Great stuff, some of my best road trips have been picking up Patrols. Yeah your out near Griffith so a biggish drive from Sydney to say HI :greetings-wavegreen: . I've collected G60's from Adelaide SA, Taralgon VIC, Melbourne VIC, Moss Vale NSW, Bega NSW, Windsor NSW, Bairnesdale VIC. Best was Adelaide for the Blue Ute, did 3200km in 39 hours, my front door to my front doors.

We need some more internal pics, we all thought te external bars look great, dont throw them out as if you dont want them, one of us will be queing for them, me included

Welcome Justin, that is a great looking rig. I'm always jealous when I see those southern MWB units and with a nice patina to boot...

Well, looks like I'm a little late to the party, but Welcome to 60Patrol! :text-welcomeconfetti: :D

I liked the looks of that Patrol when I saw it on eBay. Good to hear that you plan on making good use of it, and that it runs well. It looks like it could be a very trustworthy vehicle and generate some great memories. We're picture addicts here, so we need more :banana-gotpics:
