VL shit and you're video really got me thinking again 💯 I'm gonna pull the tarp off it and go one hundred on it! 🤙

Great video mate, your channel and the information you share will be inspiring many to work on their own builds and learn… there’s no better satisfaction than learning a new talent and getting a job done yourself.. keep up the great work and vids 👍

As a guy doing the same thing with my cars on a much smaller level ur so right with everything u said can relate big time

Another Adelaide lad here, You are spot on with the discussion content mate, great vid, love how hard you constantly work day in day out!! That raffle scammer shit is a straight up joke and preying on hopeful people with the worst odds of winning possible…. Keep up the hard work Legend👌🏻

Great video Jake - I really appreciate your honesty and putting your thoughts out there. I love you willingness to ‘help’ people with your videos. That is very rare these days as most people are all about themselves and the ‘look at me attitude’ and you aren’t like that. We all need to help people, especially in these crazy times. Keep it up man, I’ve followed you from the start and I’ll continue to follow you 👍

Killed it mate! Love the authenticity, don’t change for no one! Love the content, one of the best dudes going on RU-vid

Cool episode man I can relate to alot you saying. 80s kid best Time growing up 👍 very inspiring and motivating me to get back into fixing my car's again, bring on the warm weather in SA peace

absolutley love this, you do great work and a young bloke like my self in a way we look up to you because were watching you do these sick cars but more importantly we are watching all your tips and tricks and its motivational, keep up the great work bud

Hey Jake, I watch your videos and like many others, very much enjoy the content. Have been a car guy all my life, had a couple of nice ones over the years, but life sometimes gets in the way and unfortunately you make tough decisions. Found your video tonight really interesting, your message about work ethic, goals, dedication and commitment resonated. I'm in my 50's now and finally might be in a position to get another car for myself. I'll keep an eye out on the channel to see what you might have come up to sell. Not a VL man, but luv the way the yellow one came together. Maybe a hq, HJ or VK might come through your shop, I'll keep watching. Keep up the great work mate.

Aren't we lucky a jakes chop shop episode on a Sunday, keep up the good shit mate this video was perfect was loosing motivation with my 720 ute this video made me get out there on the grinder amd welder for a few hours. Good luck with getting the vl ready in time legend 👍 🍻 👌

I've got to 80 percent finished on my build and lost interest at the moment .Hearing what you said in your video is exactly the mindset I need to get going again.Keep up the good work I'll look forward to your next video

Love your passion and honesty mate. Great idea to let people know a little bit about yourself, background and where you’re coming from.. Keep up the hard work, love your show and look forward to watching many more of your future builds.. Absolutely love the intro of your show, ( where the fire starts and you piss bolt away laughing 😂😂😂). Respect to you brother, cheers.

Awesome work mate. Keep up the great work and the inspiration for us all and your self.

Self learning, is the best tool to have at hand.

I see myself in you, being a Boilermaker running my own business in Custom Trailers and have a passion for VL’s. It takes a man to talk about his feelings. Remember Always start the day with gratitude. 😊

Absolute legend! Speaking so much truth! Huge respect!

Killer video man - old school mentality is the best mentality as far as I'm concerned 💪🏻

Love it mate. Love the work on vls. Cars my passion, keep me sane and keeps me going. It only money , we make it every day, can’t take it with you when leave earth. I’m just starting on a hz 1 tonner. Plenty of work to keep me going. Keep videos comin. Cheers.

spot on jake with what your saying im the same with my builds learnt it by doing it with no ones help. hard work is where its at.

Awesome work. Especially being in the middle of a car build seeing your video's on a Sunday arvo motivates me for the next week coming !! keep them coming
