Re: Changes are happening
Congrats Miller!
I was hoping he was going to say he was opening a parts store with complete line of G60 replacement parts for the world, even rubber.

Re: Changes are happening
Worked out well for both of us.
I had been writing an ad on my PC, anyhow Miller called for a chat, I shared what I was doing and then he made an offer. Easiest car sale I had ever done
I still have alot of work getting OJ outa storage and chopping OJ in half to go on HP.

Re: Changes are happening
Congratulations Steve on making a tough decision. 
It all sounds reasonable. And I wouldn't be surprised at all if you announce the acquisition of another G60 sometime in the future. like maybe a father-son project. 
I think you might end up missing the usefulness of HP.
Way to go Tim! Excellent transaction! I am anxious to follow your Project thread.

Re: Changes are happening
I have a plan, thought I might make up a ute flat bed to sit over the stock rear tub of the 72. That way I can have a ute when needed and can abuse the hell of the tray.
biggest issue in Oz is it basically cost $1000 a year to keep a car on the road with rego/ insurance. Will most likley have the 72 fully rego'd $1k, and put the 73 on club rego, this as about $150 a year but can only go on club drives and the likes. At least this will work without big money outlay.
