Another awesome vid 👍 . Nothing beats the old utes for a hobby car. I have a few old G60 Patrols I use and love working on them.

Yeah I learnt a lot during that, but they are so basic nothing takes long to figure out, cheers mate👍

We had a HJ47 at my mates farm....would never ever get used (as there was a massive collection of old farm utes and trucks to drive) but I'd always make a point of going to the back of the old unused shed it was tucked in, slapping a battery in it and laughing hilariously as it fired up like it had been driven just yesterday

They are pretty remarkable old vehicles, tuff as nails.

Great pick up! I used to drive one of these years ago when i was exploration drilling and i just remember on long drives the bloody floor would get SO HOT!!

I can imagine, no insulation at all, I will be definitely putting dynamat on when it gets restored

Good job & vid mate, nice find. I have a 79 model HJ in pretty good nick, save the usual amounts of rust throughout, it still has the original 3.5ltr deisel in it & it runs like a champion, nice & smooth. I would love to do a restoration on it, but not sure if my wallet is big enough. TFS. Cheers

Nice, yeah the beauty of the 40 series as they really aren't hard to take apart body wise, a gantry and some time and you can get the body off in a weekend and start cleaning the chassis up.

Cheers mate, it's a 79 apparently, that EDIC is a nice little piece of engineering. I would like to get it all working again so it does exactly that.

Nice weapon mate...

What a beast!

Gday barnsley loving the build mate! Just going back to the sand blaster you bought, the boys on cars n things bought a similar one and had similar problems might be helpful to see how they solved it

Ok great, I will have to check it out. I think the problem was water treatment which would clog the line, also filtering the sand as well. I think the open top blasters are much better but never got around to getting one.

For future you may consider converting the cooling fan to a electric fan mounted against the rad.

Yeah that was the other option I ran over and most likely the way for a RWC.

@@haroldwonder446 that's alright mate, I appreciate any feedback as it helps my knowledge! Jeep sounds very interesting with the Mercedes engine! Do you guys have the old 40 series land cruisers in Canada or do you have to import them?

❤ I like to own one of these vehicles . How can I own one?
