First Look: 1969 Nissan G60 Patrol. Can We Save Her?
The moment of truth in the Hokianga.
I’ve finally pulled the tarp back on the 1969 Nissan Patrol G60. It’s been sitting since the 80s, and the Far North elements have definitely left their mark—bracken growing through the floors and the bonnet hinges have given up the ghost.
But then, you find the gems: a door that clicks shut like it’s brand new, the original service manuals in the glovebox, and a transmission plate that looks untouched by time.
We dive into the engine bay today to see what we're working with. The oil looks okay, the radiator is dry, and the question remains... is she seized?
This is the start of a long journey to bring some 'Iron' back to the farm. 🛠️🐎
