New Business direction

[@scipioafricanus4328]

Love your work in the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum Grant tank restoration! Top stuff!

[@andrewharrison8880]

Hi Graham, it's about you and your channel. The content could be about nearly anything. No loss of subscriber here😊.

[@Willo20]

Yepp... like the change ..keeps channel interesting ..Keep it going..🙂

[@hohocc1349]

Peter Anderson has the Starlet youtube video market cornered, you'll be the godfather of Swift content! Good work.

[@PeterAndersons]

No mate, that accolade goes to Camp Dogs, they're getting well over 400hp out of Starlies!

[@stanleybaker5860]

Another very interesting video. Thanks Graeme. Wish you the best with your new venture. There's an old saying "He who ventured not gained not." Would like to see an update on the tank sometime. Cheers Stan.

[@xacoupeguy]

as i said to another chap asking about tank stuff if all goes well later this year something very interesting will be happening tank related

[@davidlemottee2063]

Doesn't matter what you are repairing - I enjoy your content. Keep it coming............

[@phatridesgarage3760]

Sounds good to me ! Like some of the others have said , if a chap enjoys watching you , he will watch whatever your doing at any particular time 👍 wish you the best graham !

[@johnvender]

New business direction makes a lot of sense given your knowledge. As you said if you get cars at the right price you know how to pull them apart and what you can sell the parts for. The other great thing about it is fast turnaround on each car, much better than restorations and rust repairs.

[@JasonKelly-o8i]

Best of luck with the new business venture. Keep us up to date with the EJ progress. Love to see it finished. Cheers.

[@einfelder8262]

Much more interesting than welding up ancient rusty Fords. My daughter had a Swift S for a long time, the S model had the curtain airbags which the base ones didn't. When it came time to sell, it went for excellent price, but still a bargain for the new teenage owner. Factory struts were garbage but it was incredibly easy and cheap to put in a couple of aftermarket ones.

[@russelblackwell6041]

Congrats Graham look after your body mate too much work in welding repairs have you thought about working for a car insurance company part time as an insurance assessor with your knowledge???? Your still so young wonderful when you have your partners support good luck with it all.

[@joecullen6586]

Happy for the variety in content Graham. Good to see different car related videos.

[@adamhoffman3687]

It's not my thing Graham but I am finding it interesting. Just don't forget about the jeep and stuart😊. Good luck with the new endeavor.

[@xacoupeguy]

@adamhoffman3687 all going well there's gonna be a pretty insane twist in my military vehicles later this year, I generally don't wanna say anything 100% untill it's happened but something cool is in the works

[@adamhoffman3687]

@xacoupeguy heck ya. I'm bidding on 2 m38a1 jeeps at the moment. Never can have to many lol

[@danjaz2000]

The motor trade is a back breaker. After 40 its a hard road. If we only listened in school we could had a job that paid alot more. Weekends off imagine that. Best of luck with the new business. Parts department always make money.

[@guidoping8734]

Good work I'm back on board Swifts, salvage, recycle, buying and selling great move. Cheers

[@michaelnoyes4817]

Follow your heart and you'll do good at what ever do mate

Good luck with your new adventure. ❤️✌️😎👍 Cheers

oh no kermit is getting ripped apart, sometimes in life a change of direction is needed to keep the passion going. Gave your G and C salvage a like too.

[@dave21]

If you want a free good XE falcon cross flow with headers good radiator complete dual exhaust for XB falcon I have one. I will even deliver it free of charge. Just to help get the ball rolling. Good luck with your new venture.

How much you asking for the twin Xb exhaust and is it v8.

[@damienBeelzebub]

Hi Graham I had a 2010 Swift bloody great car was a go cart ...Now like you toying with my XBGT Hardtop,, and yes frustrating at times ,, that is when you down tools and WALK AWAY,,, LOL.

[@bigears4014]

I did rusty stuff but you get sick of it with age . And never got good money like some get now

[@MrButtonpresser]

Your content is always great, whatever the direction it takes. Hell, I had no interest in tanks before you started showing them. Now I love ‘em.

[@GeeenJ]

hope it works for you graham might want to check if you need a motor traders licence i know in some states you can only sell comercially with a licence

[@xacoupeguy]

@GeeenJ already looking into a dealers licence

[@dank5432]

Keep it up, enjoying the content

[@burlatsdemontaigne6147]

Good luck with the new venture. Like printing your own money, I reckon.😅

Any more Taylors on the horizon or diversifying further?

Yes they did you have to be a dealer now I think to be able to get rid of it the yards in the US can get a very big fine if they get coot with out the paperwork saying where they got it and who .

[@brendendyson8470]

Suzuki swifts are bulletproof little cars

[@IGDZILLA]

Does rust repair have a built in limit? I can't see old farts (like me) and getting older, lasting all that much longer with nostalgia for 60's and 70' cars. And my 90's Magna does not have any rust. Nostalgia ages too. I don't see cars from the last 40 years with rust. I'm sure there are some but are they worth restoration? I've seen Mr Spotty's Australian cousin make an appearance so I know you watch Vehcor. He seems to do something similar with GMC trucks amongst a few other things. He always mentions Scotts GM emporium as a supplier of parts. Good luck with the new venture. Maybe you'll establish a network and cars will start to find you. Particularly if you specialise in a select few cars.

[@Hazzy238]

I thought at first you decided to wreck the Swift you bought last week. I don't think you mentioned it's progress? Wrecking yard.. ...you are going to need space. Space is expensive and that expense chips away at the profit. You make some very good videos on Utube. It's partially the content and primarily the presenter that accounts for that. Work to your strengths and good luck with the new direction.

[@christopher88719]

Forgive me for the off-topic question, I have been away for a while do you still have the tank?

[@xacoupeguy]

@christopher88719 tank stuff is on hold untill I return from Cairns for ausarmourfest

[@StarlightWorkshop0z]

Like me, we arent in good shape. It hurts. When you see fit old blokes like Bruce in aus still rolling around under trucks etc it makes me think. Do what u have to do. If you find a miracle fitness cure plz share. Mr 55

[@clintonepps3666]

Better start buying wrecked commodores and falcons for the parts business

[@xacoupeguy]

@clintonepps3666 cost of cars at the start is critical to making money and holdens and falcons pull good money in auctions.

[@clintonepps3666]

@@xacoupeguy im seeing falcons and commos going for less than 3k in west aus licenced all be it they are 2005 or newer high km

[@deankdx]

what does it cost for "air con guy" to recover the gas? sounds like you should be able to tick a box with the auction site, please remove the gas for wrecking/dismantling/repair purposes..

[@kerrynball2734]

Ever thought of doing full Resto not just the rust and panel??

[@xacoupeguy]

not set up for it

[@kerrynball2734]

​@@xacoupeguy Perhaps not now, but you have the requisite knowledge & connections to pull together a team that could do it. Imagine someone sends you the car, and while you're doing the bodywork, you send off the mechanicals & upholstery to get sorted in parallel. You would have to have your act together on cashflow. It's a big challenge for sure, but one way to move to the next level.

[@Hazzy238]
