Daihatsu Fourtrak Restoration Pt9 - Custom Sills

[@hawkertyphoon4537]

tougher than tough! Yet looking stock, undetectable. AWESOMENESS!

[@Dzynerr]

You're basically resurrecting this Fourtrak better than it came from the factory. Huge props!

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Thank you! It has been a tough job so far and there’s still a long way to go but I’m confident that when it’s done it’ll be something quite special!

[@Dzynerr]

@@JohnnyGetsCash I've no doubts. Excited to see it finished hopefully soon.

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

@@Dzynerr I can’t wait to get it back on the road!

This series is helping me out a lot for the future because I have a fourtrak farm vehicle/play around thing and I'm in a rush to get all the sharp rust mended ready for MOT. Before we just covered the arches over with duck tape but because I got it off my dad to see what I can do with it after its been sitting for probably almost 10 years, I think the welding practice should help with any other cars I want to revive to sell in the future :) So far on mine rust wise, I've replaced the back door and front panels from some other scrap parts daihatsu's we have around the farm. Sure the front panels are red now and the parts weren't off the same model but if they fit they fit and they don't have any rust (or not as much as there was on it) so I'm happy. It's only a Toy project thing anyways, might even take it rallying 🤣

One of the best 4x4 s ever made .we had one brand-new and I wish we kept it.great work keeping it on the road.

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Thanks Robert! They are fantastic vehicles. I’ve sold so many of them over the years but they’ve become more and more scarce so I felt compelled to restore one properly to ensure that at least some survive!

[@Bodgencodge]

My stepdad was an absolute nut and specialist on these things, before he gave it up. He taught me the hacks for repairing the radius tube super easy, and I did my first ever headgasket on one

[@kenwarburton2578]

Brilliant job Johnny, and an improvement to the original. Great work as always.

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Thank you Ken 👍

[@Jamie-mu5lt]

Love the progress on the Fourtrak. Great to see a restoration of one of these fab underrated trucks as youtube is flooded with landrover videos. Really enjoy your progress and content. It'll be a real keeper once completed. Looking forward to seeing the next one👍👍

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Thanks Jamie. Filming of the next part is well underway so hoping to have that live over the next few weeks!

[@MD-gx9kj]

Absolutely stunning work, loving this rebuild!😀

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Thank you!

[@MD-gx9kj]

Had a narrow track 1989 model myself years ago, brings back a lot of memories 👍

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

@@MD-gx9kj they’re awesome vehicles!

[@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES]

Great video mate as always, we need more, keep them coming 🎉

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Thank you! Lots more to come on the Fourtrak!!

[@shaunjones7234]

Wow your doing a superb job, keep the great work up

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Thanks very much! The reason this project is taking so long is not just because the base vehicle was such a basket case to begin with, but because I’m aiming to upgrade and improve every element as I work on it. I’m my own worst enemy! Thanks for watching!

[@nahladel]

Really enjoying this series and the Chop to the Top, great stuff. I'm subscribed and looking forward to more!

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Thank you very much, I appreciate the support! Lots more to come on the fourtrak restoration and also Chop To The Top!

[@markcraigie270]

Fantastic job

[@OldDirtBikes]

👍such a good idea for the sills ,excellent work as always.

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Thank you! I think these should last a bit longer than the standard items!

[@carguy815]

amazing work as always I truly hope you take on some apprentices in the future and give us some productive mechanics in the future rather than all these fitters out there ow which frankly can barely change a tyre we need more people like yourself saving our cars from a scrapheap where others would exclaim that it's not plausible etc you're a master craftsmen appreciate the content really looking forward to seeing this completed one step at at time in perfectionist fashion cheers

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Thanks very much Michael, that means a lot! loads more to come on the Fourtrak!

[@damienogorman9110]

Really enjoy watching you, great work, great skill. Kind regards from Galway, Ireland. 😉👍🍻💚 💙💛

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Cheers Damien!

[@RCEnergy]

Just stumbled across your channel on KZbin, enjoying your videos buddy! Looking forward to seeing more soon 👊🏼

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Thanks Sam! Lots more interesting stuff coming soon so stay tuned!

[@spamsac]

Proper job. Good work fella.

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Cheers 👍

[@chrisjarvis9492]

FairPlay to you Johnny, your doing a cracking job 👌🏻

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Thanks very much! I reckon these will stand up to some abuse over the next few years!

[@MalteseMafia]

Great Video Johnny, great solution to the problem, great welding and fabrication skills. Love the Escort Cosworth, is it yours. One of my all time favourite cars, keep your Ferraris, Lamborghini's. 👍

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Thanks very much! Yes the Cossie is mine. Like you, it is and always has been my ultimate dream car. I don't use it as much as i should if i'm honest, i tend to hop in the scooby if i ever just fancy a quick blast!

[@PeteBeardsley]

I'm not sure whether you REALLY like welding or you are certifiably insane! The jury is out at the minute. 🤣 Either way that is a cracking job which will outlive the rest of the truck and probably you as well. Nice one. 👍

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Ha, i think it's almost certainly the latter...sometimes i'll be lying there underneath the Fourtrak with spits of molten weld burning through my clothes and i ask myself "what am i doing here?"....Then i remember i'm building the raddest Fourtrak ever!

[@frankk.5548]

impressive! Nice work!

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Thanks Frank 👍

[@HypnotizinDetailz]

Proper job Johnny - as always! 👌🏻😁👍🏻 I’m sure that your middle name is “Patient” and your picture can be also found by the description of patience in the encyclopaedias… 😉 Very excited about this project, can’t wait to see how it’s going to turn out at the end, it’s very nice to see your commitment towards this little Daihatsu! 🤩😎

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Thanks very much! I think to the rest of the world I must look like some kind of lunatic by putting so much time and effort into an old, rotten Daihatsu…I even have to ask myself what am I doing sometimes 😂

[@sarfarazahmed3113]

​@JohnnyGetsCash, long as you're enjoying what you're doing! I'm learning lots! The video of 8 cats 150 - 12500 was very interesting.

[@mikevankeulen4361]

i really like your idea with these sills. might do mine exactly the same... seems very strong. what kinda messurements does the pipe have?

[@BareBonesMotorcycles]

Whens the next episode coming out. Really enjoying this series.

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

I have done a fair bit more on the fourtrak now so the next episode won’t be too long however finding the time to edit it in between other work and projects is proving to be a bit difficult!

[@BareBonesMotorcycles]

@@JohnnyGetsCash totally get it. Looking forward to seeing it.

[@recreativesigns4571]

That’s made the “Weld” of difference. Proper off roading upgrade.

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Only the entirety of the rest of the truck to go 😂

[@DashDrones]

Please say there's more of this series!!!

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

There certainly is, however with lots of other projects on the go and the day to day business, it’s taking a bit longer than usual to film & edit. Please stay tuned!

Daihatsu fourtax was what I leaned to drive in and my first field car on the farm it was a red 93 seater model had a yellow stripe but the whole jeep was resprayed Massey red it was lovely but over 12 years on the farm it got rough the engine never stopped going what failed it in the end was the rear axle locking up every few hundred metres, it was parked 6 months later it started first turn unfortunately my uncle sent it away with scrap wish I took off the wheels cus they were very good and different any were rare enough I never saw another set on one I’m nearly 19 now I hope in a few years to find one for the road for myself as it was my grandfather who taught me to drive in it I would happily drive one now on the road but unfortunately insurance is stupid and when they see 2.8 insurance goes crazy even tho they arnt fast

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Fantastic trucks! That’s of course why I was so keen to save this one from its impending doom!

[@Meadie69]

It’ll outlive us all….

[@Logie75]

I envy your knowledge. I can do most things on a car but welding I have no knowledge at all. I have a mkiv supra and the sills are rotten 😭

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Nice! Welding is certainly a useful skill to have if you’re working on any aging Japanese vehicle I think!

[@Logie75]

@@JohnnyGetsCash, yeah agreed. I also have a 2015 series 5 L200 so I'd better take some rust prevention measures 😬👍

[@cyoung-jb7no]

No primer on the tube?!?!

[@deNenNproductions]

Can you do a 5 minute repair on wheels please? 😊

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Hi Nick, what sort of repair do you want to see specifically?

[@deNenNproductions]

@@JohnnyGetsCash I just bought an old fiat and I have 2 wheels with a little curb damage and one with rust spots. I love how you explained the Paint fixes in the other video’s and since seeing them tried it myself and I’m pretty proud of the result thanks to you!

[@deNenNproductions]

@@JohnnyGetsCash the curb damaged ones are alloys btw 😊

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

@@deNenNproductions I’m very pleased to hear that my videos are helping you! I will see what I can do about an alloy wheel repair video 👍

[@deNenNproductions]

@@JohnnyGetsCash thanks man!

[@HForceClan]

So basically, now it also has built-in rock-sliders. :P

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

I guess it does, yeh! Although I think once it’s painted my eyes might water if these sills slid over a rock 😂

Blimey, I hope not!
