Gday Everyone!
Been looking throughout the site for some time as we have been wanting a Patrol for a while, especially since we borrowed the brother in laws GU for family holidays to Rainbow Beach @ New years, but now finally, we've become members and FINALLY looks like we are getting our butts into a GQ in the next few days give or take!
We have put a deposit down on a 1990 GQ ST, 4.2 N/A Diesel 5 speed, Black on silver paint, cloth interior 7 seater, new 31's on white sunnies.
Would of taken delivery already, but during a test drive, a really bad vibration was happening between 90-110kmh!
It wasn't tyres, it felt like another form of vibration or harmonic so the car yard needs to fix this and a couple of other minor things, but all in all she was a nice truck and even my brother in law (whom is a mechanic) was impressed with its condition, a lot better than his GQ off road challange truck we are building.
For peace of mind, we will also be getting a pre purchase written report done by a 3rd party once the repairs are done, just in case there is something we have missed.....
So im happy to be here and looking forward to be apart of the Forum.
Regards
Dave & Gemma
