Re: G60 Build South Africa
Installed an Aluminium Radiator over the weekend to keep the V8 cool.
When the fan started to cycle at 76°C (which happen to be the thermostat setting) I disconnected it.
Let the temp rose to 90°C and reconnect within minutes it was back on 76.

Re: G60 Build South Africa
Safety is a big concern so we constructed a roll cage with bucket seats.
A four point harness to be added for a tight strap in in case of a roll over.

Thanks.
The very reason for the H55 compactness and the overdrive 5th gear.
Also the drive shafts in the same position as on the Patrol.

Re: G60 Build South Africa
Rust ate away at the 50 year old Patrol. Cut out some rusted panels and replaced them
