Thanks Chris. I was never that into HR's but after this one I'll be sad to see it go back to the owner.

Perfection how a HR Ute should be Built

My grandfather had the HR wagon in that same green colour NOW There's some memories 1967

Beautiful work. Next level metalworking. You’re truly a master of your trade.

a friend had HD ute with a stinking wild 179 hp block 3 2nch su`s and extractors yellow with some special alloy mags - wow what a goes it was i always remember that little red motor doing old valiants 318 and 308 holdens back in 1979 !

That's not a car. That's a work of art.

A number of years ago I was a sheet metal apprentice and as a class we took a tour of the Holden Factory in Woodville. I couldn't get over how at each process of building the car as to how rusty it became before painting. They just painted over the rust. Explains why my Dad's FB holden was so full of rust.

Yeah I have heard of stories where they would store the cars out in the weather in bare metal. Not sure how true it is but after working on these old Holdens I can believe it.

I learned to drive manual gears on an HR ute, will always have a soft spot for them. This one is going to be amazing. I owned an EH wagon for a couple of years in the late 70s, baby blue with white roof. It had a 161 from an HR in it and three on the tree. Only issues when I bought it for $450 were brakes and rusty floor. Brakes were easy to fix and a friend of mine's father who had a panel beater shop replaced the floors and coated them for $180. About three years later I sold it to a friend for $550 and it was stolen and not seen again. Wish I still had that car.

I love watching detailed builds like this. This Ute is going to be epic. I couldn't help but notice you were switching in between tig and mig? I am new to welding, so I was just wondering why? Also, why the silicon bronze over steel filler rod with the tig? Thanks for sharing your builds with us.

@ProShop1

Жыл бұрын

Sometimes I'll use mig to tack a panel together before tig welding it. It's a lot easier if I need to hold the panel in place and tack it with the mig. Some other joins I'll run a few stitch welds with the mig instead of tigging the whole panel. It really just depends on the panel. Also I prefer to use silicon bronze as it is a lot softer so less heat and less distortion. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.

Fantastic video!!! I've been looking for years trying to find an informative hr ute build like yours, great job. I started on my own hr ute build a few years ago and have stalled once I realized extent of floor rust (just like yours) This video has re-motivated me and answered alot of questions on how. Can I just ask what size and gauge the shs is that's used on chassis work? Thanks, Robert.

@ProShop1

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Robert. If you don’t care about it being totally original then cut it all out and start fresh. It’ll save a lot of time and money. After doing the HR and the EH I’ve learnt boxed chassis rails and a flat floor is the way to go. The rails are 3mm thick 65x65 RHS.

Shame GMH didnt use the same body lines as of the station wagon so it had HR tail lights instead of HD, however a HD valance at the front allows you to use HD parking and blinker lights, so you get rid of the lights in the grill. just my 2 bobs worth, HR was my favourite car, I owned a HR Premier back in the day, all the HK Monaro running gear from the factory. I think they made either 100 or 200.
