So it's been about 8 years since I picked this old girl up and she's been slowly rusting ever since - but I finally got off my arse and actually did something. It's not much - but it's a start!

I'm planning to video it so I've got a record when it comes to putting her back together, as well as for a bit of fun, and as a way to keep myself encouraged and motivated.

So let's see if a computer geek can restore an old G60!

In this un-thrilling episode I remove the radiator and front panel and pull out the wiring loom.
