The household finance manager says I can buy a GQ

[Blownlc]

So the wife say's to me today. "Something tells me that when your long service leave finishes, you going to go back to work and tell your boss what you really think! So I think you should spend the money from the sale of the stagea on another car. Because you might need one for your new job"

"Sorry love, say that again!!!" :bananarock:

So Stuey's in the market for a GQ!

I only have 5K to spend but it should be enough to get me something half decent. So If any of you lads see anything give me a hola. I'm after a lifted LWB with muddies, snorkel, cb, front bar and reg as a minimum. Senior management will have me skidding in shit if I buy a rig and then tell her that I want to go out and spend another couple of G's on fruit.

I rang the fella about this one today but it had already been sold. It was probably the best for sale at the moment given the price.

Thanks in advance lads (and Ladettes)!

Speak to Winnie! He just bought a Diesel and has a petrol he is just about to sell! Picked it up on the weekend.

I have know idea how much he is hoping for though mate but certainly worth asking.

[threedogs]

Sounds like a good plan to me, a win win kinda thing

[Blownlc]

I just pm'd him. Are you referring the the gq in his avatar?

[Winnie]

Just replied to your PM. Also just noticed you are in Werribee, that's where I bought my new Patrol from!

[Blownlc]

Small world ey! Where a abouts in werribee did you pic it up from? Sent replied to your pm to.

[Winnie]

He is an auto electrician there. Can't remember the street name?

[Blownlc]

I'm a little confused! Is the rig in the pm you sent the one for sale? or the green over silver? Or is it the same rig re-sprayed?

[BigRAWesty]

Welcome mate. Good to hear you got some cash. Enjoy the hunt

Thanks Kallen, but I get the feeling its going to be more frustrating than anything. Not having quite enough dosh to play with, and not being quick enough to snap up any bargains. Just gonna have to be on the prowl regularly.

Definitely NOT the Green over Silver. he bought that last weekend and paid a LOT more than your budget. Its a TD42 Turbo Diesel which go for a premium (more than double your number)

For your budget your destined to buy a TB42 mate (Petrol and maybe LPG) you should find a reasonable one for that coin but you will be in the bottom half of the market sorry. At least your in the market though! ;)

Nisshead just picked up a doozy for $3k a month ago. Gem.

[Blownlc]

Im fully aware that Im at the bottom of the market, believe me. Thanks for reminding me though! : (

This is why I'm confused:

The rig in this thread is Green and Silver and it says TB42E. Chris pm'd me last night with an image of a Black over Silver gq and said that the bar on this will be the one on TB42.

I was also advised to view the above thread to see all the modes that been done. He purchased the vehicle Oct 2011, and you mentioned he only recently brought the TD42, so I'm sure you can understand why I'm a little confused.

[Winnie]

I see what you mean. That picture is my new car, I took the bar off that and put it on the old one.

[Blownlc]

Thats what I thought. So the Black over Silver is the new TD42?

[MudRunnerTD]

It's Winnie's Fault!! Damn you to hell Winnie! you've confused the man! Me Too!

[Bob]

You are not alone mate. I have read about three threads on this and I cant for the life of me work out what colour is his new Patrol.

According to his signature it is Green over Silver but in one of his Posts it shows Black over Silver.

Can you enlighten an old Man Winnie LOL

[Winnie]

The new one is green over silver... But it's a really really dark green. Looks black in photos.

Hahahahahahahahahaha it looks black even in real life! Only in sunlight you can tell it's green.

[Clunk]

Hahahahahahahahahaha it looks black even in real life! Only in sunlight you can tell it's green.

Maybe you should change your signature to " very very dark green almost black over silver" ;)

Don't stroke it, TAP it!!!!.....

[Winnie]

I think that would confuse people.

[Clunk]

I think that would confuse people.

No more than you have already!!!!! Lmao

Don't stroke it, TAP it!!!!.....

[Blownlc]

Hehe. I'm with you clunk. Black over [B]Silver exept in the sun then it's [B]Green over Silver

[Blownlc]

What the hell does that say!!!!!! Stupid quick reply! :blowup:

Whatever! You get the idea.

[MudRunnerTD]

What do you want to change it too? Just type it in the thread and I will change it mate.

[Blownlc]

*says instead of say.

Sorry for being anal. But it's annoying me. Thanks mate!

[Blownlc]

Hey Winnie just found the TD you bought on mud rhino. Looks good man!

[Winnie]

Yeah that's where I bought it from! MudRunnerTD sent me the link and it was mine the next weekend.

[Blownlc]

Good news boys!! Picked up a my new rig today.

'89 GQ Blue over silver (thats BLUE over silver not blue in the sun over silver!) :tease:
TB42
3" lift
HD Panhard rod
TJM winch bar
Spotties
CB
3/4 roof rack
Snorkel
Maxxis Bighorns (35's) 50%
5 BFG AT's (31's) 60%

The Bad-
Rocker cover gasket leaking (easy job)
Swivel seals leaking (not as easy, but doable)
Petrol tank leaking at welds on mounting brackets. Its and after market 50lt stainless tank. Only noticed it was leaking when I got home after I had filled it right up. The young fella told me it was seeping a little but I think he might have been under exagerating a tad.

Anyway I'm pretty happy with it considering the price started at $5,500 and ended with me handing over $3,900.

If any one has an old sub tank (petrol) let me know if you want to sell it.

I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

[MudRunnerTD]

Awesome!

Sub tanks come up on ebay all teh time for a GQ. keep an eye there.

The swivel hub leak will be an inner axle seal and not that bad a job. just dirty. Worth considering doing a full overhaul though if you dont have a history. Bigger job.

Congrats mate

[Irvs]

Sounds like a good score mate. Ive got a 50 litre that came with my mav, $50 and its yours. In Parkdale, VIC

Patrolapart has a swivel hub rebuild kit for $185 (for both hubs) I reckon i'll just do the whole lot for piece of mind.

Irvs: Sound great! I'll pm you my number, maybe I could pick it up tomorrow if your not busy?
