I blame cheap Chinese parts and Discovery cable TV shows where 2 people completely restore a car in two weeks for the average punters mindset that everything takes a few hours and costs $20

Do not change a thing. You're not Gas Monkey where the conversion needs to be finished in an hour.
Barra into Bedford is like when I dropped the 1UZ to the old Crown, except a couple of orders of magnitude more complex. An oddball conversion where every single system has to be upgraded.
Love watching how you solve problems. Love the fabrication and craftmanship. Enjoy the dry humour.Proudly presenting the new foot long chocolate Subway.

Cant imagine there are may easy found upgrades for a bedford, sure as shit Al has stuck a wide variety of engines in various holes that they dont belong into. The bedford would be unique , as its not exactly lets fab a few mounts a bit of wiring and she is good to go, perhaps some we are going to do XYZ with some bennyhill music playing in the background, stop it and point out any issues or a simple lemon squash timeOriginally posted by Andrew Bolt View PostDo not change a thing.

I’m on the don’t change bandwagon. Moving to flash production and full builds over one episode would lose the whole enjoyment of the skid factory, not to mention all of the useful tips on products like fittings, tooling, welding, guest appearances etc etc.
Al & Woodrigos killing it as is, it’s the vibe, it’s Mabo and most of all it’s the vibe.Originally posted by Faux ForgI agree with Rdyno

This thing we are doing is successful, but 2 people on the internet said we should change it because they have attention deficit disorder and aren't coping with a long build, lets change everything.Pest Control - Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich and South West QLD PF discounts apply.

Some people are probably thinking "15 eps of Pedford and still no skids on skid factory...Less dirt squirt talk and bro jokes and more skids... we don't care about the making of brake lines... just post vids of bolting turbos to manifolds and welding wastegates to stuff and haltech being "plugged in" and dyno screen showing a line ramp up to 450rwkw while we hear the howl of a straight 6"
Can't please everyone.
Bits of this project I find interesting and bits I don't.
I still watch all of it because car guy.

Re: The Skid Factory
We live in an age of instant gratification. The channel caters to those who understand that a project car isn't built overnight, and to the one that complain, they may soon hopefully realise that as well.
You're on the right track. My Dad doesn't watch MCM but frequently when I pop over I'll find him glued to the computer watching Skid Factory videos. You've got it on point. Change nothing.
