A young mate of mine is thinking to pick up a G60 off a family friend of his....probably for as little as $100.....so im guessing it needs some work.
He has asked me weather or nots it’s worth the effort to bring back up to road worthy. And keep as a hack and beach runner. I have mentioned that I would need to have a good look so I will go with him to have a look this weekend.
Would it be worth it?
Are they an easily worked vehicle for two non-mechanically inclined guys to hack up?
What are common problems with this model?
I’ve been searching the Nissan thread for some info. (Mainly e-bay threads….that’s not tech.)

Very easy to work on, and their main problem is their age

these things are animals, piss easy to work on theres nothing to them, there are fairly simple little trucks, tuff as nails but rust is a big factor, have a look at the rails for rust , front gaurds, cabin floor, a pilar, the body work is simple and not to hard to fab up new bits plus you can throw a heep of mq/mk parts in it

for $100 could he go wrong? even if he buys another one for spares for $500 he would have something usable cheap, and learn how a car works while at it.

Very easy to work on.
The big gotcha would be rust. Other than that... well, you know what I think if you look at my sig line

worst atributes of a g60 is terrible fuel econamy, 3 speed box, and lack of spares.
all of these are easily cured tho with a lil research n effort
and they have awesome lowrange. tough as nails and will go almost anywhere with a few mods
