Hey all.
Husband and I purchased our GQ off of my father. Been in my family for 20+ years. Thought it was a good buy until we started cleaning it up. My dad is abit of a bush mechanic.. Anyway we found alot of rust like drivers side floor was almost extinct. Got all that fixed thinking it was all sweet... Until we started doing stuff in engine bay and found more around the firewall. Found another gq roller with the plan to swap everything over eventually. So we were getting the roller sorted out before the swap. Then one night we had our running gq stolen from our place. It was found a few days later but the thieves made a mess of her. Which in turn hastened our swap. We got the swap done in less than 2 months. Alot of late nights were involved. Here is how she stands now. Looks good, goes well Td42+t. Still have a few things to do before she is properly finished but we are just glad we have her back on the road.
When we first got her
