    Gday from Perth

    How's it going?
    Just picked up a '96 GQ last week
    It's a 4.2L manual petty/gas with 320K kms on it. Pacemaker extracters which seller didn't realise :S

    She's a bit rough with a few things on the to-do list...
    When such&such did the gas install, they sheared off the brackets to the airbox...would it be fine to do away with it & chuck on a pod filter? They also snapped off a piece from the plastic 'hose' that goes to the airbox from around the wheel guard....don't ask

    Also noticed the front right wheel is leaking from the swivel hub. A 2" lift kit's on the cards so i'll probably do the swivel rebuild kits when that gets done

    The bushes are pretty perished so they're on the list....bloody thing's growing already & i've only had it a week!

    Probably going to chuck it in to the local for a big once over to see if I missed anything.
    Hope to pick up a bit of knowledge from here

    Cheers,
    Russ
