What have you done to your 60 Series Patrol this week....

[G60michael]

Hello everyone, even though I've been a bit quiet on the forum this year (Nothing Personal) I still love playing and driving my g60s , and also enjoy the forum and outer g60 community, and also on positive news on the weekend gone (8/10/16) I purchased another g60, I think this Is number 14

A Blue 1975 SWB Softop that spent its life as a farm vehicle in a dry region so has next to no rust, its body and paint work is in great shape and its pretty bloody original too, even has the dealership decal on the back of car

Only has 2 bits of rust both in drivers floor, rest is all surface rust which there isn't even much of that

here's a few pics, I haven't got it home as of yet.

Great score Michael! Congratulations.

It certainly looks in very good condition!

Loaded a couple bikes in the back. Stabiled and filled the tank(yeah baby, fuel gauge works nice) and drove up to Napa. Heading up was a little rough until the flat spots beat out of the tires. Swung by the Nissan dealership, hit the Java hut (oh yeah, no cup holders) then on to the bike shop. Dropped off the bikes, and headed home. Much smoother ride coming home, so ran it up through 75mph and it was still pulling. Yeah I chickened out, I don't know what my true speed is with the bigger tires is but 75 was too fast.
So after getting home my wife loaded in the Patrol and we went to lunch, and home depot.
All the gauges are running in the very very good range. Started fine after another long sit. Ordered seals for the transfer case. think it's just going to be a driver.
Pulls to the left while braking, so need to look into that. Needs wiper blades, new seat slider, all weather stripping, washer nozzles, you know the nickle and dime stuff.

Another thing I did was buy a composition book for each of my projects, I have enough hobbies that I chase my tail going from one to the next.

When you find the issue to the left pull when braking, would you please let me know the problem you find. I have the same problem.

Had a frozen wheel cylinder on the right side. Right drum is also out of round, so the shoes are backed off a little more so they don't drag. Nothing money and time wont fix. Oh yeah, I have little of either.

Got started on the front brakes on the 67 last night. After an hour or so of hitting the drum with a rubber mallet, the left one turned loose. The right side is being a little more stubborn.

Finally started working on the patrol. Got most of the Interior gutted, stripped sanded and por- 15'd a few items, cleaned 50 years of hand grime off some knobs... pretty productive few days.

Anyone have any advice for repairing the steering wheel emblem?

Starting your own project thread so we can follow the progress would be great. Your Patrol was originally yellow, very rare color.

Got the minion missile back from the transmission shop today. 24 hours of labor, plus all the parts that greg supplied from 4wdproducts in Australia. The new clutch is fantastic. After the ACL/Miniscus reconstruction 7 weeks ago, I'm finally at the point where i can move around a bit. Looking forward to getting to work on the Patrol.

Look, no leaks:


PTO installed. it had a slight crack in the case, so it had to be epoxied.


Old clutch. With the cost of the new clutch, I think I should think about having this one re-built. It's down to the rivets, so the flywheel was scored; they were able to buff it out, so it seems like we did this just in time.


old bearings


The PTO cover; I'm going to send this to Mattbob's dad so he can put it on the donor chassis where the PTO came from.

Glad to hear the knee is doing better.

Just acquired another G60 Patrol this weekend, cost me nothing except for a parts swap which I got the part for free to begin with anyway This is defiantly up there in the favorites, might even be my most favorite
