gday all,
my name is Dan, 30y/o qualified mechanic, married with 2 kids. i have been playing with cars, bikes, and boats pretty much my whole life. I'm professionally experienced (factory trained) in Subaru, Suzuki, Lotus, Mitsubishi, Peugeot, and Holden. I'm highly experienced with performance Nissan's & Toyota's, and all sorts of road bikes.
I have never really tried my hand at building a 4x4, all my mates are into it, so I have jumped onto the bandwagon. It bought a 88' GQ to tow my boat, in good condition but not showroom. Did the usual, 2" lift, 2" body, notched rear qtrs, ARB winch bar, custom rear bar, 10,000lb winch, HID's, spotties, roof cage, desert cooler radiator, snorkel, rock sliders, petronix elec dissy, clutch booster, h/d clutch, Uniden UHF etc, single peice rear qtr glass, new lights all round, cleaned up the interior alot. etc etc.
But.. my real project is my 89' GQ LWB, LS1 converted, PWR stage 2 positive displacement supercharger @ 9psi, lunati cam, valve springs, roller rockers, etc etc, marks 4x4 adapter kit, marks headers but will change to pacemakers, custom clutch... much more to go, still need the fuel system and exhaust before she's up and running. should be on the road before Xmas if the RTA will approve the conversion (still conversing with qld transport)
and that's pretty much it
cheers
