Another 74 MWB

Post by 250g60 »

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?

Thanks,
I got it running yesterday and the engine ran sweet :D. 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.

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. :D

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!
Patrol On. :)

Congrats, next time centre it on the trailer better as little to much weight forward :)

I made that mistake towing number 1 home.

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
