Well ive been here a few months now and things are rooling along quite well with my Q so i thought i wouold do a thread about me and the ride..
Its a 91 GQ sporting the famous TD42 NA motor with the 5speed manual on 15x7 sunnies (now painted black).
Life started as a demo car in adelaide. And once my olds cought wind they were expecting no.3 they thought they betta upgrade. The salesman had it sold to us kids before the test drive stared.. lol
So that was it, only 400Km's on the clock my parents bought it and we headed back to the farm.
It was fitted with some custom alloy sidesteps to suit the wide flares and some ralley 1000 spotties to pick them roos a bit further down the road..
Well it staid this way for some 18 years and put me and my 2 younger brothers threw our licences and weekend sporting trips, sometimes 300K round trips to adelaide and back on friday night for hockey..
Untill 2007 it was used as a daily driver on the farm and broke the 450,000k's mark and left the otter ute for dead.. The parents "upgraded" to the new prado.. :jawdrop:
So it sat dormit for 6 months then i decided to inherit it. After selling my EB falcon to my younger brother for the cost of a OME +2" lift kit installed it made its way done to the mount..
First thing, painted those ugly white sunnies black.. Nice..
Then unfortuantly i got hit front on.. No majour damage, but scored a brand new ARB winch bar out of it.. :tease:
Mid this year i started getting serious with it..
I have fitted single piece glass to the rears, top move i recon..
Fitted a 25mm body lift to it for future projects and a little more height.
Gained an extra 15 Liters by my simple gank breather lift mod.
Added my own rear work light, bolt on, check out my sig
removed the front sway bar to allow a little more flex in the front.
Added a seperate fuse box in the front with a single positive buzz bar to tidy up under the bonnet..
And the TO DO LIST.. Which will keep growing

dual battery setup DONE
on board compressor
fridge.. DONE
Long Long range fuel tank.. Im hoping to get 130-150L main..

So im hoping that the old girl will give me and my new family alot of great memories as it gave me and has alot of good k's left in it..
