Australian 60 Series Registry

[Spudman]

Hi all

We are starting to see a lot of Aussies coming on board with their 60's and I'd like to start a registry of all of the Australians so we know who's around and also will encourage new members to join once they see how many Fellow Aussies are here.

To Moderators

Can we please have this listed as a Sticky up top, thanks.

So I'll start this thread off with a recent pic of my truck, needs a good polish but still looks pretty good.

Mine's on here somewhere, but here's a couple of more recent photos. Late 84 Standard model, 2H, 5 Speed, OME 2in lift, 285/75R16 Cooper STT's and a few ARB bits.

Based in Toowoomba, QLD these days.

Love the idea.

On top of this I would also like to see some Aussie Mud Clubs.

I'm not happy with the local ones here and I cannot justify the Toyota Landcruiser Club.

Yep by the PO at some stage, that was after a polish and from bout 20 meters away so...good from far but far from good, she's covered in scratches and the bonnet is fairly faded

 

[Crick60]

love the early 80's luxies.
I saw a fully resto'd 55 yesterday getting towed by a 200 v8 diesel sahara. To say I had LC envy was an understatement.

Thanks maat, I got a bit excited on the weekend thinking I had spotted your bus on the motorway outside of Brisbane - I'm guessing that given you're in WA, it was your doppelgänger. Deadset same paint colour and everything.

Similarly as niffa, mine looks good until you get within 5M or so, then you start to see the lantana scratches. The paint was pretty good on it, but I decided I was babying it too much and started to consciously drive it where I wouldn't have previously... hence the winch pictures.....

60s dont look right without some bush pin striping, dents, and some rusty bits for good measure

 

[niffa]

Mines got that in spades..just washed some week old mud off the rear qtr panel and found a fist sized dent..dammit

 

[Strick]

Heres mine to add!

Located in Sydney, would love to get a few together and go for a bit of a drive!

Strick is that a white lighting?

I always think that too when I see a turbo badge coupled with white flares.
I don't think I will ever see a white lightning in person.
