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 🤙🏼
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 💪
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) 🤘
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
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.
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.
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
Always one loudmouth in the comments, nobody cares about what you paid or what you bought. Why be negative towards a bloke who has just lost his car and is starting from scratch and actually doing the work himself to learn the skills of sheet metal and bodywork?
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
3rd option would be real cool.
I agree! I think it’ll be unique and cool gesture on the beach during summer 🤟🏽
Black soft top with black pillars and then a white body would look sick
2nd option gotta keep factory roof with a twist, I think the canvas will look outer placed sitting on top
Or 4th option
Tube roof front half, soft top and have it 45 angled on the back. Would definitely be a cool looking different
👌👌
Wrap tube around the cab with bends in the rear corners and use the steel roof that’ll look sick as bro
I think 3 is a killer idea. Super unique and cool

Well body chop with a canvas rear would look the best I reckon
Brother did a soft top single cab about 20 years ago, looked awesome…sounded good too with a 350 fitted…
Job well done fella, 3rd option would be wicked as can’t wait to see what you do
Option 2 for me👍
option 2 or 3 would be sick the tube will act as a roof slider
Canvas, for sure! You're doing my dream build!
Canvas and retro style not black have like a brown / badge love this idea👍
Tube canvas would be killer
Option 2 for sure
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 💪
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) 🤘
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
Option 1. Or do front half tube, with mq shorty half canopy on rear
Option 3, but hard roof front, soft top rear, similar to a jeep wrangler, would be neat as
Backfire lol it’s been key banged
3RD option bruzzy, was saying why have a roof get rid of it Jeep style canvas
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
I reckon the tube roof and canvas option that would be cool to see
Tube and canvas top would look good mate
Bro go the convertible option ! Always wanted to see or build a convertible Gq that will be mad and so different
Brown canvas with light tan lower half? 🤔 Awesome idea
Number 2 and don’t give up on it good seeing something new well old but new content
Big job with rust mate keen to see how it turns out
try and get a roof cut
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

canvas would be sick only one in aus probably
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 🤔
Make the roof a convertible option!!!
3rd option brown canvas
Do a soft top build
Any option sounds sick to be honest
Great vid - wasted no time getting stuck into it.
Option 2 mate
Option 4, get a mq/mk patrol fiberglass Top
Very good video please keep the money count in each video
I think 2nd option would look good but 3rd would look out of place
Option 2 for me i reckon. .
Single cab gq body on shorty chassis with short tray would be sick
cut n shunt a ute roof or wagon roof from bottom of pillars
Never have the rear end sit lower than the front end suspension please fix
Saw this for sale on marketplace
canvas roof would be mad
Looking forward to this
Repaint it Holden persian sands colour with chrome door handles, mirrors, grille and chrome kmc beadlocks
2 or 3rd whatever you do go with the tube
For sure 3rd option
id like to see it looking nice and orginal , option 1 for me!!
Rag top!
soft top would be sick
These are red hot on the police hit list to remove from Australian roads
go with the cabriolet GQ
Idea 3 with retro theme
idea 3 and tube down front windscreen?
Option 2
3 for sure
3rd option
Sick🔥
Canvas top
Would the 2nd and 3rd option be road legal at all? Just asking out of curiosity
gotta get the sun roof
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.
3rd option for sure
First option
2 option
absolutely no soft top at all
What colours used oil meant to be?
First or second option, I think canvas roofs are tacky
Saw one the other day for $1500
Not regod though and very rusty
Make it original again fresh gutters and fresh roof
option 3
retro theme
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
How is 2.5k not cheap?
@@rhockyrhoads7773 cause it's stuffed and should of been scrapped. If it was a td42 one it would of been cheap.

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
