From the outset, this interview is packed with energy. Byron shares how his YouTube journey began, the realities of building cars while juggling work, family, and finances, and why shed-built projects mean so much to everyday enthusiasts. We dive into the growth of the Western Australian automotive YouTube community, exploring how collaborations between creators help build momentum, support one another, and keep the scene genuine rather than competitive.

One of the standout discussions centres around Byron’s passion for hands-on projects, including HG Brougham builds, project car chaos, and the constant challenge of keeping multiple builds alive without going broke. It’s a reality many Aussie car builders know all too well — limited budgets, big dreams, and long nights in the shed. Byron’s honesty makes this episode relatable whether you’re restoring a classic, building a burnout car, or just dreaming about your next project.

The conversation also shifts gears into one of the wildest sides of Australian motorsport — demolition derbies. Byron shares his experiences at events across WA, including Mount Barker, Motorplex, Bunbury and beyond, giving listeners an inside look at the madness, preparation, and adrenaline that comes with smashing cars for crowd entertainment. It’s raw, loud, and unapologetically Aussie — just the way we like it.

But this episode isn’t just about cars. A powerful part of the podcast focuses on the serious side of life — putting family first, checking in on your mates, and openly talking about mental health. Byron’s perspective highlights how the car community can be more than just machines; it can be a support network, a creative outlet, and a place where people look out for one another.

This AGTV Podcast episode perfectly reflects what Aussie Garage Interviews are all about: real people, real stories, and real passion for cars and culture. Whether you’re into shed builds, YouTube collaborations, WA car events, or just enjoy a good yarn, this episode delivers laughs, insight, and genuine connection.

If you’re passionate about Australian car culture, grassroots builds, and the people behind the scenes, AGTV Podcast Episode 2 – Down the Shed with Byron is a must-watch.

Interview with Bad Q Garage

In this episode, we sit down with Dave from @BadQGarage, who has been flat out covering car events all across WA. Between filming, editing, and attending shows, it’s impossible to get to everything – but he’s been doing an awesome job bringing the WA car scene to life on his channel.

Dave also gave us some updates on his car projects:

• Bad Q Holden Monaro GTS Coupe – his pride and joy.
• Bad J HJ Holden Premier Sedan – finished in metallic purple with bright yellow accents on the diff, fuel tank, and engine bay, giving it a “Violet Crumble” look.
• VN Holden Calais & VR Holden Commodore – recent additions to his growing collection, made easier thanks to his new car trailer (which might be enabling his addiction – but aren’t we all the same?).

Dave also spoke about his international car spotting, with fascinating finds in Thailand, including VL Holden Calais, HQ Holden Monaro GTS, and even a blown HQ Holden Sedan. His passion for researching the Holden legacy in Asia adds a unique perspective to his channel.

Aussie Garage Updates – VU for U Revival Project

On the Aussie Garage side, we’ve been busy with several projects, but the biggest one right now is the VU for U Revival. This is a VU Holden Commodore Ute that was originally a Street Machine Giveaway Car at Summernats 17 in 2004.

We’re reviving this iconic ute for its current owner, who is battling stage 4 terminal cancer. Our mission is to get the car running and driving so he can enjoy it one last time before it’s sold to help fund medical costs. If enough funds remain, he hopes to buy a steel bumper classic car to enjoy until he no longer can.

This project is deeply personal and a reminder to all of us: life is short – make the most of it, and always get regular check-ups if something doesn’t feel right.

New Aussie Garage Merchandise

We’ve got loads of new car merchandise available now on the Aussie Garage Store, including official Ford Licensed Products, Holden Licensed Products, and exclusive Aussie Garage designs. From car caps, T-shirts, and hoodies to stubby holders, there’s something for every enthusiast.

Got an idea for merch? If there’s a car you’d love to see on a shirt or hoodie, email us at info@aussiegaragetv.com.au – we’d love to make it happen.
