TPC's G60

**TPC** · 14th November 2016, 06:06 PM

I have got myself a G60, it is a 1976 soft top (almost no top) and is stock standard.
It runs and drives but needs a bit of work before I can get it on the road.
Will probably start with fixing the brakes and exhaust, check for leaks and change all fluids and then see how it runs & stops.
I am sure as I start to look I will find more things that need attention so I will have to be patient, not one of my strong points.
No plan for a new paint job in the near future but will get a new canvas roof.

That's awesome Tony, MB and I have chatted about restoring one for fun, good times and cursing ahead

Nice one Tony. Hopefully one day I will be able to have room to do something like this. Be sure to take heaps of pics along the way. Which I am sure you will.

Ahh, smell that, burnt asbestos and old gearbox oil. Cool project car, Tony. Can't wait to see it on the dunes at Swan Lake.

Nice Tony!! I would absolutely love a G60 to burble around the bush in! One problem though. Gotta get rid of some toys or buy a bigger place!

Join a club and chuck it on heritage plates (if they have that in SA?). My club-plated road bike costs me $70/year for a 45-day permit (or maybe 90-day, can't remember, I don't fill the logbook up) and about $50/year for full comprehensive insurance with agreed value by RACV!! Makes a cheap hobby rather than paying full rego and insurance costs.

I gather being standard it's got the P40 motor ? Just as a base, when we did the border track, the GU cost $194 in diesel for 1800 ks. The G60 ? $500. Happy travels Tony.

I was impressed when I saw you used the G60 for the Border Track.
Have had everybody tell me how thirsty they are, will probably mainly do short drives into Adelaide Hills and up the river.
