THE MUSTANG IS BACK!!!... with damage

[@dalesmit7869]

That wing is there for you and your mates to stack beers and paper plates so you can dish up when you have a bbq.

[@scottwatson8648]

Agree on the Subaru comments. They used to make the most cutting edge drivers focused cars. Now they make 4 wheel scooters. CVT? Really who wants that? Three pedals please!

I'm not a car guy so can relate to and am loving Giann's questions.

@@Chilled_Mackers you’re not wrong :D

[@VaughanMunro-js4nr]

Great Episode. Pity about the damage in transit. Some of the Customs guys get carried away with the inspections. Putting cameras in engines that don't start to check them for packaging. Moving cars with forklifts is also common. Love to see it running again.

[@alexanderjones6383]

@12:37 I recently saw a Brat/Brumby here stateside at the yard and I had to grab those iconic seats. There is no saving vehicles from this yard and they just get crushed. I did actually sell them to a dad who bought another BRAT from a friend as a restoration project he was doing with his son and it was nice to have them go to a good home.

[@badenwatson3653]

Hey Ben, I just wanted to say your videos are getting better and better. Loving it. Keep it up.

[@Doc_in_the_carpet_truck]

Frothin and Munted !!!! People who speak the language 👍

[@davidt3196]

14:57 I think the BRZ isn't as good as it could've been is more to do with Toyota, I remember as part of the initial joint deal Subaru could only make 1 or 10 to every 100 86"s or something like that which is why you always saw way more 86's compared to BRZ's on the road. But you're totally right, they both dropped the ball not having a turbo model.

[@adman6380]

If shipping the cars somewhere again maybe consider bolting a thick plywood skid plate under the whole car to prevent more unwanted ray charles the forky damage

[@Levent_Ergun]

I believe most (if not all) of the inspection occurs at the receiving port.

[@allandriver2066]

It would have been X-Rayed coming through the ports. If they flagged something they would have looked deeper- but you would be informed. Evidence of Forklift would indicate US Customs.....They don't give a f$%k (don't care) about anyone except their KPI's

[@v1jilante]

First time I put a Rico syntec filter on I was surprised that the box said “not for Motorsport use” given the Supercars development thingy, that was years ago though, they now recommend 2000km intervals, so not at issue for most people motorsporting!

[@LoudGuitar14]

It actually seems like a good idea to keep the damaged undertray just for international shipping. It would be annoying to install/remove just for shipping protection but with how rough and careless the treatment of this car has been I would worry that without the undertray next time the fork will go through something critical like the oil pan or a brake/fuel/oil line.

[@firefighter_dj]

Go the insurance route mate. That will force an investigation into why the damage happened. You're the 4th one ive seen on youtube having problems with customs damaging things unnecessarily. Mark at The Iron Empire had the interior of his Dart torn apart by customs when he imported it from the states

[@tyronestock379]

Good job Benny Fixing it up Well Done 👏👏👏👏

[@malcolmmackenzie9202]

Looks like the front right is sitting lower than the front left. I assume that is for a better launch and to somewhat counteract the torque of the engine

[@DukeOfTwist]

really awesome episode great to see the fox body back from the states.

[@dolphinowl245]

Absolutely correct on Subaru, the new WRX is quite sad.

[@i976scirocco3]

Great long episode !

[@anomamos9095]

Make a shipping cradle. Two bits of 6 x 3 tube the length of the vehicle width welded to six more bits that form a large # that fits between the wheels at fork distance . have some bars that catch and cradle the tyres when lifted . If you get the spacing right you can bolt it to the underside of the vehicle and still move it , you could even add positions for wheels and a tow hitch to turn it into a trailer.

[@BennysCustomWorks]

@@anomamos9095 problem is transporting/ storing it within the US as we don’t ship from the same ports typically

[@anomamos9095]

@@BennysCustomWorks add some uprights a top and a bottom panel stack the side front and rear panels on the top when used as a cradle then bolt them all on to use as an enclosed trailer when on the road.

The wing works cleans up.the rear air fllow and creates a little downforce

[@wobblysauce]

About stability also.

[@ChristopherHallett]

Not so much create downforce as reduce the amount of uplift created by the turbulent air at the back of the car.

[@funcraig]

I realise that storage will be an issue and it will be logistically harder but have you looked into buying your own sea container that the cars can live in when out of country that way the port guys don’t empty the containers you have to take the whole container from the ports

[@wobblysauce]

If you have space it works, just a bit more fiddly to move around.

[@pinsandscrews6459]

the BRZ being NA has to do with the agreement with Toyota and their GT86 version since both cars are a "Collaboration"

[@AKADriver]

Exactly. Tetsuya Tada at Toyota wanted a neo-AE86. His main priority was keeping the cost down. If they had aimed at bigger power it wouldn't have gotten made at all.

Almost every manufacturer has lost their way. Honda USED to be sick, the newer model Civics are quick, sure - but boring. The new NSX was dead on arrival - nobody wanted a hybrid NSX, not a single person on Earth. Kerb weight of 1800 kilos killed it instantly. In 6 years of production they sold fewer than 3,000.

[@cbr954glen]

I totally agree with you bennie. Subaru build boring old people cars now.

[@familytruckster2009]

Subaru made the Baja, which was somewhat the next gen Brumby/Brat. Not sure if that was sold anywhere but the states.

BRZ/86 needs a rear transaxle and a NA Flat 8 or twin turbo flat 6.

[@ChristopherHallett]

Nah, needs a Hayabusa V8.

[@tturi2]

86 needs the 3 cylinder from the gr corolla mounted to the stock 86 gearbox

[@awfull_art_on]

I went to the 2011 Motor Show at Tokyo Big Sight and the BRZ & 86 were released there. I owned a Hawk Eye WRX Tuned by STI and asked why there was no turbo and the answer was the car was built as a joint partnership with Toyota and was sold in that format as a car for the enthusiastic to modify to suit there needs. The truth "I was told unoficaly" is if it was sold with all the goodies on them it would encroached on the WRX and Celica - Supra markets and thew didn't want that.

Customs holding companies here in Australia are the worst. Well the ones I've dealt with in Melbourne have been. No one gives a rats. I have seen exotic cars with fork lift damage on them that could have been avoided with just a little care from the workers. And to make a claim is just not worth the head ache. IF they accept a claim it will take many months before anything is done. They simply don't care, especially the bigger places.
