Ep28 V8 HOLDEN COMMODORE RESCUE PARKED FOR YEARS NOW 1 STEP CLOSER TO BACK ON THE ROAD

IN THIS EPISODE WE GO A BIT DEEPER INTO GETTING OUR ABANDONED VB HOLDEN COMMODORE CLASSIC BACK ON THE ROAD . LAST EPISODE WAS A BIT OF A WILL IT RUN TYPE OF THING WITH THE FACTORY V8 253ci COMING BACK TO LIFE SLOWLY BUT THIS TIME WE NEED BRAKES AND A REAL DRIVE.
IF YOU LOVE OLD CARS DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT OUR PREVIOUS EPISODES LIKE EP18
In this episode i come across an abandoned wrecking yard / junk yard and rescue a HQ wagon and a classic old Ek Holden but thats definitely not all we find. call it a shed / barn find or what ever you like but there is classic survivor cars everywhere, from a XB Ford falcon coupe , Monaro , Torana , a Mopar Charger ,a couple of chevy 56 / 57 , valiants , Commodore HSV clubsport even a few old jdm datsun and mitsubshi cars and much more ever a few old toyota 4x4 . So do take a look it doesn't matter if your into perfect body and paint work , patina , rust or whatever theres a bit of everything in this one for everyone. We will have a few of the cars we bought in future episodes shortly and hopefully you'll see them running and driving back on the highway after years of being parked and left to rot. cheers for watching Backshed .

I’ve had a couple of old holders that had the 253. They were always far superior the 6 cylinder engine of the day. They just seemed so much nicer than a 6. With those front cals , I would wind back the pistons a little. Then lube the sliders. Give it a try I’ll bet you love it.

Cheers people talk to ya’s soon in the comments🍺🍺🍺👍 oh yeah and what wheels do we put on it??

[@woopimagpie]

A set of factory alloys from the VB SL/E model? They're a bit skinny but you can't really go wrong with factory. Or period correct mags like a set of jellybeans or hotwires? That could work. A set of Imschers from the HDT car would look great too but I don't fancy your chances of finding a good set of those.

[@shaindaman13]

Whatever wheels you go with will be great. It will look straight Australian as it should.

Brings back some memories. In 1979 our neighbour across the road took delivery of a new VB SL with the 253 and 4 speed manual in bright red paint. Took me for a ride in it (I was 11), been a V8 Commodore devotee ever since (I own a 95 VS Executive 5.0 manual and a VFII SSV Redline manual). I think over-wheeling these cars looks ridiculous. I prefer BT1/FE2 spec suspension and ride high and 14/15 inch period wheels - SLE or SS spec (or HDT if you luck in with a set). Never been a fan of the Cragar (if that's what they are) style wheels you have on them. Also look good with Speedie 5 spoke chrome wheels or Simmons.

Funny how it only takes 1 little event in childhood to fall in love forever hahaha but it happens🍺🍺👍

I used to have one of these old girls back in the day in NZ, same colour too. It was fitted with the 1.9l 4 cyl engine - the motor was the biggest POS ever offered in a vehicle, the ONLY saving grace was when the fibre timing gears stripped one day, I happen to have an old 202 sitting in the garage and swapped the timing gears over and away she went again!! Lol Motor was still a POS though... the good old days!!

My VB 4.2 SL was the same blue, with silver below the bumper strips, as it also had a set of Dragway two piece five spoke with chrome rims, as they looked the part. Being an SL it had adjustable intermittent wiper control, tachometer, aircon, power steering, bumper strips on the bumpers (standard on the L). I added Wylie gas heavy duty shocks as a great improvement. Also 100w high-beam globes. The head lights glass is removable/replaceable from VB to VL. I had to replace the light control stalk as the high-beam to low-beam switch failed and I replaced it with a HZ one, while keeping the matching interior matching twist part on the stalk that can be separated.
