I said everyone is busy saying I've got the car off for service. Alright and it's ready to go and then I send them on my turn. The front end. Tomorrow night is graduation.
You want to strike it up because you're not on the front end. It's graduation day. Evo. It's not a row yap, later.
It's not an Evo. It's an Evo, Shai. It's not an Evo. Just a two-way.
Just a two-way. It's not an Evo. It's not an Evo. It's not an Evo.
It's a row yap. It's not a Evo. It's a row yap. Not a two-way.
But a good workout. It's not a four-way. You'll know a quarter pass. It's a four-way.
He'll send a message out but we'll leave the listeners guessing as to whether a VK or rally are as you probably tell by this day. It's record. Good morning. Good afternoon and good evening.
You're on the old tour car podcast. Full house tonight. It's all Mustangs and restorations and fella was joining us as you probably heard. The VK is getting ready.
It's ready. It's ready. You're setting off the photos. Have you done a run yet?
Pack the front. Back of the factory unit. I need you. 12.5.
What's the letter? It doesn't matter what the letter deals. The letter will lose tomorrow night. The letter will lose.
Yeah. Plus I've got a number of days. I've got four hundred kilos on the way. Now I've got three kilos on the way.
It's not a power. I've got three kilos on the driver. We'll find out. I do that for another episode.
Sorry for everyone. There's no two kilos. Yeah. Oh yeah.
Likely. I've got a few guests tonight. First is Jon repo. You've got a talk.
There's no video here. We're not on YouTube. We're getting there. You've probably recognised Tom's voice earlier.
I've got a few people's on. And also another guest. Daniel and us. Are we...
�jury us. I said they are right. He doesn't want to know about it? With this.
No one has you hit? Stage Mom. What do I guess have in common hell? It's not true.
They've always stored Mustangs. They've always stored Mustangs. I've heard that Mustangs get restored because that's all the blood they can't get off in the pedestrians. What?
What are you talking about? You're saying giant pedestrians and Mustangs? No. They're always running over crowds?
No. No. No. Really?
That's something I didn't wear. You guys have to later all that huge. Not the 60s ones that are outside. Not a job, but when he's classic Mustangs, we've got to put the photos on Instagram.
Yeah. But stuff from the beginning. What, you're model? 66.
66. Okay. Level, GT, CCO. Level.
Color. It took away as we were equirated. Is that the factory color? The interior changed to the tiny interior because I was standing on the middle of the boring.
Yeah. Yeah. So the tiny, um, aquarum white looks great. So they've got the, the ponies in the, the ponies in the, the pony.
The pony's in the pony's in the pony's. The pony's in the pony's in the pony's. Yeah. Yeah.
And it's right hand-right. So, so where did we, where did we buy from? It was apparently, apparently, because you never really fully know it because the car just turned up in Australia. So it was part of the collection.
Some guy had been collecting for 30, 40 years or sitting in a barn somewhere in the, in, in America. Yeah. It was all rusted out. The, you know, the, what do you put your feet in the bank?
Four pans. Four pans. Four pans were rusted out. They were there, they were there, they were there.
They were there for this. Or something living in there. Okay. All the seats were chewed out.
Was it a factory color? It was, yeah. But it was that original. And this guy in, um, welcome Hills area, he was bringing the menu.
He was just finding slightly rare ones to bring in. So it was a CCO, GT. And went to his house, another major resource, I mentioned, because I had a bad experience with him. Um, he recommended this guy, I went there and he had a bit of a bad performance, he was mostly class-backs.
Well, I want to convert it to someone to go for drive to the family. And win for you. Yeah. So what did he bring him in from, from America?
Yeah, he was, they were bringing parts and then they bring in a car or a car or a car. And they do one up themselves and sell it. So I think I was just trying to get a bigger, bigger, bigger, so they were starting out. Yeah.
And going to the producer of the car, they called it the old car. Because they said, if you get a mini car, obviously Ellen, you're the first one. You should bought a mini car, you'd always want the old. Right.
So this was, they said it was the old car. So slightly rare, right, straighten it really. Yeah. So it's a, it's a, it was a factory GT.
It was a factory GT. And then it was obviously needed a total body off restoration because it was all chewed down inside from, sort of. So you see what from Morgan Mill was pretty much. It started, started, started in a canhouse for a couple of years and it would start but had no breaks.
So they'd get only a sort of, it was like a pretty stable and just move. Yeah. I know who did the, who did most of the work on it. Yeah.
So originally this guy in Sydney based, who was a good mate of mine. So originally we were going to do everything that I can. I bought a packs and supercharger, original style supercharger. We were going to put coil over suspension and disc brakes and load it right down and all this stuff to it.
And then I sort of fell out with him over at, over at my Corvette and it's a different story. Yeah. Foult around, found a guy in Victoria but he wanted to wait too much money. I couldn't sort of find anyone in Sydney that anyone would recommend.
And then I found a guy in Melbourne who stores a lot of Shands cars. He builds a lot of those Eleanor cars and souls and went down to visit him because he was going down to Melbourne a lot for work. So I bought them and saw him, looked at his place and he can say about 10 mustings in there. And all different soldiers like car finished.
Yeah, because partly it depends on people's budget and if you have got the money you keep it going. And other times, I guess they take one lot of it too much work and they have to sort of take time. Yeah. So don't worry about watching American shows where they've got for an M30 staff and they're just here and get done.
How old is the restoration? How old is the restoration? How old? Two years.
How old are you? I've been at the car for about a half. Since I've been at the car for about a half. It looks real good.
It looks real good. It's a clicker. So about three years we've been restored. If I send down this guy in Melbourne he's talking about nine months.
He told me he'd probably take about 10 or 11 so he goes right on. And we got delayed by a few parts not turning up. It was supposed to turn up on time. But even then I got signed up.
Like I said, he really blew it. Obviously this was not heard. But he did a great job of the body, the interior and everything but the car wasn't quite running right. So I took it to the car to do my Corvette because they really quickly performed it.
And now it's running really well. And some of the things I said was sometimes when these guys restore them a lot of the parts are good. But a couple of the trigger Asian parts don't quite cut it. For the engine.
Yeah, all the run gear of the engines and things like that. That's a clean car. So literally Asian parts don't quite cut it. The brakes weren't quite good enough because I said the drums went round quite round.
So they actually bought new drums and better quality ones. So we got the body restore, the running gear as well. The motor, the engine out the summer. You can plug in.
Yeah, it was some metrics in Melbourne. In Melbourne, Toriel. There's a plug. Great job.
Great job of the body. He sends the engine off to someone else. He sends the trainee off to someone else. So he gets the right people do the right job.
Yeah. And he's real fanatic. He's got the look. He looks like all the style.
What's going on down there? If you can tap somebody drives and he plays it all this music. Yeah. It's going to go down there.
If you can see what sort of jobs they do. No, it's a clean car. You've got to go. You've got to go yourself.
You've got to go yourself. When you're doing a restoration, whatever you do, you have to research what you're going to get done for your money, you have to see something you've done before, you've got to know what you're getting. Because if you're walking their blind, half the people in this industry are going to take your money and you're going to get probably, and you've got a good job. That looks good.
I came from the custom bike world where guys would pay a lot of money, and some of these guys are going to be broken. They've got 50 greener m4s in the bike top down. They'll be trying to get their bikes out and half the parts have been missing. Yeah.
Sorry, I came from that world. You've got to do your research right. You know actually made them a list of the parts you were going to do and right my name that turned up to get someone else. You've got to be careful.
And you can sort of like see when they're paddling in water and they're asking, can I get another two grand? And then by just giving that another two grand. It happens. But anyway, so even what renovations and building and that, I mean, you're still working.
You've got to intermingle background. You'll have to intermingle contract. You want to know what you're getting is all fitting. But if you can see the job that they've done in the past, and if you go to the forums in the clubs, they're the best people.
It's a recommend. But I know we're talking about money and getting rest up. But it does happen. Even to people like me, I just got some true work done on my Mustang, my analysis of my Mustang.
And I'm not having. What's your company car? What's 66 fastback? 66 fastback.
Yeah, this is an all-down project for the last 15 years. 15 years? 15 years. You're short?
So I've thought I'd use that box. I'm not going to get them for 40 different shops. The car had been changed. So they're three different shops at all.
They can't have warranty with your border on. This car, this car when we found it never end. We just found a shop with a motor in it. We found it in the front of the furniture that was just through the store and make something modern and old car by the way.
So there's different types of restoration than something when you're in the game. So you basically got what John did. He's got an original car and just made it back to its... Yeah, he's got original.
Yeah, but he was like... We've got custom-wide original. Rest down, mind. Yeah, rest down.
You might put an engine in a few years. Everything's more than like... Everything's more than like... What engine can we then?
All the running is in there now. It's three. It's got a big motor. It's got a frequent one.
We're going to the biggest road that's possible. Yeah, it's a 452. It's injected. We haven't got a running yet.
It's motors in there. We're getting very close. Originally we were going to run a C4 or a gearbox. We scraped that.
Now we're going to run a 6b order make. We're a paddle shift like a lame-awed car. Yeah. Apple CarPlay?
No, no, no, no. You're not even able to have this any roof or a stereo, isn't it? So basically when you bought it was a shell, 15 years ago. But you know, the thing is with that car, it came with options.
Factory air and all the smog stuff. And by chance, remember I put it on eBay. I put these parts on eBay. We'll get a problem out.
Yeah, and the thing is... The Mustang people were fighting over all these brackets that looked like rubbish. For the factory air, the smog canister and all. They were like, shut up, come down the RP car.
They wondered all the stuff that we thought was right. That's the problem. When you do a classic proper restoration, you want to try and use a reserve part. The Mustang is sold at a gazillion of them.
It's at least parts of rear and hand. Yeah. Where you guys are trying to do, like a rest of them are like whatever fits and works. Well you can get the system straight.
You can buy a complete shell now. I'm not converting all of them. I'm not sure. No, no, they've got the fast backs.
And they're the four silver front of the front. Yeah. So you're going to bring a shell in from the states on their own? A shell.
Okay, so you start with a chassis of any charge. With that body will fit on. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. I might just. I would say you just have a shell. You've got to see some sort of.
What's that? How many of you actually? How many of you Mustang's got done? The 6667?
Yeah. Me? You just got to get a wreck. Just got the chassis.
What you guys did, I mean you could start with anything and then work your way up. Well, it would probably replace everything. Yeah. I think the roof and the camarels and the back panel between the big floor and the back seat.
We changed everything. Floor pan. We're going to have to carry it. We're going to have to carry it on.
The truth is when we first started this we had the intention to do as quick as possible. Then we both, obviously, had kids. We decided to do the house. Yeah, kids together.
I won't even know. Well, we did buy the house. We did buy the house. We did buy the race.
We did it. Hey, and I lost. You're waiting the same group, I guess. You're like it to the way.
I was going to ask all of you, the finance. I mean, all these cost money. Ross is not here to divide his invoices by 10. Was it?
What's his formula? There's discount by 90% of the wife. Does it find out? No, I'll give you a receipt for an extra few bucks.
Whatever you want to be. It's true because before we built cars, before in the past together, six months, it'd be on the road. This car's taking us the longest ever because of our kids' build houses. You know, things come up prior to all this six months.
You're that big guy. It's funny. It's a spare time, really. If you're working on it yourself, you need to spare time because you're working on cars that bring your money first.
That's right. And then when John was different, John basically went to a shop and said, there's so much time you want, how much money you want, away we go. And he's like to go. Like Tom said, there's a lot more bad stories than good stories with the race.
It sounds like he had a good experience. Yeah, it is. I know a couple of lights up. That's a terrible experience.
That's right. Was that a city? Yeah. I mean, I had his very nice car.
I'm not going to say what it is because he was a kid away. But he waited nearly two years, which kind of got painted. Set there, set there, set there. And he'd say other people's cars come and go, which one is big of a job as he's bought?
He cars there. You were a kid. And he picked me. Why did you write it?
No, no, no, no, it wasn't like that. He got chucked of it. So he wasn't going to pick up his car and he took it somewhere else. He got a painted.
He's happy with it. But then the shit storm started from the other shop. Why? I did a good job.
They did a shit job. It's this. That's what happened when he picked cars somewhere else. It was not for real.
But now there's this bad one because, okay, what car was there for two years? And I don't know if people now who have cars in workshops, not just for paint, mechanical and stuff like that. What happens if there's the relationships at some time too close? And it's like, that's all right.
Get the car. Get the car. Get the car. And there's probably sometimes there could be just a solid two or three days work in it.
But I've got like, for me being, like, how do you say it? Like for me being a person that takes work in right and I do work, you've got your, your say, but you've also got on my side. You're getting pushed. You've got like six people.
Mate, I can only do one car. You're going to have to wait. Oh no, no, no, no. And I hand you a hand.
You're taking another car. But that's just another car. No, but like me, I've been in a situation where I've had a car. It's getting rest now or, you know, and then you've got two other people, three other people, hounding you.
I need to, I want to bring my car, I want to bring my car, I want to bring my car, I want to make your car, I'm busy, I'm busy, I'm busy. I guess it's the point where shit, I've had enough of him winching to me. Mate, bring the car. And then the car's there.
As a restorer, what works? Money up front or a person that's ringing and hounding you? What would make you get the car out? I mean, everyone's busy.
Is it a goal? Like if you want to get your car ready for some of that and it seems a certain tuning house, would you say the goal when you bring it in, I need this ready by November? That doesn't work for some people. Just go over their own pace and just, you know, all the do it.
I think we go around. I know he's that pushing guy later on, I'm not saying pushing from everyone else too, and it's like you're working on that guy. He can't see that. He just wants his car.
And they just push, push, push. There's a lot of cars. I'll say it happened a lot. And I thought, oh, man, the car was going to be at the next last year.
I know what's involved. Seriously, there's a week or solid work there. They're at least guys watching. They're watching American Charlies now.
I'll say the bills. That's true. They'll show you a wrist off. On an ever side that lasts an hour.
You've not done a full wrist off. No shows. We're talking realistically. I've got to buy it at the moment.
All he needs is the brake launcher. Everything's done. All he needs is the brake launcher. And they're there.
They're actually the guy. Everything's there. The new ones are there. So much is going to do it.
It's getting time to do it. And they get a note. I've got to pop down this guy. I'll let a guy for a month.
I'll pop down. I'll pop down this guy. I'll let a guy for a month. I'll pop down.
There's another car delirious. You've got to do it. You've got to buy it and just pull it out. What happened when you were at the car porch?
Do you know what happened when you saw the carie's back. You don't know what happens. The car scene is all over the house. It's like a book.
It happens. It doesn't really work. It doesn't work. You know what happens.
People get complacent. Right, the one the car scene is here. That's like a song on the book. It happens.
Not anyone's like that but some of them. Yeah but people are listening. Now, not representation. But it's special.
My backyards, I'm on Chocoblock and I'm getting abused by people. I do a few car yards and I'm getting abused by them. Like, I need my car, I don't understand, they're selling cars, I need the car to do it. They don't want to hear that.
Give it that one a couple of weeks or something. We're talking six months, twelve months and then... Look, I had a shop 20 years ago that had both. You used to do special record rest days and we had two different crowds.
One done, rest days, one done. It never saw it mixed up and the jobs used to get done. Like, it would fly through. And especially when I was on the floor doing them back in the days where I'm moving to complex, they would get done.
So, take a few minutes and if you want to, you've got an old Mustang and you want to restore it. Do you go to a rest-out, 100% rest-out top shop? I'd go to a Mustang shop. One's that do the Mustangs and I'd say it's an old Mustang.
And John's rough in the start. The project took nine months. It was all original. It looks great.
It looks great. And you've had nothing but... I think it's a guy who can sit down, look at my car and do a total pass list. If he called it all about, looked at what parts he could polish up and fix and what parts would cut this.
I mean, he's got a whole pass list. Because he does all the time. But also the customer, I mean, I know John for a while. So, I think you want to track yourself to a shop that's a nonsense.
Yeah, exactly what I wanted to set there. So, he had three meetings before we had an old Mustang. I know everything I wanted to be doing. Because I was sitting on the bike side.
And the only problem is with these guys is it often take longer. Sometimes, and not always, but sometimes what they don't do is they start changing their mind along the way. But you say that up and call it one. Oh, yeah.
Because they get changed and they might even get upset with you. But you've got a lot of parts. And they don't understand because they see these shows are passed down. Quick down and it's been there for a few months to get it.
Yeah. And then the whole thing to a rest-out is do your research, ask other people. Go into the shop. If you see half a dozen cars sitting there having been touched while you've been talking to them, you know, you're just asking the question.
Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Half a million lives are on the ground. Yeah, but you need to read your guides.
Six cars have been finished. And just ask what's the average turnaround? I was going to say John, you were in a car club? Like, did you speak to any of those forums or car people?
No. Yeah. You were lucky, weren't you? Like I said you've had a bad experience before.
Yeah, but then I ran a lot of places, talked to a lot of people before I picked the guy I'd chosen the end. Yeah, you've done well. He was actually recommended by a guy that brings in parts to any of them. Can you hear the guy's company's name?
No, just my stings. And just my stings that I actually do on the conversion. Which at least means something else which I was saying a bit earlier. Because I got the car down in Victoria because I had the converter from left to right.
I had to get an engineer's certificate. Guess what? The engineer's certificate is down there, don't work out there. Because I've even got registered in Victoria because I don't have a shop down there.
So I just pretend that Victoria has to do a rigour every year, you know, you have to recurve every year for the car. You brought up the point. I've got someone lined up about importing cars. But you brought something today that I was aware of and that's between state lines, especially with classic cars.
And the market is growing for 30 plus G cars with the registration by New South Wales and Victoria. That promote and allow these old cars to run cheaply around a full-reggo. It's a club and historic type of rigour and they're promoting these old cars. But you're right, John.
You've come across a board, a physical board and that is the studious down there, don't work in yourself. I'm just so excited. I'm so excited to go ahead and get on the guitar in place. And some couples me over and go, that's Gary Rachkin in the new South Wales.
I mean, I sort of move up between Victoria and that. That's Gary Rachkin in the South Wales. So I thought I'd go. I think I'd go.
Because it's where my address was and my lessons went to. So I was close to the end and became a little bit of proof of cars. I rushed down there, which I couldn't do, of course. So about two weeks later I got to find the person who was about $600 or $600.
Before I was in my car, I registered. My car is only in Victoria and my car is unregistered. I was just a figure. I was just a figure.
I was just a figure. I lost Camaro. He really. He came back.
I rode into the RMS. I rode into the ticket. I went back and went up to the car. I was just a figure.
I was just a figure. I was just a figure. I was just a figure. It was a sinking agent, and I was just a figure.
So I figured it's a good plan. So to take it, it might have been a� It was legendary. Am I always going to give up? Well, I spent a lot of time on P January to make the shooting.
I couldn't Tet city. And they're all GTs? We all got Mustang GTs. The ones from 20 years ago.
No, 10 or 20 years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. With the coverage, though, if the vehicle's being registered in another site, all you need here is a pink sleeve. For coverage, for full red, though, you'll have to get a blue sleeve.
That's where they're going to start asking for engineers to do because stuff like that. For coverage, though, I went to the RMS. On coverage, I hear them even need, because it's not a transfer of registration. Yeah, but they're sent to you.
No, I've gone through that many years ago, but they got one that agreed, right? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, business, top. There's no duty. I'm just transferred one.
There is no duty. You can go buy a $100,000 car, right, today. That's right. $100,000 on the receipt.
Go to RMS with your pink sleeve and your client's documentation, and you're going to pay $22. Yeah, but you're going to buy a club redo car, is that what you're saying? Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I was just a downer.
Is there a room? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's a federal tax. OK, you're going to pay that when you import the car before you get the car released. You're going to pay me a lot of expensive mustangs that you hear about, Stephen, Queen, and this.
Yeah, Craig wants it before, you ask? Yeah. Four and a half hours. What does that do?
We can't stay tuned in that way. What? Not a club redo? I'm going to the States.
It's not here. Yeah, it's not here. I've got a friend on club redo. I've got a friend on club redo.
Every car on board I'm going to pay a pretty good. And that's the rule is, it's not a transfer of registration. What's the deal with a club redo? So if you go to the club redo, yeah, that's one day.
60 days. 60 days. And then your club days. If there's a month.
Is that only a month long? No, no, that's not a month long. So if you do a club run, like, the half-up does the, you know, the food and the month run. So that's three days.
They don't count because it's a club run. So your monthly club run or every six, whenever you go, does it count? You still get the log book in the car, you know, but you don't have to feel like it because it's a club run. So it's a nice system to meet.
I've been pulled over once and you need a look at it. Well, the book. No, because you guys, you guys, very nice. You guys wear your off to it.
You're probably got your cars and coffee this morning. You're very nice. And they'll do it, aren't they? They'll do it, aren't they?
They'll look at it. I'm very sorry. They look at your total, the tags. Victoria, they crack down on it.
So they've got these another plates, they go through the tunnels, and they look at your mobile, get a record of it. There's one that's buying cars and using them as day drivers. Like 30-year-old. Yeah, can't reach station wagons.
What's wrong with that? Yeah. Well, unless you're working 60 days a year. Yeah.
Hey, you know what, I know this is your office and everything. Yeah. I want to know why there's a recipe for pink, white calamity, or the table in the kitchen. That's remnants of the last day of work.
Oh, what a year of last year. Yeah, I was a sort of sort of... That is a climate use. That's a climate use.
Well, there's blokes there. One bloke I caught. Yeah. Oh, he...
In Victoria. So what he was doing, he'd do his coverage. He'd do his coverage. He'd do his coverage.
Because he'd get the same thing as it's 60 days or 60 days. And then when it got close to the left, he'd pound it off to his wife. Right? And get another 63 days.
Well, it's based on the driver. No, because he'd get a new regi-jock. Because it's an engine you had. Yeah.
That's why. Okay. There's all the little changes within this tree. So it was costing him...
There's another good mess. Yeah. That's like the guy that fills up Metro with two cents. Right.
So it's costing him four bucks. And you work it out. You get a free take after about a thousand regi-jock. At the moment.
Yeah, it is. At the moment. Like whatever. It's $52 or something.
It gets you two months. I've got a question. Does that mean we're going to have to get an engineer's report? I'll do it after.
You know what I'm going to do. You're not going to drive it. A couple of months. You can get modified regi-go.
As long as you've got it on the same conditions. What's modified regi-jock? It's green and white. I see that.
That's what I'm going to do. It doesn't matter. $92 a year including green-sleece. The best I'm up late to get is DC.
That's for the diplomatic corps. You can't get a book. No, of course. You'll pay $92 a year for green slip and regi-go for 60 days.
And your full insurance will plant it through the floor. Have we got any places in the middle there? No. We've got everything.
We did that originally in the middle. I've had these plates. I've got rid of all mine. But you know what the drags are going to do.
The calf are going to register the drags. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
