Bush Mechanics Series Ep 1 - Motorcar Nutju

The Bush Mechanics have promised to travel up to Willowra and play a gig. On the way the roof caves in from being overloaded ...so they chop it off and use it as a sled. But they get there eventually and the kids go wild! A Rebel Films, Warlpiri Media Co-Production

[@edwardfletcher7790]

This is peak Australia car culture and incredible off road repair advice all in one ! I really wish these lads had made a lot more episodes !

Making five eps nearly killed me as it is!

I had a bush XC Ute. Got me to work in Perth then all the way to Wagga Wagga. One pit stop in Wagin for a quick spray to cover all the bits that might attract attention. Died on my new homes driveway. Swapped it for a 61 Futura Sedan. Swapped that after a spit and polish for a XC Coup. Traded that in for a new XR6. Best free Ute I ever. I was one of the people who supported you mob. We often chat on other projects.

Nice one...thanks for that Granger

Rebel Films you are welcome /well, I think in this case three of these are enough, without the intimacy 😎. the writer was married twice and he was searching for that kind of perfection between a man and a woman./

15:44 this moment is just bittersweet for me with that music and they just look very fun and sad for me at the same time.

[@kevintucker3354]

Best show I’ve seen in a long time! Damn road termites!

[@RobMacKendrick]

Used to watch this on the CBC. It ran back to back with Bush Tucker Man -- another epic Australian series. I don't know which of my reactions is dominant here: amazement at the ability of these people to do anything with nothing (including money), or horror at the implied risk of their solutions. But these guys are superheroes, either way.

[@Problimatic]

I'm not sure what this is yet... But I'm gonna continue to watch 😄 The drums lmao 5:02

[@simonainscough619]

these are the cars/vehicles that built this country and got people to where they had to be, no 4wd, no aircon/climate control no complaints either just get on with it. another sentiment, spirit, ideology way of life whatever you want to call it that we seem to have forsaken for cheap convenience Im not a whinging boomer not even a boomer but lifes experiences were more these boys are not cocooned in a $100000 worth of space shuttle tech and they are relying on their own brains what an alien concept today. Cheers to these men and the ladies who live/lived this and little did they know how valuable their rides would becme.

[@jaimemetcher388]

Wasn't so long ago that the only people who had 4wd were the army and they weren't sharing. Everyone else had rwd holden and ford cars, with a bit of plating welded underneath to protect the gearbox and diff. No trick suspension, no special tyres. Climate control was taping newspaper to the windows to stop the radiant heat coming in, with just a slit left to see through. Nothing could keep the dust out though.

wtf is this? I watched it all. This is a TV show i imagine (camera angles). With maybe some true history/stories involved? Pretty cool to see something like this come where it did! Other parts seem real. The main reason of doubt is that the roof was sliced off with a tool before they took a hatchet to it. (super clean cut) .... Okay after searching yeah, its a TV show. Reality, where its 50/50 truth.

So they took the parts out of the car and put them 10 feet away to make it look like they found them randomly or took them from other cars?

[@RebelFilms]

It’s just a tv show mate

[@jaimemetcher388]

Some places there really are car parts lying around. On the old Nullarbor dirt road there seemed to be an abandoned wreck every few miles, and discarded wheels more frequently than that.
