Thought it was time I put my new GQ in here.
This one is getting set up to tour oz in the near future.
I bought this car with a blown motor it did the rear main lost all oil pressure then spun a big end bearing.
It’s a 1990 td42
Fully rebuilt motor
Switzer turbo with water to air intercooler
21/2 inch exhaust
Hella rallye 4000 converted to hid
Hid head lights
dual batts with a 200ah gel battery
2x 40l waecos
alloy roof cage with 2x18w led lights each side

this is the motor before it went in the car with the turbo bolted up

engine in with ic plumbed up

water cooler for ic

this is a gauge pod i made

something to keep the beers cold or the pies hot

this is the mess i pulled out of it whin i got it

things to still do
2" lift kit
33" mt fcii's
make rear storage system to fit battery and fridges
get it dyno tuned
clear coat affected paint areas.

[Madriver911]

How did you get the wires down from the roof rack. I still haven't found a way that i like yet

TRev

 

[roddo]

drilled a hole on the side of the roof at the back of each side right behing the upright suports on the rack and used a grommet. didnt really want to drill into the car but couldnt fint another way.

 

[sutto]

looking good mate ill be following this one im lookin at doing a few trips next year an need some good ideas.

 

[roddo]

finally sorted out my starting problems.
it was the starter motor and the aftermarket ryco fuel filter.
put the factory filter back on and cleaned the starter motor out and replaced the solinoid.
now it starts on the 1st or second turn everytime.

[roddo]
