The Wife and I picked up a 94 Diesel GQ Wagon a week ago so we could do some 4x4ing and camping with the little tacker. We knew the owner and she bought it brand new and used it to tow horse floats around, with the occasional 4x4 trek.

Interior has seen better days, but is easily cleaned, fixed or replaced. It's only done 220,000kms with no oil leaks in sight. Only modification to date is a dual battery set up and I have no intentions of doing serious 4x4ing, so no suspension lifts, etc in the near future.

I had a crack at polishing the front bar this afternoon, took a lot of elbow grease but made a huge difference... Before and after below;

Hi mate, Welcome to the forum. Which polish did you use?

Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish

Took me nearly 3 hours... I hope not to have to do that again anytime soon.
