GQ Chop 3 - REAR WALL FINISHED! What's next!?

- After several years of abuse on the beach & in the bush, the GQ Patrol is full of rust & covered in dents. After my recent trip to Cape York, I told myself I would send it one last time through the $1000 Track as a wagon & then it would be time to chop it into an extra cab ute & rebuild it fresh & ready for it's next life.

those sand dunes looks like the same spot Bobby McBoost ventures to quite often
Yeah mate sure is, Bellingham in tas
Mate it’s looking absolutely awesome. Keen to see how the process goes as I’m thinking of getting my rig ready to chop.
Are you doing anything in terms of engineering?
And what’s the idea for the interior. Keen to see it.
Yeah I’d avoid it if you can it’s a crap tonne of work haha, I did it cause I had to, as explained in another episode.
Yeah it’s being engineered, been in contact with them along the way, the interior will be shown in the new ep this Sunday, did all car builders, will get new vinyl on the floor and a new headliner on the roof cheers mate 👌🏻👌🏻
Coming along nicely, can't wait to see it finished, great job 👍
I can’t wait to see it finished either to be honest 😅
Mate, props to you this is a huge job and I have already seen the finished product so I know it comes out awesome. I just can't help thinking that your rear wall would have been super strong if your top bar was also cut to shape like you did at the bottom to clear the tub etc... Would have given you a pretty strong roll cage and really neat finish inside. I get it would have taken ages to get right.
Yeah I did consider it, I even started to cut one up but I just thought fuck it haha, if the back wall wasn’t already pretty strong being 2mm then I definitely would have for sure, thanks heaps dude appreciate it 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This thing is looking beyond sweeet🤤 Funny thing when you were talking about the box (SHS) being straight… You actually could have gotten that 50 SHS rolled to that slight radius (calculated with a few simple hand calculations). I’m up here in north QLD and the mills and refineries get HEAPS of stuff rolled but it’s not that common of knowledge so thought I’d pop the comment in there.
Yeah I definitely could have rolled a piece but honestly that section was 2mm on 2mm zinc anyway, so even on a bad day it’s 3mm corner thickness? So didn’t worry too much, I also considered just a bit of flat bar as a rib there, but yeah she’ll work thanks heaps dude
Looking awesome she's going to be a beast (not that it wasn't already). Lov'n the build can't wait to see how she turns out👍
Hopefully she doesn’t lose too much of what she had goin on ahaha thanks heaps man ✌🏻✌🏻
I remember when I discovered you though music I still listen to it this very day I'm happy you found something else you love I hope you're I good health and I hope one day to hear another song from you ❤️
Love that, thank you! But yeah I’m onto this kind of thing now, all my music is still on the other channel though 🙏🏻
How did you do the ribs along the roof into the rear panel?
I’m not sure I understand fully but I just cut them out as best I could and then worked them out with a flappy and a grinder 👍🏻👍🏻
Watching my dream rig become built
Haha nice, same here!! 😅
What welder are you using ?
Ahh it’s a unimig viper 185 or something mate!
Great job on the blob Timmy!
Hahaha thank you 🥰
WoW great job👍👍👍👍👍
Haha saw you comment on the first ep, obviously having a binge! Glad you’re enjoying mate.
So what’s the white one you have two?😮 enjoying the build
Yeah mate the white one is my GU, tbh I use it as a daily more than anything haha, but going to build it into a tourer type setup 👍🏻👍🏻
@@timmyhasheart oh cool hope to see that one as well thanks for the reply 👍
looking mint mate
Cheers bud!
Damn Son! Total Patrol envy from Van Isle, BC. Love what you are doing!
Hey mate thank you, appreciate you watching 🤘🏻
Sick build. Do some generous cavity waxing while you have it all apart. Don't want the rust coming through from the inside!
Yeah Ash, the guy who supplied my tray mounts actually said the same thing, great idea thank you 🙏
Been waiting for this upload! Looks epic mate, I’ve taken alot on board you smashed it
Thanks heaps mate, appreciate it, it’s a hell of a lot of work behind the scenes just trying to at least film the standard stuff 🙏
who's 79 is that, whats there instagram or tiktok
Ahh his name is drew he’s in my instagram followers. It’s a mint 79 man, been out wheeled by it on occasions haha.
Everyone should have a mate like Drew 👍🏻👍🏻
Hard facts mate, super lucky, the help aside I’ve stayed at his house and worked in his shed for the past 10 weekends 😅
wish i had a machine to cut my walls out rather than using a grinder. i do windowless walls on my chops and can confirm that not having a great big hole helps with not warping i actually love doing the roof XD
Yeah trust me it was tempting to not worry about a window, would have saved a heck of a headache but I’d have kicked myself not to see over my shoulder so I’m glad I did, all the welding is done at least, time for body filler, primer and paint!
@@timmyhasheart the builds i do at work all have canopies so theres no real need for a window although ive just started pulling apart my 105 today to start its chop next week which will have a jackoff but ill be using a constant on rear view mirror camera. i just installed a gator one recently in a ranger and i was pretty impressed with its clarity and range of vision like had full blind spot vision so will install one of those.
also not excited to do the body filling and paint prep on mine either
Yeah well if I was doing a canopy then I’d have absolutely not worried about a window, I was lucky though I was careful so I didn’t warp it, but I just meant in the vid I had to go slow so it didn’t, but yeah she’s all good and done now and I’ll be able to see out the dog A+
@@timmyhasheart oh yeah cause my walls are done as a full sheet i have to go slow as fuck sometimes its a real struggle to not just do full runs to speed it up but we all know that will end in some serious problems and way too much bog work needed in the end.
Will this pass a cert in aussie?
I sure hope so hey! Haha I’ve been in contact with the fella doing it and been submitting photos etc. He’s happy so far
@@timmyhasheart Awesome bro 👍🏻 Really digging your content lately! It has a real feel to it and a refreshing change from other people. Are you able to go through briefly what the process is like as far as if you wanted to do this yourself and cert it?
Looking mint.. waiting for heat is like watching paint dry 😩 I reckon the plum cut on the roof is gonna look better in the end rather then following that angle even though there was a bit more work filling it in the end . Keen on the build mate will be following along
Thanks heaps man appreciate it 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great job, a mate of mine cut a 4.8 wagon into an extra cab, worked out a treat. 🤘👌👍👍
Yeah I dunno if I’d do a GU haha, a lot more curves to worry about! I do rate the 48’s
Looks Sick, great work, can't wait for the next one.🤟🤟
It’s definitely hard to get good content while I’m just trying to smash through the actual work but I’ll keep doing what I can!
Pity you didn't stretch the wheel base while you were at it.
Honestly they don’t need stretching, just ruins how nimble they are in the bush, if anything you just chop the chassis down, dual cabs need a little stretch just to get the rear diff back under the tray properly but not an wxtra
Can't wait for next ep mate. Really got my leaning towards a chop for my old girl! Keep up the good work 🙏🤙
Thanks heaps mate, it’s a lot of work, soooooo much more than I even show so approach with caution haha, I’d only chop if you had rust and other shit you wanted to get rid of. 😅
@@timmyhasheart I know there's a heap that goes into it. I'd pay a local fab shop as I got no idea when it comes to welding aha. My bus has a bit of rust and I miss having a ute so much
Looking good Tim, it's coming along well. 😎👍
Yeah she’s slowly getting there mate, thank you!!
Weird question have you ever had a clutch fan smash in high water crossing in the patrols also loving the content I'm also from launceston
Na mate have never seen it personally, up at the cape 2 of the cruisers had the fan contact the radiator but I think it was more an engine mount thing from hitting the vertical bottom of gunshot rather than a water thing cause it wasn’t very deep at the bottom of gunshot
Oh ok lol I went out to hollybank the other week and went through some water and my fan exploded and took out my radiator
Coming along real nice. I'm enjoying your DIY style a lot. What colour is she going to be?
Thanks heaps dude!! Honestly all I know is it’s going to involve Toyota merlot for the top, maybe then I’ll two tone it again and keep the bottom half gold or a nice graphite.
@@timmyhasheart Awesome! I'm looking forward to your updates!
Really clean build, cant wait to see the end result!
Thanks mate, I’m keen for the end result too 😅
Like a bloody bought one...!
Aha dunno about that but she’ll get there 👌🏻👌🏻
Nice wet rag will help keep some of the heat out of those welds 🔥
Love the channel mate good on ya!
Yeah I’ve been told that helps, also compressed air was another good one
@@timmyhasheart yep also a spray bottle works but it's better if you have a helper.
Good looking angles on the chop mate
Thanks mate 👌🏻👌🏻 it’s one thing I heavily focused on just because it’s tough to get a good looking extra cab
Coming along nicely mate!
Yeah she’s getting there son!
It's looking so good bro.👊😁👍
Cheers mate! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Go the Patrol! 🛻🤙😎📹
Facts, patrol the world mate ✌🏻
Lovin this build
Thanks so much!! 🙏🏻 if enough people are interested I can do a video to date of what’s done to it
Keep up the great work
Cheers mate 🙏🙏💪💪
nice job mate
Thank you! 🙏🏻
nice one mate, looks awesome!. got some great mates there, better make sure they get a case or 2 haha
Ahaha for sure, it’s reciprocated one way or another. He has a rig that we also do plenty of work to but he’ll be getting a couple bonus goodies after this i reckon! ;)
