In this video, I go over the last jobs before attempting to fire up the EH for the first time including finishing the fuel lines, modifying the fuel tank and conducting the final checks. Whilst it should start straight away, you just never know what is going to happen when you do an engine conversion!

This is the ninth episode in the build series that follows my journey as a backyard restorer, undertaking a 1964 EH Holden panel van restoration that holds sentimental value to me as it was originally started by my panelbeater Dad, who has passed.

Throughout this build series, I share what I am learning along the way and the mistakes I make in order to show you, that anyone can have a crack at this type of restoration (if they have the patience!). I am not a panelbeater or mechanic by any stretch, but love spending the time in the shed restoring these old classics.
