Rosscos GQ Rejuvenation

[Plasnart]

Yeah would rather poly in black if i can find some. For this reason plus, they would look the least obvious and not sure if it would be true or not, but may transfer less vibration than ally. Hopefully i can get through to the supplier soon and he has some, if not can get some somewhere else soon . . .

Posted that up as it came straight to mind before I thought too much about body lifting. I've never done a body lift so is there non-metallic separation between body, chassis and the blocks anyway? If so then that'd be pretty ok as far negating galvanic reactions go, but poly even better.

[Plasnart]

I think from reading that anodic index the cast alloy would be anodic to the body/chassis so would be the block that would corrode, not the body/chassis. Perhaps someone more learned could confirm?

Picked up the new cab this arvo. . .



Sincerely hope this is the only time the GQ is towed behind a Cruiser. . . Had to drive it home with a bag on me head so no one saw me . . .



Engine bay is sweeeeeeeet.😊



SHINEY . . Gonna be a shame to drive it let alone bash it through the scrub. 😕

Also got in touch with the dude i got the body lift blocks from. Gonna swap the 50mm ones for some 70mm. . .

Yep had a little sticky beak and it looks awesome! Shiny engine and chassis time, showroom condition when assembled for photo shoots and then time to destroy all that hard work on a tight pinstripe track

I hate the Mag but the one thing i regret not chasing when i rebuilt the GQ was a Photo Shoot for the 4WD Action mag just for the memory and Souvenir. I wrecked it quickly and was not longer suitable but you should line up a photo shoot with them mate, they will be keen as bud. They very much like them when everything is spotless clean like yours will be.

I took mine down an overgrown track on the first day trip out and it hurt a lot!!! i felt every scratch in the paint.

Next trip out i crashed off a slippery track in the Snow and hit a tree and put a dent in the front quarter panel and the rest is history. It looked great.......once.

[MudRunnerTD]

you didn't paint the panels yeah? how is the colour match mate? You will have to give them a heavy Cut and Polish to match the shine. Engine bay is Glorious mate.

[Rossco]

Good idea about the mag, didn't think of that at all. Yeah same don't really like the mag but may as well see what happens. . Would be pretty cool.

All panels are getting painted in stages, droped the doors of today, will pick them up and swap with the bonnet & barn doors. Have to admit scratched front quarter in transit on the way home, will have to do that one again. . . Bugger. .
