Excellent post! I don't find it boring at all.

Very rare to find a G60 that has not only been so well maintained but the maintenance has been documented.

you're doing a fantastic job repairing all of that rot. That looks like quite a bit of labor. Most would have given up after the first or second spot. Great job! You're going to end up with a very worthy G60 when you're done.

That's something I love about old cars, and old 4wds in particular - they have a long history, and every log book entry, bumper sticker, ding and dent gives a hint as to what they were up to long before they came into my life.

cheers,
