The start of someting cool... my mq shorty build thread !

[Finly Owner]

im in hervey bay sunny qld and got lucky both are sd33's which is handy as the motor in the shorty is a smoke machine, so its a motor and box swap, yay for 5 speed and oddly enough the rust isnt as bad as it appeaers , its never seen the beach just sat under a bloody gum tree for a few years... even the ac works!

Cool Rigs. absolutely love the old girls especially Diesels! Hervey Bay about 4hrs from me.
