My name is Dominic and I am 14. I watch hack shop on rainy days with my dad. I have a 1981 Datsun 1200 Ute. We are going to start restoring it ready for my learners. Some new tools will be handy

My name is Zachary, I'm 14 and I'm helping my dad rebuilding our 1971 Ford ZD Fairlane in our shed. I'd like to be considered for your give away.

My name is Will. I’m 14 years old. I work on ride on mowers and dirtbikes and anything I can tinker on in my spare time. My dream is to be a mechanic this would help a lot

[@meltysadventures4909]

Can’t wait to see the ep of the Quee at the 1000 . Love the smiles and giggles after the test run at Mexico 🇲🇽 to remove the tyre stickers 😂 . And what a legend for passing forward the tool’s to a young bloke that’s mad enjoy to the young winner in 5-10yrs he will be able to sing Nathan’s song of debt 😂

Breaker bar ? You mean a tension wrench? A breaker bar can over tension wheel nuts very easy

My 7 year old son would be over the moon if he won something like that he is alway’s out with me working on my car’s and uses my Stanley kit the same one you got there.. we are currently working on restoring a vh and is loveing every second of it.. guy’s absolutely love the content keep up the amazing work..

[@philj8910]

Yet again another "informative " (fun) show boys, I look forward to each week. My 19 yo son has finally been bitten by the car bug and while his taste us different to mine and very much JDM which works well with his 2002 Subaru Impreza. Maybe if he had some of his own tools he may stop "borrowing " mine !!

[@trevorcronin9249]

So what was the actual issue with fitting the diff center? Smaller shims required? Did you measure the old one?

[@HackshopGarage]

Yeah the bearings were slightly wider so we needed smaller shims

[@alistairdick5040]

Any chance you no wat size shims thy used

[@gregmottram292]

My 17 year old apprentice mechanic son is always work ing on his old IS200 and could certainly use a portable kit to take with on the road for those unexpected failures (= equals less ‘hey dad…’ alls in the middle of the night!)

[@Low760]

It's an is200, it wont break down.

[@roymorris2298]

My 13 year old is starting out he’s been helping me with my HJ tonna and we’ve recently bought him a ve sedan which needs a new gear box. He’s wanting to get it going by the time he gets his license. The whole family love watching and learning keep it going 👍

[@stavjetauto]

Fellas my little 3 year old needs an upgrade and his first non plastic tool kit to help his old man work on his TD Cortina. He already loves getting hands on, dirty and trying to help locate the 10mm and 13mm socket. If selected I'll be able to borrow his in the interim 😂 I'll even get some footage of him spinning spanners in a future upload on my channel with a shout out!

[@jnm5623]

I’m 21 and I’ve got a vt I’m converting to ls1 I had a banga tool kit a few years ago but some cheeky fella racked it from me and since then I’ve never bought another I’d use the tool kit to continue working on my vt project I also have a wb Ute that’s been in my family for 40 years and that’s next on the list to do up Love the videos guys

[@hagget3735]

Hey fellas loved the video. My youngest boy Koby turns 17 on March 29 and is getting his 1998 XH longreach ready for the big day! FYI I still have my Kinchrome socket set my brother bought me for my 21st (34 years ago). Good luck at the Hardarse 1000. Cheers Mark

[@GlennLittleford]

I run a mild 350 in a HQ. Long time ago I swapped the open Salisbury for a Ford 9 inch LSD. A year later I swapped back. The 9 inches take a lot more power to turn. I've been looking at these truetracks, might do the swap, thanks for the video.

[@ardennielsen3761]

the hypoid lockers are really nice, tho i find they have to be spun quick to throw the oil off the worm so they lock up and that take a bit of power... umpalumpa LSD, grip grip grip till they get stuck and realize one tire burnt off all the friction disks that only held 250lbft. ... hypoid worm with a centrifugal lock?

[@TomPatterson-w3m]

g'day my name is tom i'm 18, i have an fg ute, its not that old but shit keeps breaking and i think i'm pretty under equipped to fix the pile rubbish. this mad tool kit would definitely help make my car drive as good as it looks. p.s met you guys at summernats and it was super cool, great blokes.

[@oldaussiev8bloke]

Hey guys, another great episode. I have a 17 year old daughter who is very handy on the spanners. She’s recently acquired a 60 series Sahara that needs a motor and some rust repairs. I’d love to get her her own set of spanners for her to work on her 60

[@aaronhogan2371]

12HT motor? Also I'm pretty sure Camo's dad is a 60 series guru.

[@oldaussiev8bloke]

@@aaronhogan2371 na it got the 2F or 3F petrol motor. I have a 4JJ motor that needs a rebuild in the shed so I’m tossing up whether to use that motor or get the BMW 3.0L turbo diesel motor

[@aaronhogan2371]

@@oldaussiev8bloke 4JJ1 is an excellent choice but so is the BMW. Friend of a friend is doing the bimmer swap currently. The Cummins R2.8 is also worth a look. Anything is better than the 2F/3F. I have a few 80 series my main one being a 1hdt. The one I'm daily driving is a 3fe. Its a dog. No power, hard to gets parts for it, impossible to tune it, difficult to work on. I've done everything possible to keep it well maintained too. Its just a shit motor and hence i'm looking at diesel swaps too.

[@gogemi]

I'm building a TE Gemini with a SR20 conversion with my 5 year old boy and would love to be considered for this, he is always asking to have his own tools and this would make his year to be able to have his own little tool kit

[@barra245t2]

I use a short length of 10mm chain to remove axels,works better than the reverse drum setup..start off with slack then just yank it.works a treat

[@ekt1993]

I love watching your content always have a giggle and learn some. My name is Ellie and I own a d40 navara and have a Suzuki mightyboy as a project car. The tool kit would be super handy. Been so hard to try to replace my tools since my old ute was stolen last year

[@BeauStuchbery]

Ya know when it’s good when cars bring smiles and giggles!! My son has been working on a ford escort panel van

[@cruisecraft43]

My son 8s almost 17, he has a 1989 GQ patrol that we drive around and he is 100% keen for any upgrades or servicing to be done, he would love the kit to start his own collection of tools 😊

[@floncaric]

Me and dad are working on his passed away brother's Ford eb sxr6 And we would love this tool kit as it would be super useful to get all the little bits and pieces happening. Rather than our og 80's sidchrome random kit Please :)

Left hand threaded bolts normally have a grove around the spanner face so you can tell they are LHT at a glance.

[@pacattack90]

Great Episode Im on the tail end of my resto of my HZ 1 Tonner that i bought when i was 20 years old. Funny thing is that I'm still using my Stanely tools :) A little toolkit like that would be awesome to keep in the ute since i have touched every single bolt and nut on the ute and that kind of scares me :)

[@marcgrogan572]

Gents, love the channel, great to see a couple of mates having fun together playing with cars. Where did you get the trays hanging from your hoist arms, saw them today and got excited! Cheers Marc

[@HackshopGarage]

Thanks mate, we got them from total tools

[@GarageItYourself]

Nice one lads!!! Shame it didn't fit straight up but then that's what the shims are there for and just 0.3mm will make it a much tighter fit. If it's too tight a fit then it'll prematurely wear the bearings due to too much preload on the bearing from the shims. Plus now the backlash will be set properly.

[@andrewallen8020]

My litter brother and I are cleaning up and fixing his 1959 Austin lancer with a 253 and trimatic and would definitely make it a lot easier with some good reliable tools

[@honestpat7789]

I got a good tip from a diff specialist for when axles are stuck like this. Heat around the housing where the bearings seat with a butane flame 🔥

My names Logan I’m a 2nd year apprentice mechanic, I’ve got a au falcon burnout car, a vg ute project car for a weekender, and a vs statesman that’s manual as a daily, I would like the toolbox as I hate borrowing my tools from work and losing them all the time, it gets quite frustrating 😅 but I’d defiantly put the tools to good use as I love some Aussie made tools, I’m also in debt with the snap on truck so anything that isn’t snap on now would be great!

[@Low760]

I tell my apprentices, if you can afford multiple cars, you need to prioritise tools ahead of them.

My son tyler is in need of some tools. He is a 17 year old apprentice, and his car motor blew up the other week. He is now trying to rebuild it, whilst borrowing my car to get to work and back each day. So so decent tools would help him move along with the rebuild I think 😊

[@borismcfinnigan3430]

He sounds like a moron.

The obvious question is why wouldn't it go in? Also looking at the centre you pulled out it WAS apparent it was an open centre with no clutch packs, but lifes for learning. Right

Great episode team! My son is 22 and has an EB Fairmont project with a Barra Turbo and a 6-speed manual. In his spare time he pits for a mate at speedway and works on all manner of cars for other mates. That kit would be put to great use. Keep up the good work!

Well I don't need the tools but one of my highschool buddies Thomas sure do, he purchased a VY SS ute not running for $900 because the owner said the motor was seized but somehow he figured out the problem within days and got it running, poorly, but running on all eight cylinders. He just built his VX S Pac commodore up from scratch and then his dirt bike and all his dads tools were stolen so he now has no tools apart from a small 8-15mm spanner set. I would love this kit myself but personally I don't want anymorw tools as I've got enough. Just thought of a good mate of mine. Take care and love these videos they're crazy inspiring😊
