60Patrol

Ok, caught the bug again. Been cleaning up the shed and thinking I'll spend a bit of time on the old girl. Put her up for sale and had lots of likes but no takers. It'll be the death of me but the resto is a goer again. Silly me.

Maybe

Time and health has beaten me, this old girl is up for sale. Not sure what she's worth but I spent $1500 on all the fibreglass bits. Will respect reasonable offers

I thought life was great being kid-free, no mortgage, no wife.......then I bought a Patrol and tried to stick F/Glass panels on it. Bugger!

Found some old pics of my 71 G60H from a fishing trip up Stocko beach back in '98. She was totally original down to the tools wrapped up in the bag within the original toolbox under the seat. Fold down seats in the back and dual fuel tanks with 3 fuel filters and a "tank 1- tank 2 switch"....

"odometer has not worked since it was brand new, missing a gear in speedo from factory"

That's gotta make it a collector's item.

Just been doing some research on my motor for a possible rebuild in the future. It's a 253H high compression out of a HT or HG Holden. These were produced from '69 to '71. I'll average that out to 1970. So what I have is a 45 year old V8 in a 38 year old body which weighs in at 1900kg tare with drum...

Think mine was sprayed with rust-accelerant

You're all nuts

Mmm, comfy seats. Looks good but I struggle to see the point of the high roof, didn't see a bed in there.
