Logo's 1974 G60 Nissan Patrol Discuss away here Logo's 1974 G60 Nissan Patrol tips tricks and possibly just some cool upgrades you think would look wicked

So here it is I thought I might as well get a page ready for her while she is stuck in a dock somewhere in Victoria. Logo's 1974 G60 Nissan Patrol Discussion As the title says this is my new (old) 1974 G60 Nissan Patrol This thing has been registered in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and hopefully soon to be Western Australia. Some casual little details about it from the previous owner/s It was engineered with a Holden 308 5ltr V8 something like 20 years ago, its backed by a marks 5speed gearbox, has disc brakes all around. While the last owner had it he professionally got all the rust cut out and replaced. replaced all the wheel bearings, rear diff bearings and seals, replaced the clutch and has a brand new exhaust. Completely reconditioned Rochester quadrajet carby, 5 new maxxis mud terrain 33s and a custom more durable offroad matt beige/brown paint. He also actually metal fabbed an air dam instead of some bogan fix the previous owner before him made up. Which well also has its issues... He installed a highflow thermostat. So in all reality this thing actually gets too cold which causes the automatic choke to somewhat get stuck on for a bit longer wasting fuel like no tomorrow through that beautiful V8 idle. This accompanied by size 73jets in the carby which he has a set of 71s which might help with a bit of fuel economy along the way. Rigged an electric fuel pump because.... engine thirsty. He tried to grease the rear bushes because of a squeak which he replied... I think I made it actually louder as they loaded it on the transport truck. Has a bunch of spares, all the badges, interior bits and pieces, spare hubs, drive shafts, full set of fulcrum bushes etc. He sussed some original seats from an older model so they made compliance in Victoria so he could actually pass the pits and also they are worth a bit of money. Which helps me even get close to passing this thing over the pits in WA. (somewhat pretty strict on any mods) Door rubbers are apparently a bit loose need some glue to stick them back on. Also as like any straight pipe into a fuel tank they tend to back splash with the speed the new pumps spew out liquid gold. He was also kind enough to be like hey i forgot some stuff in the shed like back up touch up cans and a tub of the paint with the code still on it. Also some spares, because who doesn't love spare old stuff that doesn't exist anymore. So... Heres the bad thing. I bought this and paid for the transport even with them giving 20mins to the guy who lives 50mins away to pick it up... its sitting in some big shed waiting till the 3rd of May to be sent by boat to WA on the 8th. I want the precious. Give me the precious. Here are some pictures i've stolen from him and one of it being dragged onto the truck. Discussion will be added somewhere in here

Meet 'Old Red'. I have always been a real fan of the old Toyota Crowns. I would look out every now and then for them. Especially the wagon but hey seem to be pretty hard to find. I have own 2 other cars from '74. A ford Escort and an HQ Holden Premiere. Being a tiger (born 74) myself, when this one came up I was pretty keen to see it. Old Red is pretty special. No modifications, straight body with all interior lights and buttons working. Central locking is all good also. Drives like a dream. Engine is pretty good for a 41 year old car and just needs a little here and there to keep it tidy.
