Ah Well done i like white hahahahahahahah

[Clunk]

Nice one mate..... looks good, as long as the body is straight and good, doesn't matter about the paint......... and I have to agree about the white, bloody fantastic colour for a GQ I reckon lol

[AB]

Does look pretty neat mate, shame about the paint job though...Go the white too, love the white GQ's!

[luvpsi]

yeah the paint will come in time least of my worries at the moment got some mechanical issues to sort out then ill remove some of the little dents and paint her

[Rosco]

GQ's look good in any colour.

[nissannewby]

Yeah they do but there are to many white ones :p there are some nice colours getting around on some of ford and holdens nowadays could use them as inspiration and have something that stands out in the crowd

[luvpsi]

yeah but its a troll they get hammered in bush etc i rather just paint it white as white is cheaper and easier to cover up any damage

[luvpsi]

hey guys fitted the 33/12.5 maxxis bighorns today and some new rims here are some pics now all she needs is a 2 inch lift and some accessories

[Tweakedoffroad]

Hey mate great looking rig keep the build pics comeing

[luvpsi]

fitting the fender flares today to keep the authoroties off my tail and hopefully next week i can fit the swivel hub seals as the inner axle seals are leaking and are pretty bad. just need to get some diff filler plugs as the prev owner rounded them off so he welded a bolt to them to undo them but just left the weld there and no bolt

What did the flares cost?

[nissannewby]

I paid about $80 for 3 metres of it from clark rubber thats 2" stuff then just screwed in place road runner offroad do a kit which comes with the flare material wire to stiffen it and screws for around 90 a pair.

[luvpsi]

hey guys have done a few things to the troll in last month

i have fitted a set of extractors and a 2.5" exhaust system and now a icom ic-400pro uhf. i fitted the UHF on the dash as on the tranny tunnel the mrs or someone will knock it about and on my side being tall it will annoy me. i just need to work out how to use all features on it as the manual seems to make no sense to me being a newbie to it all and all.

Nice work mate, looks as as much as the previous owner tried to kill it, you've revived the ole girl. S'pose the next step is owning a MQ hahahaha

[luvpsi]

[aussiemale]

LOL, Which is why I'm going to paint my MQ in camo colours..mainly to hide the dents, scrapes and bashes

[luvpsi]

haha yeah im going to paint it just plain white

[aussiemale]

White will work...if you don't like it..just go off-road for 1 min.. LOL
