Benny's Custom Works brings you everything automotive!
Weekly Episodes right here on CZcams, as well as the shop with new & used performance parts for most Japanese makes and models.
Benny makes this stuff look like a walk in the park. Please consider the risk factors and talk to a qualified mechanic, as well as a psychologist, if you’re thinking of attempting anything you’ve seen on the show.
Take into consideration your safety, the safety of others, as well as your vehicle’s best interests- warranty, etc.
Unless you’re trained & qualified to do so, we don’t recommend modifying your vehicle in any way. Stickers don’t add HP unless installed correctly.
Very respectful message and a great reminder to always take care. Never assume anything working on your vehicle.
It's always the right time to talk about working on your car safely. That's sad. Everyone who knew that guy wishes they could have said something that would've saved his life.
Silicone Christmas tree action! lol.
Benny, you put more effort into pulling the car apart than the old owner did modding it.
We’re just getting started!
It was hard work making it look factory.
Dam poor guy RIP ,prob early 80s got my HR Holden up in the air on beer crates as i changed the front end ,front cross member was in no wheels with 2 beer crates under the xmember ,Girl friend called me in for tea and a beer ,bit later come out side ,beer crates are kindling and the discs are embeded in about a inch into the drive way right where my head was lol got a pair of axle stands arfter that,had a JP block LJ GTR 202 in it 465 holley ,iron case celica box ,EL falcon LSD diff cut down ,kept up ish with my mates HQ 327 th400 Ute and most days pull away due to his rear gearing for drags
V8 Supercars run a full spool in the transaxle. Yes it's a little crude but it makes for a very reliable way to get the best drive from the rear wheels in a straight line. As a bit of tech in Supercars they actually try to get the inside rear wheel to lift either off the track or enough to basically have no traction from that tyre. It helps them in slow corners where you want the least amount of resistance to turning.
I agree with Gian. It's blue.
Looks like a teal, so is it blue or green or just blue green. Good color have words over lol.
In the words of Moog "Congratulations, you now have two piles of s**t"
I live in the US and my heart sank. My grandfather lost a coworker who was working on his car at home. The cars center of gravity slipped off the jack stands crushing his chest instantly killing him.
When working my car I have to work on an uneven driveway on dirt. I use jack stands and chock the wheels when not unmounted. When the wheels are removed I lay them upside down and position them under the frame. Never have had the car fall also I never assume it won’t, in fact I assume it will.
Thank you Benny for sharing even if it brought the mood down. People do risky stuff all the time without thinking about safety.
I have said the same on the Street Machine channel, trust a jack like you would trust a secondhand franga, the effects could change your life or end your life. If it goes up it will come down DO NOT F#@K with gravity!!!
This car has definitely attempted to follow me through a Canberra roundabout in the wet while I was in my WRX.
Also January 2020 Canberra copped a lot of hail damage, cars older than 10 years never got WOVR'd either.
Yeah this has hail damage for sure
Didn't expect to wake up to an hour long BCW episode 👌
I like the longer format for you benny.
Thanks :) we’re just having a laugh !
Benny, this is the way to go! I’d left the channel, mostly, because I couldn’t follow the long montages without any voiceover explanation. This kind of episode is the joyous grumpiness that Al and Woody used to have. Your knowledge as a mechanic and a car buyer is incredible. Keep sharing!
That Valvoline sighn on the back wall is about the same colour as the car, so maybe Valvoline has a big ass sticker big enough to wrap your bonnet with?
The best vid full of sarcasm and just project shit ! Love it !❤❤❤❤
awesome chats as per 🤣 stay safe guys, when ya old like me you tend to be more tentative. Always jackstands or something wider than ya body if ya under ya vehicle. If youve dropped a trolley jack too fast ya know how quick they come down
you're correct about the XF and EA not having V8s. I's a bloody outrage 🤨
Dad had an XE Wagon when I was a kid with a 302 Cleveland. Nearly crashed it when I was 15 and being an idiot LOL
EB was when they went to Windsor
It was nice that it ended and restarted with some special models too. The XE ESP was the last hurrah of the Clevo, then the EB XR8 Sprint to hail the return of the new fangled injected Windsor.
Ford Falcon fun fact. To totally confuse Benny and Gian's Falcon dilemma, Ford produced the BA Mk 1 and Mk II and BF Mk 1 and Mk II. I worked at the Ford marketing dept at the time and I cant remember what the differences were. Except to say my favourite car of that era was the BF Falcon XR6 Turbo Manual Mk II (in Black) I had as a company lease car. Those were the days......................
Good rods in the bf mkII
@BennysCustomWorks bf turbo got the 6 speed auto from the mk1, not sure if it also got the 6 speed manual and ba only got the 5 speed
@@W0rp3Dba2 turbo was 6 speed manual
@31:30 Mong Wrists 🤣
Great vid ben Great respect to the poor kid and his family Great safety message
In the US zip codes/ post codes are usually very specific. Whereas the area code is much more broad. Your example of the "405" covers most if not all of Oklahoma City. OKC then has dozens of zip codes.
Moonroof is a type of sunroof that's usually built into the roof itself, made of glass and tinted. They can also tilt and open but the main difference is that they're stream lined into the body itself, and other sunroofs have an added-on look and aren't always tinted. That's according to wiki ❤
In the early 1970's, a Mercedes Benz would have a sunroof, which was a retractable solid metal panel, painted to match the body. In later years, they replaced the metal panel with tinted glass, and called it a moonroof. I've always heard an early Porsche 911 with the sunroof referred to as 'sunroof' coupe, they had a solid painted panel as well.
Absolute P plater spec, disposable vapes, chopped springs, dash lights on, front bar fitment is shagged.
8:28 it's a falcon, of course it's munted lol
I really liked the long format instead of 20-25 min. Thanks Benny !
Great video vibes lads, the back and forth is great, it feels like garage hangs with mates. Chilled out, having fun.
Full respect for the message at the beginning. Scotty on Scotty's Garage @blownhemi mentioned the young blokes tragic loss on his episode too. Love the colour. What's the paint code, please?
I’ll double check the paint code for you
FF - Bionic Blue
Locally hated sticker issued when you get your first major defect.
My BA XR6 ute had that same 12 pin flat plug and it was factory/dealer installed and embossed with FORD and all.
"It does have headers!" 😂
When using Jack's or jackstands on grass/dirt they need to be on wood suitable to spread the load and take the weight. Personally I will always use hardwood rather than pine.
I like the sun roof panel swap. It's a shame that that person lost his life. That's the reason for level ground and one piece non adjustable jack stands.
It's a shame we never got the falcon in the US. Having watched this video after working on my US market Holden VE (Pontiac G8).
Wel said on the safety coment. I'm lucky all my current vehicles are (just) high enough to get under with wheels on the ground. Only use a jack to change wheels.
When I was in high school, we lost a really popular substitute teacher mid-year 'cos a jack collapsed while he was under his car. I've taken proper jacking procedure seriously ever since. Good PSA, Benny.
Torx is for Torque Xtreme. Yes, it was invented in the 80's.
That Ford FALCOON is a wonderful Car Good job Benny Fixing it up 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I had one of these brand new, XR6, same colour (which I loved), orange stitching in the seats 6 speed manual, no sunroof. It was the most fun car I had driven in a very long time. The main weekness at traffic light drags was the clutch. :-)
I wish that they had continued American production. As well as the Fairlane. Now we only have the Mustang. The Dark Horse Edition(Mustang) comes with the ten speed auto trans just like the F-150.
Milwaukee charger won’t light up without a battery lol
Well it’s at the dump now
That's what looks like a bionic blue mk2 xr6, manual, sunroof and what looks to be the optional sude and leather bf trim.. here in Melbourne a clean example is worth between 15-20k at the very least..
This is not clean. Not even close :D
I feel your pain with sunroofs spent years trying to find a is300 with no sunroof and every lexus i bought i had no choice on the matter until i found a mint is300 with no sunroof and has no factory vsc due to not being a luxury spec
Amps these days do have hi level inputs older amps don't, to install that single din stereo you have to run new wiring to the speaker outputs from the stock stereo behind the glove box and in the driver's kick panel for the front right speaker,accessories,ground,constant can be found on a blue plug under the driver side dash above fuse box, antenna unplugs from stock stereo under it infont of the gear shifter, extend all wiring from stereo plug to the car
Here in Argentina, we had a similar story with the Falcon. Arrived in 66 as the US model, and then evolved into a different branch of restyle that was local. It was produced until early 90's and mostly with 2 engine options, both I6: 188ci or 3.0L, and 221ci or 3.6L, and curiosly, one year it had the option of an I4 2.3 Lima engine. We never had the 300ci I6 that US had, or the barra engine that you have. The only v8 options in here weren't available in Falcon, only in F100 and Fairlane models, with the 292ci engine (also kind of rare in US).
Such a cool car, I would like to see you can ship it to the US for a drag and drive beater to leave here
If I was going to get a beater I’d just buy something in the US tbh
@@BennysCustomWorks ya, your fox body Barra idea was genius
Keep it up Mr Neal, if there's one thing I love as much as SIGMA stuff it's gotta be drift FALCON stuff (I've got an AU with all the fruit)
nah they started ba after the au was designed (2000s), which was after au mid 90s design process, you wont find a concept of a ba falcon as it was designed in a short time period, there is a whole documentary about it, the whole ba was 2000s and was a design iteration, very efficient work flow
Locally built holdens and fords always did model names because they didn't update them yearly, then vb and xd onwards had series 1 and 2, it was sales related for fleets, but the vb to vc Commodore was a badge moved and engine differences, xd was iron head to alloy head. Au made it to series's three as did bf wagon.
Mark behr has done a run down model by model of falcons and Thier development.
The barra engine was the issue - the US wanted a V6 because it was easier to package in the LHD with less issues regarding steering racks etc and Ford Aust stood firm on keeping the straight six. Thus the Falcon wasn't a viable export proposition unlike the Holden which was an easier package with the V config engines.
The rack would be easier in Lhd Actually as the exhaust us on the ( Aussie) driver’s side. Brake booster may have clashed with the inlet manifold however.
@@BennysCustomWorks - I was working with Ford at the time they were transitioning from the AU (or the Awfully Ugly as they called it) to the new BA and that's what the supervisor I dealt with told me rightly or wrongly. To be honest, I've only played around with holdens so I'm not that familiar with the Ford layout haha.
That AAA adapter would’ve been to replace a rechargeable (in my case) torch battery.
I've got a SAAS Mach II seat (well 2 actually) that I'm happy to donate to the cause. Bought them for a project but they're too short for my torso to be able to run harnesses.
Thanks mate, that’s very generous but Raceworks have some seats put aside for us. Throw them on marketplace place and recoup some $$$
Black Vinyl wrap the bonnet and the roof. Don't go mad painting i when you're only going to drive it sideways.
😂 nice.. another beater, 7k is pretty reasonable for a low spec car so it will be intresting to cost it out and compair to Gian's build🤔
You found more money in that car than I had this morning in my bank account
Not sure on sedans, on utes factory tow bar on b series come with 12 pin plugs
Should keep the steelies on it, total burnout spec and suits the roughness of the car
Aussie car extravaganza
Thanks for the video.
Was going to ask what a Falcon is in the US/CAD, but you answered the question. Is the Aus Ford Falcon close to the same size as the Ford Fusion?
Straight 6 / V6 is better then V8 or Straight 4. They can make almost as much power as a V8 and then can get better fuel economy. This just my thoughts and experience. Do not know if you can get a V8 or S4 in 3 liter up to 4 liter?
Don't thro vapes in bins as the battery can cors fires in rubbish trucks I experienced is
The Falcon's interior couldn't be any worse than the Torana that Al and Woody did on the Skid Factory. That was rat infested.
That ribbon is absolutely blue.
On the subject of safety, don't use one of these stupid jack rods I've been getting ads for. I would trust Harbor Freight jack stands well before one of those. The jack can still move and putting all the vehicle weight onto the jack's axle isn't a good idea. Jack, stands, and chocks are the way.
It might have possible to get the car here, but I doubt we would have got the Barra.
Surely the scrap value of the cables covers the cost of the car?
Sunroof is steel. Moon roof is glass. The full length versions are panoramic.
Moog might need to change up “First step jack up your car”.
I wholeheartedly disagree with you on the wheels, Benny. The Maxima wheels that came on AUDM S14s were ugly trash, I was actually happy when I bent one of mine hitting a brick on the freeway, and the local second-hand place had a set of 4 S15 wheels. They looked really good on my green S14 kouki!
In the US, you can have Multiple Postal Codes/Zip Codes in a single phone Area Code.
Well said mate.
That green color is turquoise. (Wind screen ribbon).
I cant work out why there was 2 jacks and a star brace in the boot 🤔 🚗💨💭 😂
You bought the cheapest car in mexico 😂🇲🇽
I so wish Ford had brought the BA over to the US instead of building the Fusion :(
So many blokes have lost their lives getting under jacked up cars. From inexperienced weekenders to experienced mechanics.
Very sad to hear Benny. Good reminder to everyone.
I live here in America (Florida) I would own an Austrailian Ford Falcon. I'm thinking 7.3 Liter Godzilla V 8 engine . Or Coyote swap with a 1000 hp rated ten speed auto with manual shift mode.
The fgx falcons had a factory supercharged version of the coyote called the Miami here in Aus. With 6 speed stick or 6speed zf auto
"it's got just over 200,000 kays on it" yeah but 190,000 of them we on the limiter...
TORX is the best fastening system, by far.
Bro that front door skin is very specific to BF mkII XR6. My parents have the same, and I’ve had to try source a replacement trim for the inevitable factory arm rest delete 😂
It would be hektik asf if you kept the sub in the back and bolted a whizzer with a dope light display.
Good paint and panel choices please
Ty, for doing that, reiterating of car repair safety.
Teach them at school at the last months of their school year by the police and emt and ambo.
Run a video of deaths to teenagers over the years and even ask a parent of a lost teenager.
Yes, l know that may be harsh, but you've got to use shock tactics.
I didn't catch what was wrong with your hood/bonnet. Is it just an unpainted issue or something because if so then just sand it a bit and throw some rattle cans at it... you said its getting partner stickers so why not get them to do it up like the drift car hood?! Budget win if you get someone else to pay for a solution :)
@52:00 only three more years before we can import a BA to the states... LHD swap time
Leave them rhd
I
spy an jzs171 inside the shop
Great work ben
Those door trims are factory bf xr cloth trim spec.
Kenzo racer style
Sooo much I want to say knowing the history of this vehicle and what’s fkd and why 😂😂 I loved this car once upon a time. Last time I drove it the sunroof did work both on tilt and open open, it also sealed you just had to set it in the right spot 😬
Alsooo not 100% sure but from memory that bonnet just has a black primer on it, it should be blue underneath. It’s also not the original bonnet, car got stolen at one point and had some shit knocked off it. Also did have minor hail damage.
Looks like AU ecu 😂😂😂
If you want some advice removing the front and rear windows with your fancy new windscreen tools hit me up, I might have nearly a decade ripping screens out of falcons and happen to own a fg so I guess im qualified to give you some tips
You can tell if someone works on their own cars if they like tire shine. Mechanics hate slimy tires.
scissor jack = widow maker
"fuck you and your stipis torx bits!"
Truer words have never been spoken by a mechanic! Said the same thing myself many times.
dam it
errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ITS A FRICKEN FORD they make good smashup derby cars ????
a real carbon fiber roof would of been awesome
Such a Canberra car 😂😂
When they found the vape 😂
Hey I'll fix that milwaukee charger if ya still got it ;) also that colour isn't green or blue it's Teal...
Sunroof pops up, moonroof fully opens, panoramic moonroof is basically the “whole” roof is glass and opens.
The old cars had steel sunroofs. Then they started putting glass panels in and called them moon roofs.
Does that mean this was both though, it tilts and opens fully
@@Tash590 because it can fully open, I would call it a moon roof. But that’s just my opinion 🤷
@@gonzoe123 some guy at Ford coined the phrase moon roof when they replaced the opaque steel roof with a tempered glass roof. Circa 1973.
Benny, can you track your time as well as cash outlay? I feel like the time element won't hold a candle to the amount of time you'll have spent
Yeah will track hours. So far about 20 hours in( in real time not where this ep is up to)
