Hey Al, you gonna get the kid on the tools?
If they abused the donor car's exterior and interior so badly I question their maintenance habits with it.
@Sam Moore .. lol i clicked it out of curiosity .. aah a blast from the past
Why did I think that core link was legit 😹🤦🏼♂️
Good price for the remainder of the black wagon
I got rick rolled in 2021.
Nissans are better
do those 6spd manuals bolt up to EJ20?
Not all coilovers are made in Taiwan though. Those are all made by the same manufacturer but there are good coilovers like KW and shocks from Bilstein and Koni.
Yea at this point 16 years later we are going to have or almost going to have self driving electric cars by that time but I'm still holding on to my 01 Impreza sedan a wagon would be better hauling plywood and what not with the proper tiedowns
I'm hoping i can give my son my 4x4 and then I can buy a kingswood finally.
Hail the mighty turbo yoda
Really makes me glad to hear you call Marty a friend--just something great as an audience member to genuinely think about your similar interests and content resulting in a positive relationship. Also very happy that build has grown your viewership, as well. Always impressed by the work you do, and your cameo in a Project Binky episode a while back was a nice plus, too.
Is it just me, or does anyone else genuinely love listening to Turbo Yoda talk about Subarus? There is so much knowledge inside this mans head, whenever he is talking, I cant stop listening!!
Liberty wagons are the best thing beside SG Fozzies
Damn what a lucky lad to have his dad build him a car!
Twin Turbo Yoda 👌
it´s a joy watching you whizz... no major rust, everything unbolts fairly easily...
Hey guys. I have a 2000 Outback with the 5sp manual and the 4wd lever. There doesn't seem to be any synchro left when trying to go from 2nd to 1st ( basically have to come to complete stop to get it into 1st). Is this 1 of the normal issues with the 5 speeds?
Whats the k series for?
Might have been easier and cheaper to swap the good panels and interior from the white car into the black car.
"every dads dream" not my dads lol
As a Canadian I gotta ask where’s all the freaking rust
I'm a VW and chevy guy at the base but being a tech I always loved working on subys. So simple, every thing is where it makes sense!
Al you're the man especially for the quick diatribe on coilovers and ride height! haha
Got a lot of kays on it . Well a lot for a Subaru ...... And the fight started 🤣
What's a "P plate?"
Good on ya makin him learn in a manual not only so he’s legally allowed to drive both but manual will keep him way more involved with what he’s doing
@5:32 amen Alan, preach brother! P. S. I'm available to be adopted...lol
My father in law has a Compact Fairlane in the yard (~1963) that I want to build with the little bloke, but we are a few years off (he is 2 years old)
German brand coilovers are made in Germany. But most coilovers for jdm cars are made in Taiwan. Point being come to the dark side
I just noticed the flag in the back. Respect
For my kid it will be a vw golf 2 GTD mk1
Love some Liberty wago content!
Subaru for life!
I love aussies commitment to subarus. They are great
Wakaliwood ghetto rally
Can I buy the steering wheel shift paddles? I need some for a build I’m doing.
Those look like maxpeedingrods coilovers.. they have a history of snapping. Wouldn't advise for your son's car. I may be wrong tho.
Love the could've rant, cause lets be realistic here, you can throw coilovers into 4 main price categories and atleast in the unbranded eBay and generics base model branded one there's really nothing in it until you get into the high end stuff. But even then the whole one's good and the other is trash thing is ridiculous
Can u use tht 6 speed on a gf8
A manual license? what is this stupidity? In SA its go your hardest at either.
Bit at the end made me giggle!
Always said ill get my kids something manual and without ABS, if they can learn to brake without locking up and sliding without ABS, they will be a better driver with it :p
can i have some parts before the car is dumped? want the plastic finishers that are on the back seat that cover the hooks for the child seat
Lol lol 😂 Great ending Nug Nug Nugget Garage Forever C&S 😉
Alan, I like that you share your knowledge with us. You don't "talk too much."
Al is already anticipating a mattress in the back of that wagon I'm willing to bet hahaha rat bag
I wonder what insurance is like in AUS, you would not stand a chance of insuring that at 16/17 in the UK/ireland.
These aussie cars are so clean underneath man! I would dread to think what one of these wagons would like like underneath with that decent milage in the UK. So jealous!
Man, I always thought you should've a NOtown channel, but didn't found out until today. Super happy to sub! :)
I’m in a ez30r 2008 liberty spec b ( manual ) on green p plates now and it’s making 175kw at the wheels with full exhaust, intake, HD clutch and a really good tune 😜
Very nice work, Al. My dad hooked me up with a Mazda 323. Best from the States.
Bogan central.
Mate, get that clip of Marty's close-up going "in the bin" to use in your vids too. Would be a crack up of an inside joke. Plus, he should bring Super Gramps over for a visit.
Now we're talking, the trusty Legacy.
Allan was about to come on boost! Who knew? Great channel guys! Budget coil overs for the win! 👌✌️🤞
👍🏼🤘🏼😎
First video I’ve watched on your channel can’t wait for all the good content. Gonna go thru all your videos now lmao
What's the music at 10:35?
Respect for the mechanical stig
when ever people spell out the details of getting licenses in other parts of the world it just cracks me up and scares me to death at the joke of a process in the usa........ok your 16 you have done like 12 hours of driving... here you go anything you can afford.... I just got my motorcycle license last weekend..... (on a 26 hp 275 lb motorcycle) want a turbo busa ? sure .........
Wholesome af! Wish my dad was interested in cars and this involved when I was your sons age. Congrats on being a great dad and I look forward to the rest of the build.
I couldn’t wait to watch this video when I saw the title. I built my first truck with my dad and he built his first car with my grandfather. There is something special about vehicles with that kind of story.
Best p plater is an xr6 na manual
I didn't think you could have any mods as a P plater, I guess Turbo Yoda knows what he is doing so I won't argue.
Is that a turbo bolted to the exhaust of the forklift? Bloody awesome 👌
Man, i have a 2005 version with 100kW engine and it's so nice. But Your son is gonna have the best version every! Cheers
Can we just acknowledge the wholesome content from these awesome human beings in Australia
Now if only someone could explain to me on why my H6 whines? I've asked multiple mechanics, replaced the usual parts that ppl have mentioned, no one seems to know.
He’s a lucky young bloke and you’re a ripper dad, well done Al.
You need to cut some talking and do the working of your video's thank you
What a lucky son. I can't wait to have kids of my own. And also, did Al turbo hos forklift? Whoa
Will this fit in my honda?
show the pin and y it needed puled to split the box plezzzz !!!!!!
Did anyone else come here expecting baby Yoda jokes?
Less talk, more work....lol
Says the dude watching youtube.
I love the Liberty wagon, i had one as an Uber car for a couple of years.
Camera man, please pan camera over to parts being talked about and pointed at. Cheers.
Im from the uk, your flag is hilarious
Keen to see a skid factory mighty car mods collaboration
GO DAD!!!!
😂 That was next level Nugget Garage trolling at the end 😂
Tbh I've run cheap and expensive coilovers and the cheap ones really are shit 😂 they're good if you just want big lows, but make the car so bouncy compared to standard suspension or expensive coilovers. But at the end of the day, everyone has a budget and it's good you can get a cheap set if that's what you want.
TWO ALAN'S! I am surprised the shop didn't implode!
You boys have some way to go to rival the humongous elongation of looping that the Nuggets get upto 🤣🤣 awesome tho 👍🏼👍🏼
The soggy deodorant wailly annoy because lyric conversantly present absent a observant competitor. loving, rural astronomy
Love the fact you are building something safe, sound & reliable for your Son... Would be awesome to see him on the job... I'm an Auto Leccy and been around cars for ever but getting my son to change a flatty on a 200 series was a mission when he was 15.. even after we loosened the wheel nuts for him :P... Keep up the good work
Turbo Yoda looks so happy! Awesome!
Hearing ya Al, purchased 2009 2010 Foresters for my kids, just recently.
In the bin....
So no skids for the lad , boo
What size is your shed Alan? I’m building mine soon and yours seems spot on.
ripper vid keen for the next one
👌
"I know the stuff you get up to when you're that age." Al building his son a wagon because he knows damn well a teenager is gonna want space in the rear to get laid. Lol
Marty is actually Turbo Yoda's son.
think statistics say your like 70% likely to crash your first car or something, its a high percentage, iunno jus say, glad my first car was a shitbox cut'n'shut

I never knew Al was the previous owner of the gen 4 supergramps wtf
Good job Al hope he appreciates all the hard work your doing for him
The intro! hahaha
You a great Dad. From dad to dad thank you.
