    MQ Partol Rebuild the rusty old girl

    well this might take a bit of time to get this onto the forum but not as long as it was to save the girl
    it all started back in 2000 for a 1982 mq patrol (just like the one my brother in-law had back in 82
    sitting on the side of the road for $1500.00 ono
    250 cross-flow 31 inch tires and 3 months rego so $1200 later i had my first 4wd
    FB_IMG_1453893173067.jpg
    it was about 2009 when i thought it was time to find out how much rust to old girl had
    well i got sick of wearing wet weather gear when it rained (inside to patrol lol)
    so into the man cave it went not to be seen for 8 months
    IMAG0144.jpg
    the rust was really bad really i should have scraped the poor thing
    so on the hunt for parts and panels , 5 more swb's were found , talk to one farmer and bingo got 4 shells
    strait up .
    so i had 99 percent of panels and bits i needed
    IMAG0153.jpg
    i wont put up to many pictures as the are shit loads
    but most of them i have uploaded to my gallery so fill free to have a look
    it does help to have work for my father and brother in-laws panel and panel shop
    because some thing like this project would have been quoted around the 15 k mark plus parts

    IMAG0215.jpg
    IMAG0212.jpg
    and then i painted it JAVA BROWN and i had a NEW POO TROL
    FB_IMG_1453893211500.jpgFB_IMG_1453893201699.jpg
    SO 35 INCH CLAWS AND A FRESH 250 CROSS FLOW we when bush
    FB_IMG_1453377150820.jpg
    FB_IMG_1453377144424.jpg
    it was the best day in 8 months that i had but man the clean up was up there
    IMAG0011.jpg
    the shit hit the fan when my wife seen how much mud was on the drive way
    and really got into me about the new paint job
    but 2 pack paint is pretty good not bullet proof but close
    so as a few years went past and looking and what was around it was time for some bigger wheels .
    some 15 x 12 rims and some 38 x 13 creepy crawlers
    IMAG0512-1-1.jpg
    i had already opened the front and rear guards up for the 35's but man 38's was going to be a bit more fun
    so you get some masking tape and tape in your lines and get ready to do some major work
    IMAG0514-1-1.jpg
    IMAG0518.jpg
    yep them 31's really fill out the guards
    IMAG0540.jpg
    rear 1/4 cuts had to be done
    all welded up and ready for some custom hand made steel bolt on flares
    IMAG0550.jpg
    just got to love it when some one (jared brother in-law) said you wont be able to do that
    IMAG0553.jpg
    so of i go and 62 hours later there ready for paint
    IMAG0636.jpg
    IMAG0637.jpg
    IMAG0639.jpg
    IMAG0661.jpg
    and then painted

    Don,
    thanks for the entertainment,,,,,,bloody brilliant job.
    I presume with those treads and donk, if you give it the beans in 2WD, it simply flips a backward loop?
    Cool,
    Col.
