    My GQ ute

    Hi everyone

    Here is a few pics of my ute. It's a 96 GQ coil cab with a turboed TD42 Full 3' exhaust 2' lift long range lanks (220L) recaro seats custom (unfinished) center console

    I made the centre console out of expander foam. it still needs to be resin coated. I took the seats out and lined the floor with blact plastic made a crude mould out of cardcoard and poured the foam in, then shaped it.


    Hope you like it.More pics coming soon

    Cheers
    Ben

    the console looks like a painful job 2 do, but I do love the idea of using expander foam, what a top idea, I would never of though of that 1.

    Don't worrry about what some people think, Ben (lol).

    I eat, sleep and breathe utes. GQ's and GU's. A Nissan ute is a Nissan ute .

    I'm still waiting - and I emphasise, STILL WAITING, for Admin to consider our request for a ute section on this Forum. LOL

    I must emphasise that I am not trying to cause a rebellion in the ranks, or make waves,
    but come on man, how can you go past a GQtey or a GUtey, without going
    . ???? lololololololol

    The most painful part is the hot glue lol But I'm thinking of trying again I'll do a thin pour over the transmission tunnel to get the shape then pour flat panels and build it like something from ikea instead of 2 big pours, it left a air gap and you can see in the last photo where it broke away
