Vic boy heading to the Gold Coast. Advice needed!!!

Post by GU BUG »

Well after much contemplation, I've just resigned from work & am ready to make the move to Sunny QLD :D.

I'm interested in peoples opinions on any of the 4wd workshops around the Gold Coast/ Brisbane/Sunshine Coast as there's still a few things I plan on having done to the GU soon.

I'm also in need of a little help on getting the GU to RWCon so I can change the rego over :?.

I'm guessing I'll have to get a loan of some 2 inch springs & possibley an original zoorst as the 3inch Beaudesert doesn't have any mufflers so I doubt it'd pass the RW :roll:.

Any help, advice or ideas would be great ;).

ALSO!!!

I'm after someone to take me out for a run somehere local to show me what the Gold Coast has to offer :cool:.

Any takers :armsup:

Cheers
Joe :lol:

Yeah, FULL of unskilled workers :finger:.

That's why it's so easy for me to come up & get a job :D.

I lived in Gympy & Brisbane when I was younger so I guess you could say I'm coming home :armsup:.

it aint that hard and there are heaps of shops around too.

north is booming, but have a go in makay or even central, minning towns such as emerald & black water i just left emerald about a month ago, with the recent mining boom around the town, they can't put the houses up quick enough & arn't many carpenters to put them up either

but getting in emerald is a bit of a problem coz there is a bit of a shortage of accomadation :roll:

When are you coming up?

First thing you will need is a couple of decent refidex's (not those $2 from the chinese person)

Id be glad to give you a tour of brissy one day after I get my license, unless youve had your open for more then a year.
