Scottys Garage - How Good Is The Fairmont... Actually?

Really looking forward to watch8ng this unfold!

This is one mercurial effort Scott. You may have already but a detailed video on how you organised all this when you get back would be awesome. A logistical challenge for sure.

And the anticipation builds

This will be epic

That you’ll do this in 8 days

It would take me 8 years

That's not Scottys Garage!! Enjoy your trip..

Looking forward to it Scotty, need raptor to get onboard and send you a supercharger.
Great work mate.

Those back quarter windows 🤮

Scotty, ya Fairmont is so 80's daggy, that it's cool! Slap that barra into it, get it running and see what it can do with a barra upgrade!

Gooooo scotty you got this! Maybe you could throw some vvg shine juice on the fairmont that would be cool if you get any spare time, goodluck with it all

The next big thing, hot rod Faairmonts and Scotty is ahead of the curve.

nice looking workshop there, complete with machining and refreshment area.

Darren and Brian are top blokes! Don’t burn yourself out Scotty, it’s a bloody awesome project, with awesome people. All the best that the f up gods stay away!!

Let’s go Scotty !!! 😜👍🇦🇺

You get your work cut out for you Scotty good luck hope all goes to plan 👍

Excellent stuff Scotty

Cool as mad shop to be working in!!

I think your contained optimism is on point Scotty. Enjoy it!

Scotty any chance you could get some draggy numbers for before and after?

👍👍👍

awesome project Scotty. Thanks to our US friends helping make it happen - but 8 days 😬😬

True car guy, shows mostly around the parts, not the car 🤣

Scotty this thing is the biggest pimp mobile

Well done to everyone who’s backing you on this

This will be a sick series.

Darren, I want your workshop! That's my ideal workshop! This is going to be a cool project for sick week Scotty. I can't wait to see the work going into it!
Update on my Holden VE Sportwagon, did all the oil & fluids, I also tightened up a few things and It's now running. I've got to do the test drive which I'm about to do.
Can't wait to see more of Scotty in the USA!

Car looks good hopefully you can get it all sorted also your nowhere near LA but it ain't looking real flash right now so stay safe and I hope a second civil war doesn't start on you

All the best Scotty, have fun

What a great looking workshop!! I genuinely hope it all comes together well for you Scotty!! Keep up the great work you do mate!

Go Guys....

Truly a hideous looking car. But no less fun to play with, looking forward to your voyage of discovery!

its finally having the motor it should of had

Sleep tight,time to start dreaming 💪😎⛽

I'm so keen for this Scotty!!! We have an fg G6e turbo that's been our family car since 2016 which shortly will be retired and I want to do a ground up build including paint with my two young fellas in the hopes that we'll be able to tackle drage challenge here in aussie with it. Seeing you do this motivates me to get it done!!!

Onya Scotty, hook into it! Big Cheers to your friends over there for helping out! Awesome!

I reckon a pristine 1 would only bring $4 per ton....Go hard and ruin it...(not)...😅😂😂

food and sleep is the next step to be able to tear the car apart. the fairmont looks like it has saggy arse syndrome if time allows maybe a set of firm shocks for the back, yes its not concourse but it is a different body shape we dont see here. i had a laugh at the size of the car and only 4 stud wheels on it. Looks like you will have fun and good company in that workshop, maybe you might teach them some aussie workshop words while tinkering with the mini land yacht

Barramont nice!

It'd make a cool ute with a bit of cutting and welding. Get rid of that weird quarter window.

Go you Good Thing!

Love what you're doing, living my dream.
Bronzed Aussie though? There's an na BBC salt flat commodore that would like a word

Nice work

Nice work, mate all in all great car but old car things 😂❤

4 stud pattern and a Barra swap. I wonder what might break first?

an angle grinder, some beers and it would make a great ute?🤣

Like it think lose the back mini ute' be great for drag challenge. Thanks be great get good barra in it. Cheers

Thanks darrin'

Mint stuff Scotty and boiz👍🏻👌🏻

I’d love to see a workshop tour video if you get the chance 👍

Hey Scotty, not sure if this is covered in later instalments, but by putting in a Barra with considerably more horsepower, shouldn't you update to 5 stud pattern wheel. Don't know why American sixes mostly have a 4 stud wheel, even old XLs here have 5. Excellent series, looking forward to catching up to the current installment - I'll binge it this weekend.
