Airbus GQ

I bought this 1996 RD28T GQ Patrol at the start of last year in the hopes of challenging myself to learn as much as possible about building and maintaining my own vehicles.

I've got big dreams for this old girl including an engine swap, respray, rust repair, bigger turbo, just to name a few things. I'm never one to half ass anything so you know I'm going to spend as long as it takes making it absolutely PERFECT.
