Hey, the long ones work for Derek at Vice Grip Garage and he is approaching 2 million subscribers. I would love to see your channel grow to that level and beyond. There must be plenty of classic Aussie cars waiting to be saved by someone like yourself. If you had a channel of that size it would enable you to take on projects that were previously too expensive and probably seemed to be an impossible project. Come on guys and girls, lets get Mick to that first milestone of 100k so we can have a huge Aussie channel saving all those beautiful classic Aussie cars.

Awesome video Mick, I sat through the whole 2 and a half hours. I love one tonners! And I recently just got out of the concrete industry, doing house slabs. Few of the old boys would talk about how these machines would haul crush rock, bags of rapid set, small sheets of steel reinforcement and tools on the back of em' in the 70's and 80's. Thommo was definitely a real work horse and he shows his character. Would be good to see a few more videos on him. I wish I could own a tonner like that, except I'd have a tough little 253 in her!

There's a one-tonner HQ near me in Toowoomba parked under a tree. Been there for over 10 years with a spare cab on the tray. Thought they were going to do something with it 2 years ago when they cut back the trees, nope, still sitting there. Also have a VR\VS era Statesman parked in the drive that hasn't moved in over 7 years. Thought it might be just some old farmer but they have a fairly new car. Guess the ute came off the farm and was a retirement project, and the Statesman just got old and parked.

Great work Mick ..Good to see another H series rescued ..being a 1979 build with RTS its a proper flash HZ with a HQ style front , though might be worth checking the chassis goozeneck behind front wheel as they were prone to cracking especially with this one's hard life but it is repairable Looking forward to see your plans unfold on this one...again great work love your channel Cheer Trev

[@backshed5295]

Shes got the Rts chassis brace rods being a Hz mate so no cracks for Tommo hahhha 🍺🍺🍺🍺👍cheers for watching 🍺👍

Great stuff Mick, A grade content, loved every minute. "Thomo" is coming along great 👍. They're a great model the old HZ, I had a 253 V8 '77 wagon, (the first year of HZ), with the " Radial Tuned Suspension", it'd go past everything except a petrol station. Top marks, can't wait for the next instalment, cheers mate!

Hey Mick, when you have finished with this one you will have to give it to me. After all it has my name on the doors and yes I have been known as "Tommo" all my life (63yo now). On a side note- I live in the central west NSW and I have seen this tonner in Gulgong and at times in Mudgee in the past while travelling about working, I even have a photo of it somewhere taken probably in the mid "90's when I first saw it, had to- my name and all. Had a look for it but can't find it as yet, I'll let you know if I find it but not holding my breath.
