Another 74 MWB
Picked up another 74 G60 today, It has modified doors and looks sad but it is pretty solid, Im told it has had a new long motor fitted by the previous owner. I forgot how heavy G60's are, my GQ deffently new it was there draging it back from Sydney.

Congratulations! I remember seeing this one on Ebay. I commented that I could use the air intake that is bolted to the left side of the radiator.
What are your plans for it?

Re: Another 74 MWB
Thanks,
I got it running yesterday and the engine ran sweet
. I was going to use it for parts but after having a closer look yesterday it looks too good to wreck, might just tidy it up, register it and drive it around for a while, it would look pretty cool towing my old camper.

Re: Another 74 MWB
That is a common dilemma - buy it cheap for parts. Then you easily get it running and realize it's hard to kill something with so much life left in it.

Hi 250,
Good eye and good decision to not make it a donor. I had the same situation buying my 65 as a donor for a basket case 62 softy. The softy is on the back burner now and the 65 is going to live on soon!
....and welcome!

Congrats, next time centre it on the trailer better as little to much weight forward 
I made that mistake towing number 1 home.

Re: Another 74 MWB
Thanks Steve,
I think half the problem is the 4" lift in the GQ, works great off road but a little too soft for towing
