HJ HOLDEN REBUILD or
WHAT I DID DURING COVID...
This clip shows just a bit of what was involved bringing our 1975 Holden ute back to life. But what you see here is pretty much what any rebuild of old machinery involves. Lots of cleaning, playing, trying and finally bolting together,

Great to see another ole gurl brought back to life Roothy.. You a gem mate used to watch all your 4wd Action DVDs year's ago John great behaviour right there mate!!!

@JOHNROOTHROOTHY 9 месяцев назад

Thanks mate - appreciate that

Great work John. Good to see you getting some old projects “finished” (there’s always something else to do). My HQ has been registered for 15 years and there’s still some things that need doing since the full rebuild. Make sure the kids carry the old Holden mantle.

A good build done right. This thing will go forever 🙌

@Circlotron 9 месяцев назад

Don't forget to connect the heater hoses to the inlet manifold. Makes it run heaps better, especially when cold.

@JOHNROOTHROOTHY 9 месяцев назад

Too roight, but we haven't been getting a lot of cold in Queensland lately - still haven't sorted any of the under dash v entilation either...

I still dearly miss both my EJ's, my 202 HX Kingswood, my 202 HJ Prem. I was a stupid young kid and stupidly sold them back in the day when they were worth peanuts. Now...sigh...it's like thinking back on your first love. Lovely job there mate, she's a beauty and I have a special place in my heart for the 202. If I had the money, I'd love to own an old Holden, pretty much done with BS, insanely complicated, poor;y built new cars that you can't get parts for 5 years after new. It's a shame though that these cars can't really be driven as dailies anymore because they're so valuable. Of course they're fun to drive and show off on special days.

@JOHNROOTHROOTHY 9 месяцев назад

I drive mine most chances I get, including trips to the tip, What gets me is we built these great cars in Australia once, now we make nothing.

@Chopper1392 9 месяцев назад

Good onya roothy, looks exactly like mine did when I got it!

@craigdewberry5129 9 месяцев назад

I enjoy watching you work on an old vehicle again.

@iandibley8032 9 месяцев назад

Great Those old Holden's are piss easy to work on too. Modern vehicles 4x4 included are full of electronics designed to make things harder or impossible for the backyarder. The other side of the coin breakdown on the road is so easy to repair. P.s..... Mum total me to stop feeling things when I was boy!

@JOHNROOTHROOTHY 9 месяцев назад

Couldn't agree more - simple is best, and you've got to cop a feel.

@budmcfly3311 8 месяцев назад

Love it. Such a shame we don’t have Holdens anymore. Simply good value for money vehicles. Drove well, reliable and looked good. Thanks for sharing

@JOHNROOTHROOTHY 9 месяцев назад

Yep I was lucky how straight this one was, even tho the steering column had collapsed from too many tracks.

@MrTrenooo 8 месяцев назад

Thats awesome Mate! the headlights are a sin though haha

@bluecent 9 месяцев назад

The HJ didn’t cop all of the ADR27A emissions plumbing that made the HX a thirsty slug. And how thin and panoramic are those A pillars on these!

@JOHNROOTHROOTHY 9 месяцев назад

HJ is all Australian too - makes you proud, but makes you wonmder why we can't do shit nowadays....

@FarqueKnowsWhere 9 месяцев назад

The balance and blueprint sounded nice and smooth. Good thing about Holden back in the day was there were lots and lots of em parked behind farmers sheds, plenty of parts, sometimes given away, now they’re like gold..

@JOHNROOTHROOTHY 9 месяцев назад

Yep. I couldn’t believe how hard it was to find basic stuff like a steering column or even a head that wasn’t cracked. The country ran on red motors once.

@tubbytub2990 9 месяцев назад

Hi Roothy I've been following your channel a long time. The Holden looks great. Hope you do a few trips in it. But I've got one question, do you still have the Mustard Toyota?

@JOHNROOTHROOTHY 9 месяцев назад

Yep, we're off on a big trip in the HJ soon - it'll show up here eventually. Yellow truck was sold a couple of years ago to a young family in Melbourne who are loving it - as they should!
