Whats that next job you need to do on your 60 Series
For me now I’m driving the 73 Showcar is the rattles, after driving HP which is rattle free. The rear jump seats in the 73 rattle by flexing forward and back. Also the rear tailgate appears to rattle and I’m sure there is still one on the spare wheel carrier.
I did notice an easy fix on the jump seat by wedging something in the hole to stop it flexing forward / back. So for you fellow Patrols what your next pet hate and fix on the Patrol

Cool-
Bring your tools- while you're here you can re-do the header over my garage door so my garage expansion project can pass its final inspection...
Then, we can arm wrestle over the 5-speed.... or maybe rock-paper-scissors.

Re: Whats that next job you need to do on your 60 Series
I'm with Norville: everything. Just not all on one Patrol.
Dream Garage Patrol needs the fuel tank dropped and cleaned, connect the fuel lines, clean the carb and it should fire up.
Studly needs new holes drilled in the hard top to mate up with the new sides, and a rear side window installed.
Hadji needs the starter replaced (I think), the gas/petrol tank replaced, rear wiring harness replaced and a new instrument cluster installed.
Ozzie needs the rear tail lights installed, rear wiring harness repaired, side steps (hint, hint Swerve) and the wheels balanced.
Pot Farm needs the brake master rebuilt.
Limey needs to be driven.
Togo needs to be driven, and a bit of paint work.
RiverPatrol needs the doors hung, a gas tank skid plate, and the hard top secured over the windshield.
Punkin needs the front differential swapped out.
And then I can start thinking about paint and body work.

Beyond any hope for intervention

Why are there no pictures of Punkin or RiverPatrol in your gallery...?
What, did that foot surgery break your camera?
You also need to add one more task to your list:
"Take the header off of Ozzie, and ship it to moore_rb "
