Evening all, while is haven't had much time to be out enjoying and driving the G60's about due to working and then jobs around the far, but its all good i haven't given up on them, and in fact the collections grown significantly over the last few months with 8 More Parts cars piling up in my paddock
About 6 months, I got abit bored and decided to chase up a G60 that was about an hour away abandoned in the Bush, figured it had some good bits
so after Putting out some letters in nearby mailbox's I made contact with the owner, told me its been there the 20 years since he has has the property and dont even know how or who put it there
he said she's Stuffed but you can have it if you want it
so i took up the offer, and while its probably one of the biggest piece of crap I've ever had, actually im sure it was ha ha, it did have some great bits to offer, the tow truck driver even made me sweep down his tray afterwards
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not Long after My mate Neil, who you've read about on here before, a good mate who lives just up the road who has a g60 farm truck and had a couple of others over time, said to me to come and take away his old G60 that he retired about 18 months ago that he has used for the last 15 years to run his Saw bench and Welder. She was a 1976 wagon made into a Ute, and while she's not the most pretty thing out there bit beaten and worn out engine but still runs and drives, she has some good Rust Free Panels barring a couple of dents, Great Diffs and transfer/gearbox
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And then another good mates dad had an old g60 he got to try and fix up, but when it was worse then then he thought he pushed it out into the yard and it sat there for a fair while then he said to me if i want it i can have it, so i took it
She was rough as guts, gun metal grey SWB 1976 model with a ford falcon EFI 250 Cross-flow engine conversion, she also had the H260 rear diff upgrade, Got some good stuff off it, great diffs and drive line, lots of good body parts like handles switches window regulators ect ect, body was cactus
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shortly after a good long time mate of mine who lives about 5km away was having a clean up of his property and he was getting rid of some old cars, he had a g60 and said to me come and take it away, so i did
1977 SWB, fiberglass Guards, Great motor in it, other then the running gear, shes hasn't got much body wise, but free and good drive line.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then about a month ago, went to check out a G60 a couple of hours ago, had carby issues years ago, so they pulled the Air Filter oil-bath off and never put it back on, water got down inside the Carby and filled the engine with water, such a shame and could of been prevented if they just had of tool 2 seconds to put the cover back over it at-least
anyway Scored it, then got her delivered. Great Drive line and interior bits, some under-bonnet goodies still like air snout for heater ect, seat frames are good though they need upholstery, great glass and lots more, 1974 SWB
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then only a couple of week's back I scored this old Beast, 1974 Black LWB Ute, Bloke about 2 hours away had it, but it was to rusty for him to bother trying to fix it so instead he contacted me seeing if i was interested in buying it, he sent me some details, and his price and said he I can have the car and he will deliver it for an all up total of $150, i said sold. Runs well, needs a tune tho, some great bits, alloy tray, solid original seats, good diffs and gearbox, another good win
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And Last weekend Home came a couple of more G60s
I got these from the same bloke as a Pair, the Ute is a genuine 1 Owner 1968 model, his dad brought it brand new and used it for many many years for there saw milling company, then she was driven to her final resting spot where she had sat for the last 30 years when rego ran out in 1990. The other is a 1971 MWB wagon, Last registered 2005, but the rolled her into a bank and then she was towed into the bush and thats where she sat ever since. The Ute still had its toolbox in the blokes shed, still has its crank handle behind the seat and the owners manual in the glove box, the wagon also was lucky to still have its crank handle in the back.
However as rough as they are, there very complete and will offer ton's of great parts, best of all i scored the Pair for a bottle of Bundaberg Rum set me back $40, dont often get deals like that anymore these days.
Went out there Last Saturday to unload the stuff off the Ute's tray and drag the wagon out of the bushes ready for collection the Next Day, and also load a spare motor onto the back of the Ute that they were given many years ago
The Skidder made light work of hauling these old G60s from there previous resting spots. i drove out there in my 1970 SWB as you can see in the background, The fella who had the g60s made some really nice comments about my old SWB and couldn't get over how good it was, and also enjoyed having a good yarn about some of the memories he had as a young fella in his old mans g60.
And Finally The next day (Sunday) had arrived and me and a couple of friends headed off for the day to collect them
and finally there home so here some more pictures for the picture lovers
Moore_rb did an excellent writeup on how the brake lines should go and I just followed his lead. Rear to the stock T, fronts to the stock soft line. Once installed and everything was tightened down I used the time honored tradition of trial and error to get it just right. Brakes are firm, stops on the first go, and I feel
