Getting back on track
Hi all, just wanted to say g'day. Long time lurker, first time to post. I got my GQ TB42 about 7 years ago off a fella that couldn't pay me for work I'd done for him. Pleasing to the eye but I quickly found out it had cooling issues which were not easily solved. It then had injector issues (dual fuel) so it was parked up for about a year until I had the patience to dive back in. Turned out the cooling problem was head related which drove me to give the Barra swap a go. It's just about done and planning to drive Cairns to Tasmania the long way round as soon as I'm confident I haven't missed anything in the swap.
Glad to be back (almost) in this ol beauty. Have always had a soft spot for the GQ even through all the face palms and headaches this one has provided.
I'm not huge on taking pics but will upload a few for anyone who may be keen to see.
Thanks for providing a bloody handy page to learn from, looking forward to joining the conversations.
Cheers, Pat

Gday Schwampy welcome to the forum! Yes please post some pics of the Barra beast!
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??
