23.01.2022 The vauxhalls new radiator, trans cooler and trans lines are all in now, a few finishing touches and finish off the braided lines to the cooler and that's 1 more job ticked off and 1 step closer to heading to the painters... @ RESTO STATION AUTO

22.01.2022 So the 56 Vauxhall has made its way over to the painters now, i have a few small jobs on it left to finish up before they go there as well to be painted, 1 of them being sorting out the fuse and relay panel for in behind the glove box lid, every fuse and relay other than the fuel pump relay which will end up in the tray compartment will be in this little area.... the sparky is a whizz coming up with this idea... #restostationauto #vauxhall #streetcar #streetrod #custom #fabrication @ RESTO STATION AUTO

20.01.2022 Ok to all the followers and Facebook people, this monaro has an LS1 out of a VT senator (commodore) that had the VATS(vehicle anti theft system) turned off, it's been together and running before we got the car, we have redone the entire car, it's been painted but all the electrics were removed, put it all back together and now the security has come back on for some reason, does anyone in the springwood (qld logan) area remove these security as now it won't send a spark signal to fire.... #monaro #commodore #LS1 #lstheworld #hsv @ RESTO STATION AUTO

19.01.2022 #tbt ... What was your first pride and joy??? this is the first car that I invested in, had an XD V8 as my first actual car but parents gave that to me so this 1984 Ford Falcon XE grand prix turbo Dick Johnson Special, 1 or 50 built is my first car purchased(@19yrs old) that I have put money into...

18.01.2022 Custom made brake pivot fir the vauxhall to get the last piece of the brake system sorted out ready for it to hit the road... #vauxhall #custom #streetcar #streetrod #fabrication #performance @ RESTO STATION AUTO

17.01.2022 The big girl is on the hoist about to start on the box and motor removal, geezaassss she really is a big car...

16.01.2022 Vauxhalls new brake set up coming along nicely, pedal box in lines made to the kick panel, booster will be inside the front guard right near the A-pillar with braided flex lines so's that if needed the booster can be unbolted from inside the kick panel area and pulled forward to do repairs without having to take the guard off to do it.... nice little trick I think to save a major removal of panels just to get to the booster lines... bloody big job though well worth it in the long run I think... @ RESTO STATION AUTO

13.01.2022 Hi guys, a customer is selling a car and needs it transported to the ACT from our shop at loganholme Brisbane 4129 to Fyshwick ACT 2609 i saw a post a few days ago of a guy transporting cars up and down the coast does anyone have the details as i've troed looking and cant find him, its a non running land rover series 2A SWB 4WD... Cheers Trent and Ally. Resto Station Auto..

12.01.2022 Ok people out in Facebook land, the big land barge needs to be blasted and epoxy coated, she's a big girl so I will be separating it from the chassis and putting it on a dolly to be moved around, who around can do it at a reasonable price and guarantee to not warp the panels as there so big they need to stay as true as possible, every where needs doing, Inside the car, the boot, underneath and all the hanging panels as well... if you know someone who wants to take it on and end up being my new blasting go to guy than get in touch, we have around 4 cars in the mix to be done....

11.01.2022 Project land rover is starting to come along nicely, rear tub and firewall sections back on this morning, finish putting all the pedals and brake parts back in and steering column as well make the brake lines up from master to prop valve and we should be able to steer and stop it atleast... #custom #landrover #fabrication #streetcar #streetrod #holden186 #holdenredmotor #holdenblackmotor @ RESTO STATION AUTO

10.01.2022 To all the people that thought i was doing vauxhalls everyday here seeing that we had 2 in and a 3rd would drop in on occasions, 1 is off at the painters now and we have 3 land rovers here with a 4th and a 5th in the mix once we can get these done and out of here, cant wait to finish them all off as there going to be pretty cool rigs once we are finished... #landrover #streetrod #streetcar #fabrication #musclecars #custom @ RESTO STATION AUTO

10.01.2022 Doing our bit for the brisbane EKKA this yr, made a roll bar from god knows what fit onto the Commodore to hold the flags for the parade there... @ RESTO STATION AUTO

10.01.2022 Hi guys, so the HQ coupe with the LS1 is running but still idling high, i have tried the idle motor reset a few times now and not been sucessful, the idle motor still opens slightly and allows it to rev at around 1500-2000rpm, i dont believe i need it to go on a dyno but every tuner that the owner has contacted so far wants to charge for a full tune, is there any one out there that can talk to the comp and reset the idle motors settings to it so it behaves its self at the shop without having to send it to the dyno??? Its so close to being on the road and we just want it finished for the customer.. Cheers guys Trent and Ally. Resto Station Auto..

02.01.2022 So this is the wife's new ride and our first in shop build were doing, she wants it to MOVE FASTER so we've decided to name it mufasta, evo 3 motor and just need to find an auto to go beside it in the engine bay and than we drop it all in, so to all the mitsy guys out there what good 4G pattern box fits in as it's on the opposite side to the original position, or do we just turbo the 4G15 instead?????

02.01.2022 Front wheels are where they should be now on the second Vauxhall we have in for a tidy up, exact same as the other full Resto were doing only all were doing to this 1 is front end up grade, switching motor and box from the original Vauxhall 6cyl and Celica 5spd it had to a holden 202 and tri-matic, all new brake set up, steering column, shifter and a few other small things and she will be on her way back to the owner in no time.... @ RESTO STATION AUTO

02.01.2022 So the hidden booster is in now with flex lines so it can be removed without taking the front guard off to get to it all, just need to make a cover plate to protect it from debris the front wheel may pick up and than male the hard lines from the bulkhead fittings at the bottom to the front flex lines on the chassis... @ RESTO STATION AUTO

01.01.2022 So the monaro is running(poorly) the idle air control valve that came with the aeroflow 4 brrl throttle body was bypass air and not controlling it, spoke to a few people about it and they said to swap to an original LS1 unit, did that no change still revs at around 3-4000rpm, if I block the air bleed hole at the back which feeds the air control valve it will idle nicely, now I've had a mafless tune put into it, it's a std HSV senator motor, loom and comp and it seems to me that something is holding the air control motor off it's seat and bypassing air, other than shipping it off to a dyno tuner(which I also need to find someone local to us) does anyone have some insite as to why it isn't behaving it's self and a fix so I can move it around to finish off the trim and assembly before I send it for a tune to give it back to the customer...
