    G,Day Macca here just bought a gq swb

    Hi all
    Ive come over to the dark side
    or I am now walking in the light


    I picked up my new to me (and my wife) GQ SWB today
    it is just over 450K km young
    needs a bit of panel work and rust inhibitor
    has the td42 engine which has just had the rings,main bearings and injectors done on
    it made the drive home . Bonus
    now just a process of cleaning the crap off it and tidy it up

    this is the pic from the ad the guy had



    so anyway thats me i will probably ask some supid questions
    like are there any drive train differences between a swb and a lwb (apart from tailshafts)
    and when did the doors change to ones without the quarter window and are they interchangable


    Cheers Macca

    Welcome to the forum Macca.
    Feel free to ask any questions you want, there are no stupid questions.

    The doors are interchangeble and I think they changed in about 1992.

    Welcome Macca. I hope you and your Wife get a great deal of enjoyment out of your SWB. As you can see from the reply by YNOT no questions are stupid and we all wish to help one and other.
    Enjoy our Forum
