Great photos there Ray, good to hear that you get out and enjoy your Mighty GQ.
Nice pics Ray good to see your out there driving & using your shorty for it was truly intended...... FUN
If its not tree polished mate its not a 4be its a Toorak tractor (as we call them here in Vic)
Cheers
Paul
Good to see another Tassie Patrol!!
Looks like your having a bit of fun in it mate. good on you.
Hi Trolatron, great photos, looks like you are having a lot of fun. Our patrols are all special, they don't need to have heaps of mods or accessories hanging off them. As long as it does what you want it to then that's great.Quote:

Plan is to remove the speakers in the doors and build slide draws set up.

Now that's a neat speaker pod man. You're wired for sound with those.
Very neat and today mate! Looks awesome!
That is bloody nice work but how well dose it work with that many speakers & not much air space behind the speakers?
Sounds ok could do with more bass though. maby i should add some tubes like a sub has ???Quote:

Did you run new wiring)? Love the shorty mate - looks a treat. Hear you on getting a wagon for more room, but I guess if the shorty is suiting the needs, then go with it - for all the obvious effort you have put into to it, make sure you get the reward from driving it!!
Bigrig ---- Trolatron - tell me more, tell me more!!!
I used some old pine lining boards for the frame of the pod

Bit of vinal from spotlight ( got the misses to do sewing )

And you need a helper on these big jobs..

I ran all the wires and aerial cables up the inside of the front of the dash i filed a small slot
in the top right hand corner of the dash face to allow the wires to come threw.
I used dubble sided velcro tape to hold it in position. I have hit some hard tracks
and its never moved at all.
I used the speaker wires that came with the speakers and ran them back to the head unit.
I plan on puting in a small amp and a sub and when i do that ill run all new bigger wires but as it is now it runs fine.
I ran the wires behind the plastic corner covers to get to the roof.
You're a star - thanks mate - love the idea and have been thinking of an overhead console, but the more I look into it, the only reason I want it is for somewhere to mount the UHF ... dash pod would be ideal ...
i love that front bar, looks awsome
Yeh the bar came out ok im happy with it.Quote:

Ultra tuff looking ride mate love it keep the pics coming.
love the work mate, keep em coming
good work mate keep the pics coming i think my GQ is heading for the chopping block liking your ideas
Mate!!!! Clunk told me about the quarter chop which I just responded to, and then I see your thread - great job mate .. how did you go getting under/around the two body mounts at the rear?
Thanks a million for throwing this info up!!!!
Cool mate gunna pull mine apart today and see what can do over the weekend
[QUOTE=Bigrig;81074]Mate!!!! Clunk told me about the quarter chop which I just responded to, and then I see your thread - great job mate .. how did you go getting under/around the two body mounts at the rear?
I tell ya i was nervous about doing the chop because i have never done anything to cars befor as in cutting into panels and stuff but it came out ok .
I cut the whole quater panel off from the outside, I cut away the outside skin as in the first picture and bent it down out of the way then its not to bad to get in there and cut the inner skin off.
Just remember to pull all the wireing out especially on the drivers side or you will cut into them.
I drilled a hole in from in behind where the plastic cover goes over the fuel filler pipes, up in the drivers wheel arch to run the wires back in to the break lights.passinger side is higher so was ok.

[QUOTE=Trolatron;81267]Right ... so what will it take to get you over to my joint? Don't worry about the distance, I figure an airfare will be cheaper than the repairs needed if everyone leaves it to me and dhuck!!!! lmfaoQuote:
