Tryna get back on that weekly schedule so I'm going a lot more RAW with these episodes! Less editing, less bullshit, more content :)
Cool
Would Love the raw content car is going to be sick cause ya know it’s a gq there always cool
Personally I don’t think the raw form is an issue. I didn’t even notice much difference. The content is great as usual.
you should fix the sunroof, it would be cool to see one working. I'm guessing the colour is going to be purple. The weekly upload are really good way to grow the channel and keep people coming back havent missed a video in about two years now
Yeww two years!! You’re a legend! I’ll try fix the sunroof bro!!
all the best with it, did i get the colour right?@@RoamLyfe
This channel is what built not bought used to be about before he went stupid on his channel. Great content mate. Can I put forth a suggestion, could you perhaps film a bit more of the "boring stuff" and include it in the videos, doesnt need to be crazy long just a 20 or 30 second piece. Maybe just choose a little spot that "needs boring" stuff done to it and film it as an example of what has been done to the rest of car where needed. Your a "content creator" doing a video series on restoring an old beater. I'm sure not many of your viewers would ever restore a car in their life, but enjoy watching the processes and steps taken to achieve such a feat. You find it boring cause u have done it many times, I'm sure the rest of us not so skilled viewers would find it educational. Either way you have hit that sweet spot of putting out a video that's easy to watch and yet at the end leaves us wanting more of it. Personally I look forward to seeing each upload u do.
The best part of any build... finding the work done by others 😢
another good reason to sand it back to base is the likelihood of a reaction with the new pant causing bubbling later on. Yes, it happened to us, some months later. Argh!
Dude that would suck! I did think that the solvent base mignt not work with the paint they have used.. hopefully it all sprays nicely this weekend!
The paint thing looks like someone's painted acrylic on 2K. Easy way to check is to get some terps on a rag and see if any paint transfers. 2k shouldn't, acrylic will. I've got some sanded but slightly damaged front doors you can have if you can figure out how to get them from central coast 👍
Thanks dude I’ll persist with this! I think you’re right with the acrylic, such a pain….. I’m still sanding 😆🫠
I recon your doing a Mazda red?!?! for the paint and I'm keen to see what you have next for this build.
Ooft that’s a hard colour to paint! Would look so good tho!
Loving the updates mate, keen to see this thing sprayed! If you can do that good of a job on the engine bay the body is going to look shmicko 👍🏼
Thanks bro! Let’s hope I don’t butcher it 😆🫠
Nice mate just take your time no need for weekly updates.. just did a home job re spray and prep is the key thing for sure takes times but worth the effort
Yeah for sure, I’m keen to get this paint looking nice hey, did you go single stage or clear on top?
Love the more RAW content makes when I wanna do my build that it’ll look like I’m copying but bro RAW is so much better, love watching your content almost better then watching Netflix episodes
Should try fix the sunroof. Im guessing midnight purple or wangan blue
Definitely get that sunroof fixed will be nice and retro. GQ’s are mint
Yeah will be awesome to get working hey!!
Id be fixing the sunroof before you paint it mate. Love the builds.
Yeah definitely should be butttttt yeah hahaha, the sheds cooked with dust atm so just want it all over and done with 😅😅😅😅
fixed sunroof would be sick unless you plan on having some sort of full roof rack then its pointless
I'd love an old GQ but this is enough to make me stay away from old 4bys prone to rust 😮
Love the engine bay paint, I need the motivation to do it to my rig
A lot of work but looks awesome when it’s done hey! Keep me updated if you do it!
U can do it !
Been watching for 3yrs now and I know The Roam gon put the Lyfe into this build, so stoked to see the finish paint bet it’s gon be nasty🥳😎😎🔥💯
Bro thanks heaps for watching!!
Get that sun roof working!! Will be cool rare feature
Done!!!
didnt know the sunroofs came electric aswell. my 91 gq safari has a manual pop up one which i need to take out and fix the rust in the corners
Tbh I didn’t even know they came factory on a non safari at all! Weird hey!
Maroon & Silver . Love The Engine Bay
Loving this build series, just curious if you made that Manuel surrounding piece or if you bought it? Love the look of it
I say it will look good Pride in your work
Been trying to do those emu wings just missing the pinchweld as of Bunnings stock issue
Not a painter but just wondering if paint stripper would be your friend to cut down the hours?
I thought about it but then I thought it might be messy! 😞
Hey legend! Just a couple questions about the raptor on the bogan bus ya did! What thinners did you use? And where’d you manage to get the tint and what code? About to give it a go on my ln Hilux and you seem to have it spot on! 👌🏽
Loving this build 🤙🤙 getting better everyday 🤙🤙🤙 I just remember the lancer build before hahaha are you going to build some jdm drift car in the future ?
Hahah the lancer!! I dunno dude I would love too, I just gotta find the right one! Crazy you remember that!! Haha
@@RoamLyfe I’m a big fan so yeah I remember the past videos you did 🍺🍺🍺
You don't need to pull the head liner to get the glass out. There are four nuts, and you can lift it out
Oh thank you!! So just pull down the front of headliner to expose it? Then for bolts and put up
You need to get the glass to move up just a little and the nuts are on the side of the glass panel. The thread is in the glass. You don't need to touch the head liner mate
@@hammo1683 oh sweet , just pry it up sorta thing and get a spanner in thetr
Short of, there is a plastic cover hiding the rail, so pop that off and you will see the nut. I just had a look at my one and there will be three each side. Then you just lift the glass out, i used a plastic wadge to hold it open. It will make it so easy to sand the roof. I wish I figured it out before painting my shorty. Now I have to repaint the roof LOL.
Hey man love the stuff u put out just wondering where u get the zink steel from gotta do some rust repairs on my gq 👍
Hey dude! Just go to any sheet metal place and they should have 0.8mm zync!
Thanks 👍
I had a GQ with the same sun roof and it also leaked, I ended up putting compressed air up the drains and it had a gum nut blocking the drain, once I blew the drains out it never leaked again.
Oh really! I honestly think there’s a rubber missing around this one? Where does the drain come out? Is it at front windscreen?
@RoamLyfe. It was 10 plus years ago, but I'm pretty sure it was down around the rear bottom of the front quarters and somewhere around bottom of the pillars between the doors, it was a clear hose, maybe look near chassis rails. When you get it open have a look in the corners for the drains holes. I remember the gum nut popping out clear as day.
keen as for this man, i want to respray my gq wag, previous owner raptor coated it red, at the time i bought it i didnt know anything about raptor, idk what my best bet is and the best way to go about it, buy new doors gaurds and bonnet and flap disc the rest??, can you sand blast it off?? any tips would be appreciated, cheers heaps you lot 🤙
Hey mate, best of to sand it, don’t use a grinder , just use like 60 grit sand paper and try get it as flat as possible!
Hold on to that grinder They can bite
I think its going Gold to match the flake in the bay.
🥵🥵
😂
You should chop it to a single cab!
This would be cool!!
Good with a black fleck
🤞🤞
Fix the sunroof would be sick
Yeah I reckon would be a cool mission!
Where can I get those pins and bushes ? Desperately need them for mine it’s basically for backwards lambo doors at this point 😢
From patrolapart online mate
Grey surely…… maybe more blue grey?! Definitely will have grey 😂❤
😅😅😅
Think we need an update on the gu
Got it planned for after the paint 👌👌
Give me your top three bonnet scoops for 4wds looking at doing one on my triton
79 post dpf, cross country, 4jj1 Colorado
@@RoamLyfe for a triton? 79 scoop?
Was gonna say dark grey till you said you wouldn’t normally pick it, I reckon maybe red or something
Maybe it’s not that different 😂
@@RoamLyfe coming back to say what a guess 😂
Gday, what a shit job sanding is but it’s one of them things that’s gotta be done, the rust patch looks original, top job mate, cheers
Broooo… worst job. It’s legit taken at least 20 hrs so far and I’m about 3/4 of the way haha
With all of the work you’re doing it would be a shame if you didn’t restore the sun roof. I think the paint colour will be similar to the engine bay.
Definitely think after I paint it I’ll try fix that sunroof!
dark brown
Green
Black with gold flakes
This would be cool!!
I’m watching you for a beach in Fiji boy
Bloody hell, next time I’m coming 🤘🤘
Paint stripper would help you out abit.
It crossed my mind tbh but I think it’s a bit messy in the shed! Although my shed is trashed now 🫠🫠
I’m guessing charcoal grey ?
red with gold where the plastics go
🥵🥵
color match the gul wing fr.
I thought about it hey
Gun Metal Grey
🔥🔥
Fender? What is a fender mate lol.
You should do a hot pink 😅
😆😆😆
Gold pearl
🤞🤞
Black sparkles
😅😅
nevara grey
🤯🤯
black
That would look dope
Mazda red
This would be epic!
I can see the color on the can lid so.......orange.
I will say, I do hate orange the most 😉
Toyota red
Red
🤞🤞
I reckon ur going for a burgundy look
Actually thought about that hey! 🥵
Grey colour????
😎😎
White.
Beautiful GQ? That's an oxymoron!
😆😆😆😆
I am going to be polite, the rust repair you showed on yout channel on the sill and centre pillar, is really far from good. The sill panel is a box panel that runs the length of the side of the car, which is part of tge car structual integrity. You basically cut the rust, you should have cut the lower section of the pillar off to repair the sill properly, this is a 4be, so with body flex etc its not a safe repair. The centre pillar sits on too of the sill panel and welded to it. Not a safe repair. Its good your giving it a go, but at least do it right.
I do get what your saying but I think it’s going to be fine, I’ve seen Gqs at glasshouse with the whole bottom sill rusted out and they still don’t move 😆 not saying it’s good but I can’t see how that little section cut out and welded in is going to effect the car in the long run. It’s a lot better than leaving the rust there and bogging it which 99 percent of people do these days! May not be perfect but I’m confident in the repair
I am very impressed with your body work repairs🤌 Not bad for a plumber 😂
