Building my Dream JDM Wagon! Barra Powered Crown FULL BUILD!

Woody's 600+HP Barra converted JDM Sleeper wagon has been a dream build for over 5 years and over the last 4 months has undergone a huge transformation.
We've compiled all of the footage and condensed the episodes into one MASSIVE episode.
Going back through the episodes gives you an idea of how much effort went into this project and it wouldn't have been possible without the help of our legendary mates and epic companies that support the show.

[@nuclearpotato6616]

Good luck going down to Sydney for the race! Enjoy ya new rims!

[@honestpat7789]

Quite the sentimental tone for a TSF episode-absolutely loving it 👏

[@One_Shot_Garage]

Some of my favorite builds have come out of the Skid Factory and this Crown is certainly one of them! More motivation to get my own projects finished

[@craigdavies69]

Agreed, I was just sitting here watching this and thought damn I really need to get out into the garage.

[@mrsam5350]

Agree with that, it's the feal of the build 👍🏽

[@jamesbaylis9438]

Thx again for allowing us to hang out in the shed, watching you guys pour your blood, sweat and gears into another mammoth project. The smile at the end of the Dyno session says it all, now go out there and drive. Till the fuel tank runs dry, till there is no tyre trend left and made some memories. ❤❤

[@clearstream67]

Well done, Woody. Big projects are tough. I finished renovating a 1981 Airstream trailer three years ago. I have over 1200 hours of labor in it over seven years. I love it dearly.

[@rodsantos9325]

You've come a long way, Woody. Good on you, mate.

[@andygrace3825]

Epic edit Woody, was great to re-live the build, still waiting for the skid out of the shed, you guys help keep a lot of people sane with a weekly dose of awesome work and great humour really appreciated, enjoy the wagon.

[@dpaterson42]

I came to the skid factory for turboyoda, but we all left with a woody! Great work!! This was awesome and your face in some of the shots is bang on.. ! Go smash some 11’s woody!

[@stevem7889]

Killing it bro. Well done. I met you and Al in melbourne almost 16 months ago at the billy kart challenge and both of you spent the time to chat and were so down to earth. I can see this new adventue is going to be epic for you and live all those dreams. Good luck champ Cheers steve

[@scopeperformance1286]

Such an epic build to follow guys . Looking forward to some full boost content . More long form vids please! Also lol @ sneaky ‘Alan was here’ 😂

[@whythelongface6211]

awesome work fellas. I'm currently on my x73 1985 Cressida with a barra. Running a 3584 gen 3 turbo. Based in WA it's been a project for the last 2.5 years.

[@justinsouthaus]

Can’t believe you built this whole car in just over an hour 😳

[@fatsolutions]

Backyard blitz’d it

[@tomlipscomb2211]

It’s edited, it probably took a whole day.

[@saynomore3022]

I can’t pelieve it 2😂

[@OceanicGyogō]

Whaha lol 😂 👏

[@geocatwizard]

​@@tomlipscomb2211no way really, r/whoosh

[@4fourjaw]

Great video guys, can't wait to see this thing at the drags...

[@canadiantatertot]

Great job fellas. Great build. Very interesting and unique.

[@mickc8738]

I try not to miss an episode but thanks for sharing the start to finish guys👍 Wagons with barras are becoming something I'd like in the future so as always cheers and love the channel.

[@aserta]

0:41 Damn straight! There's so many nicks on my hands i've stopped counting them. Cars are my hobby away from other hobbies and work. Also a connection to my past and family. They're never easy to work on and any project you undertake that's more than swapping the fluids (tho even that one depends on who tightened the bung last) is bound to be a long term process, be it for work reasons or just plain inertia of getting things done right (which is why we start doing things in the first place).

[@stevesloan6775]

I really love how you stitched together all the parts of the build into a feature film😂😂😂 I hope other KZbin builds follow your example. I had seen all the episodes, so it was a nice walk down memory lane😂 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀😎☮️

[@ewingfox6459]

Epic build and fantastic edit - I've been ride or die since the first episode and patreon along with so many of your well-deserved fans., you guys are great.

[@colinmiles9390]

Looks good, I had a older Crown to which I put a Holden 186S engine, celica bellhousing and flywheel with the standard crown transmission with the old pull leaver overdrive and it was the best drive I ever had, was never short on power , economical and rode like on glass. Regret selling the old girl now

[@thomasphilyaw8593]

Loved EVERY video in this build!!! You deserve everything you have in that car Woody!!! Cheers Woody and Al

[@mndlessdrwer]

The 10mm socket is a master escape artist. Buy them in bulk. I'm still mad that Ford of America never tried to bring the modern Barra engine back to the US. At least we got the EcoBoost V6 series, which is nice, but it isn't nearly as robust and it's a lot more complicated to make serious power from. Like, decent power is very easy to find. You can mod chip or ECU swap an EcoBoost V6 and make 450-500HP relatively easily, but if you want to make more than that, you're kind of out of luck without tearing everything down. I also think that large flake pearl white is a wholly underappreciated color for cars. It's easily one of my favorites and I'm very happy to see you painting a classic JDM wagon in such a color. I think it suits the car beautifully.

[@motozz8258]

Rogan Industrys , Pro feshional ! Kool car man

[@cobyfield9237]

Done well mate! The intercooler setup you made up looks well thought out and worked perfectly, very clean. Same with the surge tank, goes to show putting some thought and heart into it makes a difference.

[@vladimirtomsk937]

Люблю такие проекты! Уважение парням , которые сделали такой проект ! 💪👍

[@Yuriy_Lado_Y30]

когда наши говорят мол такой мотор не поставить, потому что трапеция будет конфликтовать с поддоном, австралийцы просто вырезают конфликтное место, заваривают и соединяют половины поддона трубочкой)))

[@Alester142]

@@Yuriy_Lado_Y30 у нас еще можно рулевую сделать по форме поддона... там это запрещено...

[@TJForehand]

Congrats Woody and Al for completing an amazing build! I've thoroughly enjoyed watching every step!

[@greatdane3343]

Congratulations team! Great build and great edit. Hope you are enjoying your vehicle Woody 👍

[@jamesmartin9898]

Great job team Absolutely amazing Just love your down to earth builds.

[@mickanon5607]

Great intro Woody. Very well spoken.

[@Stungray22]

Love it all being put together feature film woodski ❤👌🔥

[@jonnewton5929]

Well done Woody. Your car, your way. Looks mint to mate. All the comforts and power. Congratulations, enjoy.

[@Legoman585]

Best ep ever guys, been watching since MCM introduced this strange guy called Turbo Yoda. I have watched most of these eps already but watching it from beginning to end on Friday night with a few Lemon squashes was awesome. Awesome car Woody, Awesome edit.

[@frankwinspear6296]

love the super cut, awesome job on the crown

[@iannorton4463]

Wow guys I just can't wait for the next video to see this animal blasting down the road/strip..✌️👍🇬🇧

Excellent bro! Excellent

[@retromo6636]

Congratulations woody on an awesome effort mate and all your colleagues well done

[@gmccrudd1]

Another awesome job gents!!!

[@assaultlick2169]

Wooooody! Stoked to see the journey

[@Mach1048]

Music is great on this one Guys! And watching this whole build all bundled up? Real good.

[@ToiletduckX]

The beginning of this video made me feel much better about my (so far 2 year) project. Still my favorite channel onthe tubes....

[@fatsolutions]

What a great build and video! Loved the long form

[@josephkelly4893]

Beautiful build Woody

[@JTAdventures79]

Fantastic build love it

[@H3avyHaul3r]

been an enjoyable build…and if you are truly into cars its a must to do something like this once in your life….

[@RobRichards584]

Great build

[@MitchGuindon]

Excellent work, Woody! I did watch the individual episodes of this build and they were great as well, but I must say I really liked this full build edit. I would like to see you do this on future builds as well. Can't wait to see what is next!

[@jantheman2001]

Alan was there alright , what an awesome build, enjoy your dream car, i enjoyed watching you build it .

[@007Knightjp]

It's always a pleasure to watch Alan work. The attention to detail. Basically it engineering on the fly. Much like another youtube channel and their mini project.

[@josephkisner5997]

Everything you two build is mint!!!

[@sammcgeown5184]

Always love watching the multiple episodes on your builds. This one’s been just as good. Always informative. You both literally gave me the motivation to build my own car in my shed. I know exactly how u feel now woody, finally having a car you’ve been slowly building for years. Great video once again. 👏🏽

[@brucewrandol]

Excellent video! I liked your approach to explaining exactly the what’s and why’s for your doing things. I love sleepers. I have a subcompact 66 Rambler American. The best is it has a 383 cu inch stroker that dyno tested to meet and exceed 435 horsepower by Blueprint Engines. Just what a 75 year old needs. I have had it sideways a couple of times. Pulled it out of that with no physical damage.

[@DarrenBoxhall]

Drill small holes through the heads of the flexplate bolts and use safety wire to link them all so they can't back out or loosten

[@grahamwaddingham620]

Great job. Great video. Love the car and the effort!

[@magnusandreasson2383]

Keep up the good work 👍💪 regards from Sweden

[@aserta]

I wonder if anyone has ever made a slant conversion for a Barra... 25:09 yup. Silver solder (and other types of similar welding) aren't very difficult to achieve once you have the theory down. It's just a matter of being patient with the process and yourself and giving it a go. Certainly VERY useful skill to have in your bag of tricks, and something every car fella with a shop should learn even if they only use it once or twice.

[@fendel_]

Such a wonderful build.

[@raddeal1]

Well done fellas

[@CWJGARAGE]

Great work guys! What a build! 👌

[@70XU1]

Mega car from mega blokes. Congratulations Woody, could feel the emotion. If you've done it you actually do get it 👌

[@jayburrough4308]

It looks like it came from the factory like that just an awesome build.brig more content on the crown 👑

[@rcadd1ct]

I spent 2.5 years building my basket case project all in my garage. Rebuilt EVERYTHING. Rewired. Painted. The lot. Only thing I didn’t do was rebuild the top loader and install the windshield. Congrats on getting yours to where you can enjoy it.

[@crispyirishman9488]

love the build

[@gazza116]

well done loved it.

[@rhysrhysu8038]

I love the fridge idea but I hope to see it upholstered nicely to fit the beautiful brown interior. I have an 89 Celsior with a brown fabric interior and I love it.

[@tagis8281]

The opening of this video has me misty its so damn relatable. Nothing but 100% so true!!

[@hizzeist]

Great build and a great video

[@danharcombe6569]

Good on ya woody. Nice work.

[@jeremywheaton6244]

Onya gents

[@seannorris8893]

That’s a extremely badass well put together build I wish I had a group of friends here in the USA like you do, unfortunately it gets boring doing everything solo cause not to many find joy in the car world nowadays, maybe one day I can fly over and experience the car culture in aus, I want a hsv Ute so badly here in the states too

[@adrianw3985]

What an awesome car, love it.

[@petelattimer6808]

brilliant video. the car seems to mean a lot to Woody so its great hes happy with the end(ish) result!

[@theskidfactory]

Not sure why I like whacky old Toyotas so much but there’s just something about them that I love!

[@johnciesielczyk204]

Really great episode guys. I love the longer format. I really enjoyed it thanks.

what a beast!

[@leonwayne7657]

Your welcome, Woody. ✌️

[@theoriginalwallace]

Congrats, Woody! She's a real beaut!! I'm with you on the project car highs & lows... my health has taken a nosedive as of late, so it's kinda slowed down the Viva build. The finances are no longer there, so the turbo YB engines, new parts & Haltech elite 2500 had to be sold in favour of cheaper Range Rover 4.6 V8 gear. At least I'll get it done some day... 10 years & counting! Cheers. Leigh.

[@thegearheadchico7759]

OMG Woody you are 💯 CORRECT.
