Sounds like a man needs a sponsor with deep pockets to make our dreams come true.

I have a rust free GQ. I'm paranoid about rust so I peeled the roof lining back at each door and stuck a cavity wax wand into the gap between the outer skin and the roof supports and flooded it. The cavity wax can flow down to where the roof is pinch welded along the gutter. There were actually a few spots I noticed where the cavity wax made it through tiny cracks in the sealant in the gutter and could be seen from the outside. If the cavity wax can get out then water can get in, and it will just sit between those two sandwiched sheets. I think applying cavity wax to an old vehicle is really worthwhile.

Yep, best shit on the plannet! This will be getting a full dose of cavity wax 👌

Got my 1989 gq from an auction for around this price with under 200,000kms td42 silvertop grandpa spec with some of the roof rusted but cut and sanded those bits, panel beat copper to fill the spaces pop ribbet them in, aluzinc rolled along sides, front and back, corners with fibre glass, bog over that to smooth the shape and strengthed the gutter with angled aluzinc on top of them, roof has cost me $350. Old man who passed away owned it, he'd always serviced it so its mint as.

parts commonality is one of the best things about these things, can easily bolt gu upgraded parts on a gq

I love watching old td patrols get built to pretty much new. And as a rookie with a 1993 td42 patrol. watching stuff like this helps out a lot. Great Vids Mate 💪

WoW amazing patrol i hope to see a lot off video,s with this patrol old school rules 💪👍💪 and i hope you keep this one i have also 2patrols and i watch Every time with my son who has avt shirt off your flatbed patrol greetings from Belgium europe 👍💪👍💪👍

Good buy. Be keen to the full service, and prep/install of snail, intercooler, air box and snorkel

Awesome cant wait to see more on this project ahead. Keep up the great craftsmanship an hard work. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless,

What a mint looking rig mate. I can’t wait to see what you do to it next time

Love it man, just a clean fun build! and it looks like an amazing build! GLASSY GLASSY GLASSY!

You've done well here mate, for a lit of people they'd be a bit scared but you can see through that & use your experience to make this thing sing. Well played! 👏💪

She’s a diamond in the rough 🥵

Honestly if I was you I’d be turning it into a super capable off roader because you’ve already got a tourer in the gu. Apart from that great buy and looking forward to seeing what happens with it!

Stretch chassis. Alloy canopy. Dual cab. King shocks, airride. Longarms. UFI go fast bits. Walker evans for retro look. Recaro expert seats. Roof sliders

Love any Patrol content. Should be fun to watch.

Can’t wait for the build mate, love a cheap gq

Sick so glad you bought a another gq, my old mavrick had a factory sunroof looked similar to yours and leaked like no tomorrow, I think you should make it big set it up for the hard stuff it’ll do it better then your gu and won’t feel as bad when you cave it in

Got mine for $6k, na td42 wagon, clean as, perfectly running, only rust is in the rear left quarter and its only the size of a 20c piece. Got at 460km 6months ago, now got it at 492km

good to see there are still cheap td42s out there, i got mine just b4 covid hit. was up on facebook for 18 minutes when i got told about it, messaged the guy and we settled on 2900 had to drive 4hrs each way to get it. 3 yrs later its still in the driveway :D

DERKS HIGH FLOW WATER PUMP MATE!!! Best thing for a TD. Will never overheat after that

💪yessssssssss. Go the GQ! What a buy! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Gqs definitely have sunroofs my shorty has one but it doesn’t have the slide out blank piece its just a pop up one

Keep the GU for touring and GQ for tough tracks 💪

Can't wait to see the next mods on this great beast.

I have got the same car but a Ute i love it can’t wait to see what happens with this thing

Sick buy bro. Keep the old school cool Indys. They were sh1t hot in the day. Get them polished. You'll be glad y'all did. Sensational mint based channel cuz. Cheers

keen mate 😊

Thank god you picked one of these.

The Nissan patrol gqs didnt come with sun roof but the ford mavs were a bit more classy and sun roof was an option

Awesome!

The problem with na td42 silver tops is everyone put oversized turbos on and ground up the fuel pin just not to mention it’s only a 10mm pump that isn’t boost compensated thus in turn blowing the bottom end out of it

Barra swap would be cool af. Great content for the channel no.5

I just bought my gq couple weeks ago, $7500, 169,000 k's td42 silver top. zero rust been sitting for around 10 years:)

Hey mate looking to buy one also tryna keep under $10k where’s best spots to look cause I’ve been giving market place and Gumtree and big rundown and I cannot seem to find any?

Why did I get a pimp my ride vibe when you were washing it 😂

Would love a video on how to fix clear-coat peal. Got a bargain!!👌🏻

I already know this thing will be sick

I have a hunch about the sun roof I have a Nissan mistral which also goes by the name Ford maverick I do believe some gq were also under Ford maverick as well so it could very well be that the maverick comes with factory sun roof

please go top mount with a 79 scoop, looks so clean IMO on the old wagos

this makes want to get a gq now

Keen to see where you take this

Wicked buy and will be awesome project, got a swb GQ here in nz. Quick question what is the cleaner ya use in your foam gun ? Looks like it works awesome. Anyway keep up the good work dude 👌👍

Sunroofs came factory from the Safari spec 24 volt common in New Zealand.

looks good man keep it clean i recon buy some flogged out for glassy

The wheels look so good for that model. As it was a squared off design..

I paid $350 for a SWB with td42. Stripped it, panel and paint. All new glass and seals,new suspension,35s all sorts

That song is umm. Super good 😵‍💫

It’s funny how we can spend a ton of money making a clean rig then be so excited to clean up a shitta haha solid buy though 👌🏼 I reckon a nice tidy up and full bar work, twin locked and make a nice “extreme” 4x4

Hey mate not all gqs rust on the roof, I've had roof racks on for 12 years and no rust. Think it may have had factory rust protection, there is a sticky residual inside the doors and where the jack goes. Be very interesting if yours has the same

Do you have any videos of your camping trailer and it's set up. It looks mint.

U should defs make it a a street car,since u have the GU for tracks🎉

Got yourself such a good buy at a bargain price, can’t wait for the build and see what you do to her. Should turn her into an absolute beast since you’ve already got a tourer.

Can’t beat my mate he bought an old mq patrol for $1500 that still runs and drives and I had to drive the thing back to his grandparents place

Two months ago I bought a factory paint 97 y60 with a tb48 engine gear diff every thing is from a 2022 super safari patrol for 4500$ in Kuwait

My swb has a factory sun roof

Y60 / Y61 / lc 80 / lc100 are the best cheap off road cars very strong durable and if you don’t want in-line 6 replace it with 6.0 LS and now you create a beast great engine with great gearing A/T or M/T and strong solid axles

Those 90’s alloys are mad, polish them up. Way cooler than any shiny Chinese wheel

budget comp truck spec. build everything on the cheap then do the hardest tracks possible in it

If repaint do a nice green emerald colour that has glitter

Seen a fair few shortys with a sunroof so might be factory

Please do something retro and clean, there's not enough GQs left anymore and even less left in a beautiful way that people can admire.

Show us how to make a cheap rig once we upgrade our main 4wd to a point that we don't want to damage it anymore. Like you have already done with the wheels take all the parts you have lying around from the GU build and see what fits on the GQ. You can save money that way and might look cool. The wheels suit it so far.

Overheating? They’re known to be big n bulky so try put a thermo fan on too but also that means you have to watch river crossing with the fan blades

G’day, What a gem of a vehicle you’ve got your hands on mate, the TD42 engine is gold, it has had a bad name of being a boat anchor, but with a good rebuild you can get great horsepower and fantastic torque. Cheers Michael
