Bloodyaussie's GQ

[MudRunnerTD]

Dont think you realise how much crap I have on this car and how long it would take to swap everything over.....????

It would be far quicker and easier to swap and engine than all the other crap???

All my stuff is new and anything I buy will no way have had just about everything replaced..

My main goal is to find a rusted or rollover and only just missed out on a very good one as I stated earlier so they are out there.

Yeah I really do appreciate what may be new and worth coin. If though you find a "Rusted Out" TD wagon are you buying a good motor ou of a neglected POS?? Or risking a motor that has probably also been neglected? Almost certainly the latter.

A written off would be a better option IMO. I have no idea but do you need the TD Loom for the conversion? Certainly all the bolt ons will be needed on the engine.

You should get a pen and list what you actually want to keep on this car. List t, write it down. Value it. If you sell the car how much of that list can you take off first and not affect the sale price? -(bonus stuff)

If you sell your very sweet TB GQ ready to go you will get good coin for it. You are then looking for a very nice TD42 Wagon that will likely have a nice lift, a locker or 2, bar, winch. Happy days! Drive on!

I brought back my written off GQ way back when I drowned it because I thought the stuff fitted to it was worth keeping. Silly! Should have taken the money and bought again.

Just my thoughts mate, happy to be the guy steering you another way.

I have a front diff centre in a 4.1:1 you'd be welcome to so you can take your front locker centre out mate.

[Alitis007]

Actually Darren, he'll be needing those 4.11's after the TD conversion coz the TB's Run 3.9's so his locker need to be removed and the crown wheel and pinion needs to be swapped to suit the TD. Thats front and rear i might add.....

[Winnie]

Will the locker be able to be used in the new diff centre or is it then no use to him?

[MudRunnerTD]

No it will bolt straight in. Has he still got the bits out of his front diff?

My GUiV has 3.9s with the TD42Ti and its not too bad, he could get away with it until he finds some new centres. When he finds some I would be chasing at least some 4.3s rather than the 4.1s. If he wants to run 35s often then 4.6s for the win. I'd like to swap out my 3.9s for some 4.3s on the GUIv

[Alitis007]

Actually my mistake, i'm thinking his run 3.9 like mine but mines an auto he's already running 4.11's lol and your right he'd be better running 4.3 or 4.6's for better acceleration

[Bloodyaussie]

I love ya Daz but this is how it is going to be and I need you all to stay the course.

I will be looking to do the conversion and my reasons are as stated.

I got slack today doing stuff with the kids so have not managed to get the ride on on the market..

So as I am sticking with my plan of action I ask again is it worth putting my engine on the market now?

Does anyone have good connections with engine supply.

I want to turn this year around and end on a high as the first 6 months (since Brindabella) has been dogs balls.

[AB]

Ill be there to help with whatever decision you make muffins!

Rosscos was a sand rollover so they are out there. If you want me to make some enquiries then let me know bud.

Rossco I'm sure will be available and will be a huge asset to the install as well.

[Bloodyaussie]

Yes Andy can you use your great influence and see what prices you can come up with from the trade otherwise I am looking out for a complete car but more than likely for the money will be a non turbo????

[Winnie]

I can come along and point at what needs doing.
