Hi Everone, stumbled across this Forum whilst doing some research on the Patrol.
Decided to join due to the excellent knowledge and friendly environment.
Got a GU 2.8 wagon that's been sitting in the garage unused for ages due to a company car.
Losing company car thanks to FBT changes so time to give the old girl a bit of luv and a few upgrades.
Looking forward to doing a few mods and flapping the gums with everyone.

Welcome to the forum mate. Probably best to start a new thread in the Members Rides section. Outline what you have, what you want to do etc... Others will chip in with ideas or their thoughts if you need them. Good luck.
