Big "HATS OFF" absolutely.

Have you plans for the motor?

Looking good Pierre, Do you have a name for your Patrol yet.???

Initially it was "The big pile of rust" now it would rather "play the 3D puzzle" soon it will be "Let's find Curiosity on Mars"

Nothing to plan for the engine, just check if the clutch is still good and change it if necessary.

Best regards
Pierre.

You have been quiet of late mate... hows it all going?

Anymore update pics.

Hello,

Here are some news after the cold of winter, spring was cold and wet and long, summer is to warm time to time and storms every two days, the heat under the sheets of the workshop does not help to improve, despite everything, the rear harness is raised, remains the vacuum system of the rear axle and updates air bridges and the gearbox, check the clutch is still not done due to heat.

Here are some pictures :

Hi Friends,

I'm looking for how I can clean this part of the turbocharger, if you have an Idea ?

Best regards
Petit caillou.

Carb cleaner will do the job. Look for the brands that have methyl ethyl ketone in it. That stuff removes anything. Give you cancer though.
Very nice job on the build. While it's all apart id be giving everything a brush with penetrol for added protection. Leaves a nice oily film that dries within 24 hours and becomes a very durable layer that can be painted on, or left alone.

Thank you mate,

In all case the exhaust smoke will dirty it again. I will check the valve to see if all is ok.

In France we have the Rustol, it's like Penetrol, great product to stop the rust.

Best regards
Petit caillou.

Great work so far Petit,

Your skills seem to be wasted working in IT ( unless you are just as good in IT ).

You have managed to do some things that most of us wouldn't try to tackle.

Hi happygtu,

It should be interesting to engage in the renovation, with the curiosity of thing you learn a lot and then the implementation seems simple, forums give the envy against when you are in the workshop, this n 'is not always so simple, but with perseverance we arrive at satisfactory and sometimes surprising results.

Regards
Pierre.

wow id love to renovate my qg wagon redo all the paint etc only problem is money lol

fantastic, thankyou for sharing.

Hi all,

Last night I put the hollow body wax in the frame to protect the interior from corrosion, this wax is liquid and sneaks into every hole of the chassis, this is the ideal product to reach difficult areas.

The project progresses, this weekend I disassembled the clutch to check, I think I'll also take the opportunity to replace the engine and transmission on the chassis.

Best regards
Pierre.

Hello,

A crucial step taken yesterday to check the clutch program, change it in case it would be necessary, based engine in the chassis, it will be all ... thank you

Ding dong: the clutch

End of the joke for today, a few things to prepare before laying the body on the chassis.

See you soon for new adventures.

Best regards
Pierre.

Well done Pierre, looks like it is coming together well.

Coming along mate.... been a while!!!

Thank you, end approach

Hello,

Milestone awaited a good time, the rest of the body on the chassis. With the scaffolding approach, accuracy and security are there, only problem is missing between 5 and 10cm for it to pass, thus deflating the wheels, load frame (about 200kilos mass tractor and full cinderblock ) and forward rather then backwards in this case.

It's true that it was 7:00 p.m.

Some pictures of the assembly of the body on the chassis.

It pass? or does not pass?

Petit, absolutely fantastic thread! Has given me a new lease on my rebuild. Although I dont think I will be going as far as you, this has given me the inspiration I think I needed to do mine. I have taken my GQ off the market (I was going to sell it and just buy another one) and have started planing the work I need to do to get it back on the road again. That will all start next February.

So thank you for posting this magnificent write up.

Cheers,

Rob

Hi Rob,

Good luck in your project, You have to take your time,
Think about what you do, take pictures before, during and after. Have some order (put the screws in bags and mark the sources), you have to help you with the instruction workshop, the Nissan FAST but also watch the forums to find information, it must above all be curious and sometimes find less expensive breakdowns solution. I found this project very pleasant to implement.

Best regards
Pierre.

the carpets will come from AU, for sure, I manage for.

wait and see.

best regards
pierre.

I think you put the steering wheel on the wrong side haha. Awesome work. I just went through a cab change so I know how hard it can be. Love the way you used scaffolding though. great idea.

You know I love reading your thread mate and I am so happy for you to reach this milestone....... now more of the fun stuff hey!!!!!!!!
