So about 2 years ago I decided to finally get a GQ patrol. I had wanted one since driving one in 2009.
The original plan was to just learn how to fix it up and have an offroad toy. Nothing extreeme right? Oh how litle did i know how badly the bug would bite me.
This is the first pic i took of it after i got it.
Some things needed to be fixed and google and forum post helped me allot.
Standard stuff like glowplug change made me feel as manly as chuck norris...
Soon i realised i could not stop until i had changed this poor old gq into the car i felt it should be.. the bug had got me.
First it was redoing all lights with leds
Easy enough right?
Then i decided the color should be more “me”
So a full professional respray was next
After the paint all the interrior was sound insulated and recarpeted with a customized interrior
And the engine bay got a new intercooler, rockercover, catchcan and a bullydog propane injection
