I BOUGHT THE CHEAPEST SWB GQ PATROL IN AUS! (FULL REBUILD & RESTORATION EP.1) 

3rd option would be real cool.

2nd option gotta keep factory roof with a twist, I think the canvas will look outer placed sitting on top

Wrap tube around the cab with bends in the rear corners and use the steel roof that’ll look sick as bro

Or 4th option Tube roof front half, soft top and have it 45 angled on the back. Would definitely be a cool looking different

I think 3 is a killer idea. Super unique and cool

option 2 or 3 would be sick the tube will act as a roof slider

Well body chop with a canvas rear would look the best I reckon

Yea mate I reckon the 3rd option is definitely the go, much more unique and interesting, just so you know I’m looking at buying a project very similar to this gq just bc I’ve never seen a video as good as this bc it’s genuinely informative and interesting to watch I cbf rust converting my bns Ute but I’ll definitely look at getting a project soon so thanks mate we all appreciate your efforts 🤙🏼

Job well done fella, 3rd option would be wicked as can’t wait to see what you do

Brother did a soft top single cab about 20 years ago, looked awesome…sounded good too with a 350 fitted…

Canvas, for sure! You're doing my dream build!

Number 2 and don’t give up on it good seeing something new well old but new content

Any option sounds sick to be honest

Option 2 for sure

Canvas and retro style not black have like a brown / badge love this idea👍

3rd sounds absolutely wild brother! Super unique, very fun project playing with canvas, and sounds right up your alley in converting an old legend into a newborn legend 💪

Big job with rust mate keen to see how it turns out

Option 2 for me👍

Tube canvas would be killer

The older mq shorties had a removable fibreglass roof on them, so the canvas top would be a good nod to the older patrols. Option 3 for sure

try and get a roof cut

Soft top is a cool idea for a weekend rig

I’d do option 3 for sure but have the roof skin at the front with a canvas back half like the old MQ patrols had ( there’s was fibreglass but same same) 🤘

Backfire lol it’s been key banged

Option 1. Or do front half tube, with mq shorty half canopy on rear

2nd option. Not many vids on here of people fitting roof sliders on rusty gqs.

3rd option would be awesome, could even make it more of a ute back, otherwise option 2 tubbed gutters

Have you thought about grafting the roof section from an MQ/MK shorty, as they have the driver section of roof with the removeable rear fibre glass section.

Looking forward to this

Sick🔥

Tube and canvas top would look good mate

Option 3, but hard roof front, soft top rear, similar to a jeep wrangler, would be neat as

Bro go the convertible option ! Always wanted to see or build a convertible Gq that will be mad and so different

I reckon the tube roof and canvas option that would be cool to see

Do a soft top build

3RD option bruzzy, was saying why have a roof get rid of it Jeep style canvas

I like the sound of the 3rd option. But could you go one better, maybe a 4th option and do an MQ style fibreglass roof 🤔

Great vid - wasted no time getting stuck into it.

Brown canvas with light tan lower half? 🤔 Awesome idea

canvas would be sick only one in aus probably

Very good video please keep the money count in each video

I think a steel roof would be ideal, canvas just screams leaks to me. Interesting how much of a cover up old mate did on the rust, but of a stitch up for the price you paid. Keen to see more videos on this build though

Option 4, get a mq/mk patrol fiberglass Top

Make the roof a convertible option!!!

2 or 3rd whatever you do go with the tube

I think 2nd option would look good but 3rd would look out of place

idea 3 and tube down front windscreen?

id like to see it looking nice and orginal , option 1 for me!!

Would the 2nd and 3rd option be road legal at all? Just asking out of curiosity

Option 2 for me i reckon. .

For sure 3rd option

soft top would be sick

3rd option brown canvas

Option 2 mate

Canvas top

Single cab gq body on shorty chassis with short tray would be sick

canvas roof would be mad

What colours used oil meant to be?

These are red hot on the police hit list to remove from Australian roads

Rag top!

Idea 3 with retro theme

Saw this for sale on marketplace

Option 2

3rd option for sure

cut n shunt a ute roof or wagon roof from bottom of pillars

Repaint it Holden persian sands colour with chrome door handles, mirrors, grille and chrome kmc beadlocks

First option

3 for sure

go with the cabriolet GQ

gotta get the sun roof

absolutely no soft top at all

3rd option

These Nissan must have fallen big time in price my son only ended up getting $2500 for his grandpa 2000 model Nissen last week it was in very good condition it had no mod's no rust no dents good paint good interior and has rego nothing to do but drive it.

2 option

First or second option, I think canvas roofs are tacky

Saw one the other day for $1500

option 3

Make it original again fresh gutters and fresh roof

Don’t know why you think that was cheap. Paid the exact same for mine and it’s got less rust in it than my gu.. and certainly doesn’t need a whole roof replaced

Would be sick to see a retro canvas roof something that hasnt been done that ik of 🫡 Would also be good to do a different style sunroof install on a metal roof

Option 2

First option

3rd option

2 option
