[@TJANDMAC]

starting to look Spicey !

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate!

[@Bretts_channel]

That entire demineralized water scene was bloody hilarious, went back and watched it a few times.. Great ep as always guys! Thanks, Brett

[@TylerThompson90]

Haha cheers mate

[@andrewcoulter323]

always looks like a fun day with Burto in the shed...

[@DiHandley]

Burto is an absolute legend! What that man doesn’t know about rebuilds isn’t worth knowing!

[@dannyotter7247]

Everyone should have a Burto! :-) love this series dude, like how you’re showing it is a labour of love. And the banter makes it, your shows have really grown on me.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, appreciate it!

[@james14peterson]

Burto is good at what he does, I like his humour, alongside his brains

[@Lee-astrololee]

Q: Will those cable ties hold on the fuel line under pressure? Also love that Burto is wearing an Aussie Arvos T!!! Good to see the real channels supporting each other!

[@ianweal3081]

Coming along sweetly, Demi will be in her element.

[@FirstLightAdv]

Very impressed with the fresh ideas after all these years!!!

[@jameslyon4436]

Great vid as always. Love how you have other channels merch on during your vids- share the love! “Burto for prime minster”

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@slowlearner984]

The first thing Burto'll fix are those stupid emission laws.

[@jonsey300]

Bloody coming together there boys👌👌 petrol 80s transfer from sub to main tank that’s what the second return is for , diesel 80s feed direct from both tanks, love the content Tyler keep it up mate 👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, appreciate the tip on that one!

[@Wasabui]

Awesome lads. Watching from zimbabwe

[@TylerThompson90]

Awesome, thank you!

[@StephenCawrse]

Lads it looks friggin awesome well done and I thought no disco lights but you had to put them on cheers legends 😄

[@TylerThompson90]

Thank you so much 😁

[@frankspinella250]

Wow looking good guys!! I can’t wait to see it at the next Mall Crawler Expo!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate

[@howesyaadventures5542]

Loving this 80 more and more!! Also burto is a bloody character!!

[@darrenmackenzie1645]

You guys are killing it on this build!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks!

[@intimatespearfisher]

Nice work Burto! The white front and rear bars look mint boys. The brown piping is a nice touch to match the stripes.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@crowybruv1457]

The all white is too clean 👌🏼

[@dant565]

Looking good boys. Can't wait to hear it on the dyno.

[@TylerThompson90]

Me neither!

[@craigpeart7291]

Looks absolutely mint FairPlay lot of work realised Demi very lucky 👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate!

[@RedMW3]

thats looking mad bro cant wait to see this on the road in port Macquarie

[@interceptor7905]

The best rebuild ever!

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

It came together pretty good. Very nice

[@Crankycruiser]

Only diesel 80s could run off either tank. The 1fz 80 sub just pumps into the main.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers for the tip mate! That makes it easier for us, we will get that sorted

[@ramsrider14]

Can confirm my fz 80 had a 'sub' button, which filled the main tank up.

[@jessetink3753]

Good old Katie is coming along nicely now lads Looks amazing 👍🏽

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks 👍

[@MegaRetr]

Everyone should have a Burto!)))

[@onstreetgarage]

Looking good! Hope to see the 80 out on the tracks!

[@TylerThompson90]

Maybe some light touring tracks haha

[@KaineBassi]

Thank god you went white That looks epic! Mall crawler spec engaged!

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers!

[@steveryan7168]

Gotta say you scored a good 1 there with Berto.

[@Mouldyturnip75]

What an episode. Looking mint!!

[@yamumatittys]

The car is looking great guys

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers!

[@DougAskin]

Looks great, love the white bumpers

[@DaniPitchford]

Berto is King... What a Lad.. Yew..!

[@fatmanoverlanding]

It's looking sweeet!. ❤ Hitting the "Sub-Tank" button on the dash to transfer fuel from the sub-tank into the main tank, is the factory setup of my '96 80 Series petrol (1FZ-FE). Wasn't your 80 originally a petrol? If so, shouldn't it have worked that way from factory? Or where pre-'94 petrol models worked like the diesel models (where the engine can draw fuel directly from either tanks - controlled by a switch/button)?

[@Kobeeziedas]

Burto that power probe has an inbuilt earth cable hanging out the handle! You don’t need to make another small cable connected to a battery…

[@ianwatson3315]

epic build and epic channel..love it from UK

[@TylerThompson90]

Thank you!

[@robertnea1121]

Love the show keep up great work

[@FourLowAdventures]

Really impressive stuff

[@aTissa]

Mint! Mint! Mint!

[@marksmith3631]

Love the work guys, keep it up. Keep up the detail. Rate the workshop builds/bush recovery fixes. Bar work from ??? Just a shopping trolley???

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Bar work is from coastal off road

[@craigtomkinson2837]

nice work guys

[@Aidensmith1]

Heads up that radiator pipe is butchered (mig spot welded potential pin hole leaks all over it (may not see them now but as you have hot flowing fluid through it for a few hours that 1.6 SS will expand testing the spot welds. Also the stainless is completely cooked anything past salmon colour is screwed will rust out in no time, if your going to tour this car I’d be 100% finding someone to redo it that can actually tig weld and tig brush after to ensure you have no issues of dumping coolant out on the trails

[@TylerThompson90]

Those clips was it only tacked together while he was making it. It definitely doesn't look like that

[@bobwhatshisname2161]

I'd be interested in how you can weld ss tig and only discolour the ss to salmon ( red ) colour and get full penetration. Please let me know.

[@Aidensmith1]

​​​@@bobwhatshisname2161very very easily its called shielding gas. Correct flow, travel speed, cup choice, filler wire and angle of tungsten grind. These aspects all play a key role in obtaining a weld that isnt effected by oxides in the weld pool and or atmosphere internal and external depending on back purge (personly id run a purge as i wouldnt want anti freeze eating at the back of a sugared weld). As for penetration its 1.6mm material thickness. Most tig welder that know what they are talking about will tell you there is no trouble getting pen on that 😂

[@bobwhatshisname2161]

@@Aidensmith1 I have never seen a weld on stainless that has not blued from welding. It is a byproduct from the heat and that is why you use pickling paste to clean the welds. I have yet to see this done cause in my 30 years of welding I have not seen it done.

[@Aidensmith1]

Really? I dont think you have done much sanitary nor oil/ gas tig welding then? Pretty standard practice iv only been doing this 15 odd years. Correct filler size and feed rate, gas coverage (cup to match) and for this application itself id go for pulse that would keep a fair amount of heat out of the part. That put together with good back purge and good travel speed should have it a nice glossy gold at most. Google stainless colour chart, level 1/2/3 acceptable what your talking about is a straight up fail 😂... best of luck 👍 remember practice makes perfect

[@antonis2708]

Depends what year your 80 is and how the fuel system plumbing is done. The second “return” line is the feed from the second tank. The secondary tank pumps to main tank and then the main tank feeds the engine much like the patrol.

[@jamiesullivan8900]

Great work guys. Although obviously the white bar work doesn't match the colour of the 80 and looks hideous. What were you thinking? Anyway it will be good to see the old girl back on the tar mack!

[@TylerThompson90]

Nah it does match, the 80 is just dirty from sitting in the shed and the bar work is 2 day old fresh paint

[@thomasbloodsworth2129]

brother errrr, love it ahhaa

[@Accolades70]

Great Episode......

[@kyotoau9095]

Burto is f$&king hilarious😅

[@arjayclaveria2921]

Good work

[@bullzye101]

Good stuff lookin good guys ... big thumbs up ..👍😃👍 ... oh and them bloopers LMAO

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate 👍

[@neilheyward2599]

Looking sic boys 😉👍👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks!

[@steph9445]

Great episode!! Almost done 👍 Those bumpers are no good especially the front one. Looked so good before crash.

[@jamieparker7665]

Looking sweet as guys! Not 100% on where the sub goes in but the 80s pump the sub into the main tank so I think that’s what that other “return” was, pretty sure that’s why it’s higher. Never had one apart but yeah my old petrol 80 pumped sub into main tank

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, yep few said that! Looks like we got that one wrong but makes it easier for us now I reckon!

[@jamieparker7665]

@@TylerThompson90 yeah one of those things it’s all a learning curve 🤘🏼

[@mmorgz6622]

need some shirts that haved "looks just like factory" or "just like factory" written on them 😂

[@TylerThompson90]

Haha yep

[@mbt8545]

Nice job... The factory engine was 4.5 (1FZ-FE) right?

[@TylerThompson90]

Yep

[@johnlambert-be7hf]

Build looks awesome guys, Where did you get the bars from?

[@TylerThompson90]

Coastal off road

[@HammerRocks]

It's starting to look like a supermarket car park weapon. 😁 Loving the transformation. 👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@ashleywilliams212]

With the amount of time you spend in a workshop, its about time you got your hands dirty Tyler.

[@davebarns1]

Don’t forget to replace the 4500 twin cam decals with 4000 turbo 👍🏻

[@TylerThompson90]

Gunna need to order some

[@clov3zz860]

Is that a custom bullbar? Looks mint

[@TylerThompson90]

Its a DIY kit from coastal off road

[@Andy_Pandy5]

looks sweet as

[@anjumfaridkhan]

the front bull bar is looking the best. what bull bar is it and any link to be shared

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, the bulbar is from coastal off-road

[@Vanadinit3]

A couple of 16" Spal/Maradyne fans on a custom shroud would be alot better but with that being said the terry fan should be ok.

[@irandri1]

Great build mate! Coming together nicely! What is the song at the end of your video? Cheers

[@TylerThompson90]

Joke Book duet

[@MntlMajorkozmo]

Cant remember what headunit you installed, but I did see the android logo as the car powered up. Can you put the bushdoof lights app on it? The white barwork was the right choice. Not often i like body matched barwork, but it works here.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate! Not too sure to be honest, you might be able to. It's a Polaris head unit

[@scottkovarik6361]

Paint the rock sliders white too

[@hampaice2489]

Looks like she needs a 5 inch colour matched snorkel to go with the bar work

[@TheOldFellasTravels]

Albeit I gotta say you guys have done a stall next level job. I just can't help thinkin this is an expensive can of worms with too many mods to be an ethical remote off road vehicle. True I'm a Toyota man through and through, I would have enjoyed the same design and inspiration put into a new 1HZ FTE motor rebuild with a VDJ gearbox of the later model with the longer 5th gear. That would make for an unstoppable 80 series with parts readily available. But cracka job anyway.

[@noobishly66]

Was I the only one who saw them drilling into the "sealed" airbox to mount the bottle.....fuck I hope they sealed those holes properly hahaha.

[@Ztunr]

Them holes are not going to matter. They have bolts going through them.

[@TylerThompson90]

If you're sitting in water that deep for that long to have them holes leak enough water past the riv nuts and bolts into the airbox and into the engine I'd say you would have already had bigger problems haha

[@haydenthompson6560]

If you's had the opportunity to do it all over again. Would you do it and how much would i have to pay you to barra swap my 80

[@hami9482]

Hey mate, how come you could get the psico airbox in the factory location? Alternator and I.c piping in thr way?

[@TylerThompson90]

Yep in the way

[@PokeGaz]

Great episode! But theres no minerals in rain water lol Minerals dont evaporate ;)

[@clarkbarryj]

Good

[@__beer__]

Got a link for the rear bar, mate?

[@TylerThompson90]

Rear bar is from 'Coastal off-road'

[@vk3act]

Having the transcooler fan underneath like that? What about mud?

[@TylerThompson90]

Yeah wouldn't be ideal if it was a mud bogger but this car won't see much mud/offroad haha only light touring

[@Swangin479]

What’s the wheel and tyre specs on this mate? Look like they fit nicely 👌🏽

[@TylerThompson90]

35x12.5R17 on -38 offset Dirty life wheels

[@allanpower8041]

I don't think that bullbar offers enough frontal protection for when Danni next drives the 80.

[@TylerThompson90]

Need a full roll cage

[@jamestanner9198]

Number plate covered. How you fixing that ??

[@TylerThompson90]

Will go on the spare tyre prob

[@rowanchristieson9047]

Must be the GU next for a new engine

[@darcykeddell4930]

No need for a new engine when you have a tb48, gods motor

[@PKA_NINJA]

My 80 series 1fzfe the sub tank pumps into the main tank but can only pump a quarter of tank in at a time and that’s a factory sub tank, ur ones strange as

[@davebarns1]

Who hooked Tyler?

[@keeblema]

Burto for Prime Minister.

[@MicahBell_1860]

Righto. What did you bash your head against?

[@TylerThompson90]

Fell over with the camera and hit my head on it haha is in a future episode

[@MicahBell_1860]

Giggles @TylerThompson90 Now that sounds like an action filled episode

[@MegaKeithygeorge]

Maybe U should've just jacked up the territory!? 🤔

[@maverick2242]

Sick episode, great work boys as usual.. But diff breathers, really...! do the Mall car parks gutters! get flooded that deep in Australia?🤣 I jest Demi, don't kill me pse! Once Burto hands it back to Demi, ya can send Burto to NZ and work on a real "80", 1HD-T"..! Turbo Diesel.. 5spd MT / 12v a mans engine!" mechanical baby! no Electronic shit, no doof doof lights and whips! or 24valve BS, or 1000Hp paper weights! She might not look like a garage queen but has it where it counts and bush rubbing is 4wding! Just needs good servicing, no repairs cause its TD 12v baby! Though some more Superior bolt on's wouldn't hurt either, I got some shocks to install, maybe springs? Emissions, common rail issues, PCVs and EGRs 🤣Save the planet in one hand destroy it with 2 others! fn politicians! Idiots. I do love the RaceWerks stuff though, good work lads! I'm not sure though who wins the most expensive paper weight 80 in Australia, you guys or Sam Young, seeing Demi hard wheel harder than Tyler all these years and Sam Young! I'm thinking SamYoung edges it! and Demi will get hers proper dirty, no beach hops! I hope this time it actually makes it off the Black Top to the dirt! Maybe get her a cheap Edge or Yaris for a daily city driver! 😝 As much as I love big rigs, they shouldn't be daily's in the city, its not safe out there! More cowboys and cowgirls and weetbix license drivers in the city these days than on the Ranch or Farm Stations, I fear for the FB 80! ps FB = (Franken Barra) BTW as promised free beer! of his choice, in NZ! No fake import crap! and best Burgers day and night, I do them multiple ways so feels like a different meal every day, maybe even take him 4wheeling Kiwi style, plenty of GQs here to, but once he's been in a real 80 he might be converted, I'll get the stretcher and pull out my 20year old sleeping bag, might even wash it for him, have a heater in the garage and tools and 10mm for days, should be right at home 😛

Had the engineer come to do an initial inspection with it the other day and he is all happy with it so far. Will need swerve and brake test etc once its on the road
