Gday all. I have just joined the site as it looks too good and informative not to. Unfortunately I found out on the weekend that my trusty 60 series has dropped a piston or set of rings and needs a rebuild.
Was very surprised at how much parts are for these not to mention the day light robbers (many diesel mechanics in the Brisbane area) and the ridiculous prices quoted to fix the old girl. Starting at 3k and up to 12k. I kid you not. I had a couple of colourful discussions with a few of them. I only paid $7500 for it and I refuse to pay that again to rebuild a 21 year old motor.
So I am in the hunt for old 60 series of any condition to get my hands on. I can pick them up from pretty much anywhere on the eastern sea board for the right price. I'm after vehicles for free or small cash outlay going or not. I need some other parts for my truck but when I have them I'll donate parts to those that need them.
Contact me anytime, thanks a lot, Jake
