G'day you lot.
I've been quietly gathering valuable info from here for a couple of years now. Time for an intro!
I'm a proud owner of a 94 TB42e mighty Q that I bought from a good mate of mine a few years back. Said mate did me a good deal on the ole girl. She's very neat and was very, VERY standard when I got her. Now she had been a second car for the previous owner and basically only made an appearance on Australia day at the beach each year.
Anyway Stewie (afore mentioned mate) is a bloody legend, however not really very mechanically minded and vehicle love, care and maintenance are foreign subjects. Since I've had her I have done all the standard stuff plugs, leads, coil etc. I've also cut out the factory GQ roof/gutter rust on the passenger side (the only rust she had), wet sanded and polished her up, replaced the factory suspension with a 2 inch lift, replaced a myriad of various bushings, replaced the tired old cooling system including the water pump, rad, thermostat and all hoses. Almost everything I've done has been a case of replacing tired parts before they became an issue.
Apart from the lift the car is fairly standard and thats how I plan to keep her.
Anyhow, I've picked up some awesome tips and insight from everyone here over time and will no doubt continue to do so.
Thanks Champions 😎🤘
