In this episode of Aussie Garage, we visit Art Tech Suspension in Melbourne to meet Arthur and check out his beautiful 1965 Ford Mustang convertible.

This Mustang is a genuine factory triple black California car. It is finished in Raven Black with a black interior and black convertible roof, giving it a timeless classic look.

While the body and interior have been kept mostly original, the car has been upgraded where it matters. The suspension, brakes, engine, transmission and differential have all been improved to make it more reliable and enjoyable to drive.

A Classic Mustang Built to Enjoy

Under the bonnet is a classic 289 Windsor V8.

The engine has been upgraded with improved heads, a camshaft, manifold and a Holley 600 carburettor. It is not a wild race car, but a well-sorted cruiser built to be enjoyed on the road.

With the roof down and the V8 running, this is exactly what classic Mustang motoring is all about.

Inside Art Tech Suspension

Arthur has almost 40 years of experience in steering and suspension.

Through Art Tech Suspension, he works on classic cars, muscle cars, drag cars and modern vehicles. His focus is on helping owners get their cars sitting, steering and handling the way they should.

An Amazing Automotive Man Cave

Arthur also shows us through his impressive workshop and man cave.

The place is packed with automotive memorabilia, including vintage service station items, model cars, signs, collectables and an old telephone box.

One of the standout pieces is a penny-farthing bicycle dating back to the 1880s, adding even more history and character to the workshop.

Watch the Full Episode

A huge thank you to Arthur for welcoming Aussie Garage into Art Tech Suspension and sharing his Mustang, workshop and story with us.

The post Car Events for JULY 2026 in WA appeared first on Australia's Home of Classic Cars, Muscle Cars & Automotive Events.

The atmosphere inside Van World at Meguiar’s MotorEx 2026 was pure nostalgia, horsepower, and creativity. From beautifully restored Ford Sundowners and classic panel vans to custom Escorts, blown V8 builds, and retro murals, this section of the show delivered some of the most unique vehicles we’ve seen in years.

In this latest episode from Aussie Garage TV, we take you through an incredible collection of rare Aussie vans and street machines that celebrate the golden era of Australian car culture. Whether you grew up around panel vans in the 70s and 80s or simply appreciate old-school craftsmanship, Van World at MotorEx 2026 was packed with inspiration.

Rare Ford Sundowners and Aussie Panel Vans

One of the standout highlights from Van World was the incredible lineup of rare Ford panel vans and Sundowners. These iconic Aussie vehicles represent a huge part of Australian automotive history and continue to attract enthusiasts from all over the country.

We spotted:

• Beautifully restored Ford Sundowners
• XC and XF Falcon panel vans
• Rare factory-option builds
• Original survivor vans
• Period-correct street machine restorations
• Unique one-of-one combinations

Many of these vans featured factory styling mixed with custom touches that perfectly captured the spirit of the era. The attention to detail was next level, from polished trim and retro wheels through to immaculate paintwork and authentic interiors.

Wild Engine Bays and Custom Fabrication

Van World wasn’t just about nostalgia — it was also home to some seriously tough performance builds. We checked out a variety of supercharged Cleveland and Windsor-powered setups that blended old-school style with modern engineering.

Some of the standout features included:

• Supercharged Cleveland V8 conversions
• Windsor-powered custom vans
• Detailed engine bays
• Custom metal fabrication
• Shaved bodywork
• Smoothed firewall conversions
• Retro airbrushed graphics
• High-end suspension and wheel packages

The quality of fabrication across these builds was incredible. Every vehicle had its own personality, with owners clearly pouring years of passion, time, and effort into creating something unique.

Classic Ford Escorts and Street Machine Styling

Among the vans were several custom Ford Escorts and compact street machines that perfectly matched the retro atmosphere of the event. These smaller builds brought serious character, combining old-school styling with tough drivetrains and detailed interiors.

Many featured:

• Period-correct paint schemes
• Retro mag wheels
• Custom upholstery
• Vintage-inspired interiors
• Chrome detailing
• Old-school performance upgrades

It’s builds like these that remind everyone why classic Aussie car culture remains so strong today.

The Nostalgia Factor Was Massive

Walking through Van World felt like stepping back into the golden era of Australian street machining. The murals, shag-pile interiors, custom stereos, murals, pinstriping, and retro accessories instantly transported enthusiasts back to the 70s and 80s.

This display wasn’t just about showing cars — it celebrated a lifestyle and a culture that shaped generations of Aussie motoring enthusiasts.

For many visitors, these vans brought back memories of:

• Weekend car meets
• Summer cruising
• Beach runs
• Street machine magazines
• Van culture events
• Backyard builds and home garages

The passion surrounding these vehicles is still incredibly strong, and MotorEx 2026 proved that Aussie van culture is far from forgotten.

Aussie Garage Covers the Best of MotorEx 2026

At Aussie Garage, we love showcasing the diversity of Australian car culture, and Van World was one of the most unique sections of the entire event. From survivor classics to outrageous custom builds, every vehicle had a story worth telling.

The post MotorEx 2026 Van World – Rare Ford Sundowners, Custom Panel Vans & Classic Aussie Van Culture appeared first on Australia's Home of Classic Cars, Muscle Cars & Automotive Events.

Cars on the Green Albany 2026 was absolutely packed with classic Aussie muscle, rare Ford Falcons, Holden legends and custom builds from across Western Australia. In this episode of Aussie Garage TV, we make the five-hour road trip south of Perth to Albany, WA to check out one of the best classic car events in the southwest. With a massive swap meet, show and shine, and heaps of owner interviews, this event delivered non-stop automotive gold for anyone into classic cars, restorations, rare finds and proper Aussie car culture.

From the moment we rolled into the showgrounds, it was clear this wasn’t just another car meet. Rows of beautifully restored classics sat alongside survivor cars, patina builds and wild customs. The variety on display showed just how strong the classic car scene is in Western Australia, with everything from rare matching-numbers muscle cars to hand-built off-road tourers that have travelled thousands of kilometres across the country.

Rare Ford Falcons and Matching Numbers Aussie Muscle

One of the standout cars of the day was a rare XW GT Falcon showing just 43,000 original miles. With matching numbers, a 3.1 diff ratio and a fascinating backstory, this car is believed to possibly be an ex-police vehicle with unique delete options, making it an incredible piece of Australian motoring history. Seeing such a low-mileage GT Falcon in the flesh is rare enough, but hearing the owner talk through the car’s history and unique factory details made it even more special.

Alongside the XW GT was a stunning XA Hardtop running a 302 V8, turning heads with its clean presentation and classic muscle stance. We also checked out an original XK Falcon from October 1960 with just 40,000 miles on the clock, a true survivor that highlights just how well some of these early Australian Fords have been preserved. Adding to the Ford lineup was a beautifully restored 1965–66 Mustang 289, complete with hand controls, showing how classic car builds can be customised for accessibility while still keeping period-correct style.

Wild Custom Builds and Off-Road Rat Rod Tourers

One of the wildest builds at Cars on the Green Albany 2026 was a 1948 Ford F5 pickup that stopped just about everyone in their tracks. This isn’t your typical show truck – it’s a fully engineered, road-legal off-road rat rod tourer built to travel Australia. Running Ford Maverick underpinnings, a TD42 turbo diesel, coil spring suspension, dual winches, solar setup and a GQ Patrol dash, this beast has been driven around the country towing a 20-foot caravan. It’s the perfect example of Australian ingenuity, blending classic styling with hardcore touring capability and real-world usability.

Holden Legends, Panel Vans and Street Machines

The Holden lineup was just as impressive, with two genuine Sandman panel vans drawing crowds, along with a clean HK Premier, a tough LC Torana running a 355 stroker, Monaros, Kingswoods and a WB One Tonner. Modern Aussie muscle was also well represented, with XR8 utes and Boss 290-powered builds sitting alongside classic Holden and Ford street machines. Add in LandCruisers, GDS builds, Falcon utes and plenty more, and the diversity of vehicles on display made this one of the most well-rounded car shows in regional WA.

Swap Meet Finds and Owner Interviews

Cars on the Green isn’t just about the cars on display – the swap meet is a huge part of what makes this event special. From hard-to-find parts to nostalgic memorabilia, the swap meet is a goldmine for anyone building or restoring classic cars. We also spent time chatting with owners, hearing the stories behind their builds, the challenges they’ve faced restoring rare vehicles, and the journeys they’ve taken to keep these classics on the road. These personal stories are what really bring car culture to life and make events like this more than just a static show and shine.

Celebrating WA Car Culture

This event perfectly captures what Aussie car culture is all about – community, craftsmanship and passion. The five-hour drive south of Perth is well worth it for a show like Cars on the Green Albany, which continues to grow as one of the standout classic car events in Western Australia. Whether you’re into rare barn finds, matching numbers restorations, swap meets, show cars or wild custom builds, this event has something for everyone.

If you love classic Ford and Holden muscle cars, Aussie car events, project builds, owner interviews and swap meets, this episode is right up your alley.

The post Genuine XW GT Falcon Survivor! appeared first on Australia's Home of Classic Cars, Muscle Cars & Automotive Events.

Based in Adelaide, Jay’s approach to car culture is refreshingly grassroots. He doesn’t chase glossy, corporate-backed productions — he celebrates the soul of the build, the friends that gather to help, and the stories that unfold when you get your hands dirty. Whether it’s slamming old Skylines with custom wheels or resurrecting forgotten VL Commodores into rotary-powered beasts, Jay’s content captures the spirit of real car culture.

Low Standards YouTube: Authentic Builds & Workshop Shenanigans

The phrase low in stance and low in standards isn’t just a tagline — it’s Jay’s philosophy. On his YouTube channel Low Standards, Jay showcases everything from workshop tours, engine swaps, modified import projects, to welding and fabrication sessions that keep viewers entertained and inspired. The LOW STANDARDS WORKSHOP TOUR video (ID: UjeZdBHV8yU) is a standout example, giving fans a firsthand look at Jay’s garage, his current projects, and his signature blend of practical know-how and humour.

Fast-paced and full of personality, the workshop tour beautifully highlights Jay’s hands-on approach, the calibre of custom builds he’s known for, and how he transforms everyday cars into performance-ready machines with character. It’s not just about horsepower — it’s a celebration of the garage-built lifestyle that resonates with car lovers everywhere.

The Man Behind the Wrenches

Jay’s journey into the automotive world started long before YouTube. Growing up with limited resources, he taught himself how to fix, build, and modify vehicles using whatever he could find — from lawnmowers to Datsuns — laying the foundation for the DIY ethos he carries today.

This authentic background is what connects Jay with his audience: he’s not a celebrity mechanic — he’s a regular bloke with a camera and a workshop full of projects. His Rotary VL Commodore build — featuring a powerful quad-rotor engine and slammed stance — became a viral favourite after appearing at Summernats and on his channel.

Growing Community & YouTube Success

Since its launch, the Low Standards YouTube channel has steadily grown into a thriving community hub for fans of custom cars, rust-busting restorations, and creative builds. With active social media channels and regular giveaways — including cars and merch — Jay keeps engagement high and his audience coming back for more.

Jay’s relatable personality, honesty about the trials of car building, and unwavering enthusiasm make Low Standards more than just a YouTube channel — it’s a rallying point for people who love cars for what they are, not what they could be with a big budget.

Why Fans Tune In

Genuine workshop content — no staged drama, just real builds and banter.
Innovative projects — from diesel Skyline swaps to quad-rotor Commodores.
Car culture authenticity — showcasing Australian car passion with attitude.
Engaging community — giveaways, meetups and merch keep viewers connected.

Keywords for SEO: Low Standards YouTube, Jay from Low Standards, workshop tour, custom car builds, rotary VL Commodore, Nissan Skyline, Adelaide car culture, automotive YouTube channel, DIY car builds, engine swaps, slammed cars.

The post Meet Jay behind Low Standard YouTube appeared first on Australia's Home of Classic Cars, Muscle Cars & Automotive Events.

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.

The post What’s on February 2026 for WA Car Events. appeared first on Australia's Home of Classic Cars, Muscle Cars & Automotive Events.

Andrew’s story is far more than just ownership. His family played a genuine role in the Holden journey, with hands-on involvement in fibreglass moulds, injector moulding, and component development that supported some of Holden’s most legendary vehicles. One standout connection is the moulding work for Holden Torana SLR5000 flares, linking directly to the golden era of HDT Racing and the legacy of Peter Brock. These behind-the-scenes roles are often untold, yet they are critical chapters in Australia’s racing and road car history.

The spotlight vehicles tell their own stories. Andrew’s FX Holden Ute represents the very foundation of Holden’s success — simple, hardworking, and unmistakably Australian. As one of the earliest Holden-based utilities, the FX helped shape the ute culture that Australia is now famous for. Alongside it sits his father’s beautifully presented EK Holden Ute, showcasing the evolution of styling, comfort, and engineering as Holden refined its designs for a growing market.

Beyond the utes, the interview explores broader influences that shaped Australian motoring. From discussions around Holden pattern designers and factory development processes to iconic concepts like the Holden Hurricane Concept Car, Andrew shares insight into how bold ideas and racing technology filtered into production vehicles. The conversation even touches on cross-brand interests, including the family’s appreciation for vehicles like the F100 Ford Pick Up Truck, highlighting how passion for cars often transcends brand loyalty.

Filmed in Melbourne, this Aussie Garage Interview is a tribute to the people behind the cars — the designers, mould makers, racers, and families who helped build Australia’s automotive identity. Andrew’s FX and EK Holden Utes are not just restored classics; they are rolling pieces of history that reflect decades of dedication to the Holden name.

If you’re passionate about Holden, HDT Racing, classic Australian vehicles, and the stories that shaped them, this episode is a must-watch. It’s an authentic reminder of why Holden continues to hold such a powerful place in the hearts of enthusiasts across Australia.

The post Holden Heritage and Andrew’s Family Story appeared first on Australia's Home of Classic Cars, Muscle Cars & Automotive Events.

From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was pure Mustang passion. The car park and surrounding streets were packed with everything from concours-level classics to tough street-driven builds, creating a walk-through display that perfectly captured the evolution of the Ford Mustang. For Aussie Garage, it was the perfect setting to showcase the depth of Mustang culture in Australia while celebrating a business that has become a cornerstone of the local scene.

The variety on display was next level. Early K-Code Mustangs sat proudly alongside Shelby GT350s and GT500s, while rare and highly sought-after models like the Boss 302 and Mach 1 drew constant crowds. Fastbacks and convertibles showcased timeless American muscle styling, while late-model Mustangs powered by modern Coyote engines proved that the Mustang legacy is still very much alive and evolving.

What made this event stand out wasn’t just the cars — it was the people. Mustang owners travelled from all over Perth and regional WA to be part of the celebration, swapping stories, comparing builds, and appreciating the shared love of the Ford Mustang. Events like this highlight why Aussie car culture continues to thrive, with generations of enthusiasts united by horsepower, heritage, and craftsmanship.

At the heart of it all is Paul’s shop, American Auto Parts – Mr Mustang, a name synonymous with Mustangs in Western Australia. For 55 years, Mr Mustang has supported owners with parts, knowledge, and genuine passion for the brand. This customer appreciation day was a true reflection of that legacy — not just a show, but a thank-you to the community that has supported them for decades.

Aussie Garage was proud to be on the ground, capturing interviews, filming rare builds, and soaking up the energy from the heart of the event. Whether it was a perfectly restored classic or a modern performance monster, every Mustang had a story, and every owner had pride in sharing it.

If you’re a fan of Mustang, Ford Mustang history, and authentic Australian car events, this celebration was one for the books.
