Hello All,
I am now a proud owner of a 1998 GQ St Ute,
i bought this as a project, as you can see the vehicle is in average condition.
the factory TD42 engine is running rough, but for $3000 I am definitely not complaining. no rust thankfully.
Stay tuned as i attempt to build this car up myself over the coming year with as little assistance as possible.
Only problem where to start?
This forum is awesome with so many build threads and ideas that my brain is in overdrive.
Needs a wash.
Looks like a great unit to base a build on. No rust and pretty straight.
2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder
And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.

She needs a wash alright haha,
I should've stated my very first plan is to strip and thoroughly clean the entire vehicle inside and out.
As i have a car, this will remain registered and off the road while i gut it and build it up.
you don't see too many non white GQ Utes, the old man has a qjote one about a 94/95 but unfortunately heaps of rust from being by the ocean all its life and always outdoors

Hi Gubigfish,
i just did the search through the nissan colours code. it's brown, i thought was a kinda gold, nonetheless i actually like the colour and am going to get it re spray back to original.
i am glad this has only really been a Kimberley farm/town ute,
