Just putting this pic (taken by youngdub) of mine at Inters last weekend, for my archive. Trying to make a decision on what to do engine wise now, seriously thinking and reading about the 16VG60 conversion, but its no easy job and it ain't cheap !! Any advise welcome !!

16v G60.. hhhmm would be very nice.. have a look at this..

A 51K G60.....you Jammy sod!

 

I'd leave it as it is personally, a G60 with that few miles and all original is a rare thing.

 

Get a cheap old banger of a 16V if you want to mod one imo!

[carpoid 0]

Cheers guys - thanks for that link Bally, i've seen it before but handy to have it stored here !!

Funny you should say that Kev i've been thinking that today at work !! Seems a shame in some ways to mod a perfectly good G60 to that extent.

Can't make my mind up if i even want to do the chip and pulley etc.

Maybe a toothed belt S/C drive, FMIC and oil cooler will do it. Any other suggestions ?? Water injection maybe ??

Thought i'd show off my home made red tinted rear lights !!

 

 

And my Black/Gold Centre Caps !!

sweet lookin car i cant wait to get some tyres on my rs's and get them on

when you off to aussie then, i lived in brisbane for a year and love the place will be going back at some point - hopefully with my g60 keep posting info on shipping one, costs, time, .

i asked some guys in n.z. where i grew up and it seems almost imposible!!

good luck dude!.

[Kevin Bacon 5]

You could have cleaned it first you filthy mongrel :-)

 

Looking sweet my man....I like how you've done them.

Cheers cobbers. Car is being shipped next week with 'Karman Shipping', gotta love that name !! Its costing me £1500 for a 'sole use' container where i can fill it up with personal items at no extra charge. It takes a month to get there - which isn't bad considering ordinary sea-mail takes 3 months. I'll be biting my nails until November the 16th when it arrives !!

I'll keep the thread updated incase others have similar plans, PM me colourblind, if you think i can help ..........

[chaz g60 0]

1500 quid ... not bad man and do you know if theres any import taxes or other charges to get road legal???

they wont have a clue there either it'll be well funny when you can trash some of there v6's they wont see it coming!

i had a 4 litre v6 cortina estate over there 1975 i think complete with sun visor and nice vynal front bench!

tail lights look 8)

[Bally 0]

looking good m8..

 

do you run the BBS rims all year round?? I'd love a set of them rims..

[carpoid 0]

colourblind, Australian import taxes on most cars is 10% duty and 10% GST. Duty is paid on the customs value and GST is paid on the total of the customs value +duty+cost of shipment. So i've set aside another £1000 for this then 'rego' (tax, registration and 3rd party insurance) about £200 :roll: Still a little un sure on all of this and what the value of my car is over there. I'll update this thread once i've picked it up and paid for everything !!

Bally, cheers for compliment dude, i put the RS' on in March and where i'm going theres no need for winter wheels !! 8)

[carpoid 0]

Well, this could be the last time i see my car !! Unless they float that is !!??

Its on its way to Sydney Australia, where i should pick it up on November the 16th.............. look i cleaned it Kev !!!!
