I know a Massive difference

Barnsey, the working class man.

Great video barnsey Through randomly finding ur channel on KZread one day you’ve actually inspired me to restore my dads 1982 Holden wb ute that’s been sitting in the shed since before I was born(21yrs ago). Thanks for the great work.

You will find that it wasn't actually lightning it was another KZreadr reviewing Auxbeam spotties. What I've got most out of the series is you can do anything if you have patience, take your time & do it one step at a time. I had zero confidence that I could sand a panel straight but you've given me the confidence to do it. I just skim & sand until it's perfect.

Enjoyed this episode Barnesy, gave a lot of good info on how i as someone who hates anything electrical that it is so easy it is to install anything on your car!! That is the best thing about your channel, you are not a panel beater or mechanic as far as i know, but you show that anyone and everyone can rebuild a car well!!

Another great video. The best part of all your vids is the down to earth DIY approach you take. I have a number of old cars and I think of your one step at a time attitude when I become overwhelmed at the large number of tasks I have in front of me. Keep up the great work 👍👍

Barnesy I like how you keep it real with your videos, not everyone are professionals and not everything goes to plan but you just keep on going. Its great for average joe out there with a project to do. Cheers keep it up.

Hey mate, looking forward to the rest if the build. I am currently doing my LX Torana my first car I have had since I was 16. These videos have helped clear up a lot of questions for a first time builder and steer me in the right direction.

Barnesy, the lights look actually decent. I have a fj40 that could use some lights so if your giving them away I’ll put my hand up.

I had those old lights when I was 18 on my79 shorty, I’m 50 now, can still remember dad calling them crayfish, cause they were all shell and no guts . Keep ‘em coming mate 👍

HNY Barnesy, best thing about your channel is that you show how a rebuild (seemingly an insurmountable task) can be achieved by a DIYer. Spotties would look awesome on the 356 :)

Mate, the timing of your build lined up exactly with my Tonner build. And gave me motivation. Look forward to the donk going in. Yew.😆

Hurry up and finish the WB so we can see you make a start on the HJ45 😍😍😍

I love your videos mate and look forward to seeing the WB Ute come together. Those spot lights look great, good honest review on them. 👍🏻

They look good enough to me 👍

Keen to see the Ute going back together mate. Just having somewhere to see real honest videos without the bs so thank you for that. Been a big help on my hz one tonner.

Thanks mate, yeah it's dragged out but now the gearbox is finished I can start prepping to get it back together again.

Great video Barneys. I have a fj45 ute also and in need of some spotties for the late night drives back. Would be awesome to be picked for the prize. Cheers

The thing I have got out of your videos is that sometimes I just have to get on with it to progress the build. It can't always be perfect and we can spend forever on each part 🤣

I've been enjoying watching you figure this stuff out as you go. No project for me atm but takes me back to when I built a '68 Monaro in my 20s, I didn't have the money then to do it to the level you're doing the ute now but I wish I still had it n could have a do-over!

68 Monaro, nice! Thanks for the feedback 👍

G'day mate, Hope you had a good Christmas and now onto 2023. I've watched you build your Ute from the start and you've kept it real and true from the beginning. All the issues that you have had you have found a way through and done a great job mate the Ute is going to look and run amazing. As for the spotties, my daughter has a 2018 tray back Triton and her spotties got smashed on her way down from Newman for Christmas. They look and perform well and would be a good gift for her. Keep up the good work Barnsey, I can't wait to see the Ute when it's finished. Cheers Happy New Year 🇭🇲

Yeah the doors were very hard. I reckon I would buy the full skins if I needed to do the fronts again but it was a good challenge to stitch weld across.

Good to see you are no longer under water mate been following from the start and watched you learn along the way as I have too with the build of the wb and motivates me to get back into mine

They look awesome man - I’ve got the model land cruiser after yours ( the new shape in 84 ha! ) which will be getting her rebuild in the shed after I finish me WB. For me the engine build on your journey is what I liked best - was awesome listening to guys who know their Holden V8 s and the Dyno process to bring about a reliable poky street engine

Thanks mate, al good, KBS is the only way to go for chassis paint and the rust last is absolutely the best product available for removing rust in large areas without sand blasting.

Happy new year Barnsey!

Nice new spotties on the HJ45 mate , next project after the Ute maybe ? As an owner of a Wb Ute myself I’ve learnt a lot about the process of a nut and bolt restoration. Having the same vehicle I know what to look for when I start restoring mine . Keep up the great content mate

Bloody nice lights my bro n law has sum awesome lights on his late model land cruiser as we found out last trip over to sunshine coast barnesy loving the build on the wb as being a Holden man here in nz and have had many over the years keep the vids coming enjoy them ,now I drive a Hilux lols piss poor lights ,all the best for the new year , cheers , shaneo , nelson, nz,, 👍🍺

I’ve followed the journey of the WB ute rebuild and it has been a loooong project. The hj45 cruiser is a great distraction but must be mind settling. Love the new spotties, why didn’t you hang ‘em upside down like the old ones? Anyways, you’re the organ grinder and we are the monkeys. Keep up the good work mate ✌️
