[The Bunky BT1] - Ep2. - We've SMOOTHED the engine bay on the VR Commodore - Prep for PAINT!
You've been asking for her for a LOOONG time guys. And it's finally time.
Although we were super bummed that the Red Centre Nationals trip had to be cancelled due to *You Know What*... We still had annual leave booked! So that freed up a few days for us to get into the shed, and get stuck into Kurt's VR BT1 Project!
So... Time to get stuck into smoothing the engine bay, which if you're familiar with the VN-VS Commodores, you'll know its no walk in the park. But, we're going to crack out the grinder, fire up the welder, and beg, borrow and steal the painting gear we need to have our first attempt at spraying on a car. This should be interesting!!

Been a while since we did a vlog, we know. But found a spare hour in the midst of adulting to get down to a car meet. Thanks to all you legends who rolled in, introduced yourselves, showed us your ride, and praised the channel. You guys are the bomb!
Great job to Shannons Southern Coffee Cruise for putting on a successful gig with an awesome turnout, and a great mix of cars. Here's a snippet of what we saw ??

G'day guys n gals!
Here's a question we see all too often on Facebook groups and Facebook Marketplace...
"Who makes Holden V8 turbo manifolds?"
Well, to be honest, the factory gave us a pretty good head start!
Kurt is going to give you all a rundown on how OEM Holden 304 cast exhaust manifolds, only a couple hundred dollars in schedule 40 steam pipe, and a Bunnings or harbour freight or mig welder will have you damn near close to a home brewed junkyard turbo system capable of running into the 8s in the right hands.

Under The Cover - A Torq Hub series covering viewers cars in detail.
Come and take a look under the cover of this very special classic. Luke's 1950 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special. With its all original Cadillac V8, 4speed automatic, and hydraulic powered windows and bench seat its a total throwback to days gone by. A little piece of historic Americana, living down under.
Big apologies for the video quality in a few sections, had a lens and software issue with one of my cameras which wasnt picked up until after filming. Wasnt going to make poor Luke sit through a whole second interview, so it is what it is... wont happen again, I promise!

Welcome back to the Fabrication Station! Shot this video solo while Jeff was away, so dont be too rough on a bloke, ok? haha! Been off the torch for a couple months so once again its time to prep some filler rods, sharpen the tungsten, and fire up the TIG!
Today i'm showing you guys my process on fabricating an oil catch can, in this case for our buddy Cam's 1000+ HP barra powered FPV F6 R-Spec. I'll also share a couple of cheeky top tips for those thinking they might like to try their hand at Aluminium TIG welding. Remember; you don't need to aim for flawless weld porn instagram dime stacks. So long as you get it penetrated and sealed, she's good to go!
