G-Restorations are holding an open day at our premises in Poulton le Fylde near Blackpool.

https://www.facebook.com/events/388638204680625/

So come along and meet fellow G owners. Come and have a look Gs and chat to owners if you're considering G ownership .

Come and see what mods other owners have done,  I'm hoping to have several Gs with upgraded engines for people to see.

Open to anyone that has an interest in Gs members or not.

Sunday 21st June 2015    10am till everyone's gone.

Anyone planning on coming over, can you let me know so I have some Idea of numbers

Thanks Gordon

Have you had the pump upgraded, to get the most from your turbo it needs more fuel,  I have a Hartridge machine now so I can do it for you. 

Regards Gordon

Ah. That is good to know. I'll be honest, been having a nightmare finding someone who had worked on these old mechanical pumps. Ended up speaking to a guy from a place call feather diesels in elland and was going to take it up there next week. I'll call you tomorrow to discuss.

Re: Open day and gathering Blackpool Sunday 21st June

Big thank you to everyone who came over, mostly from Lancashire and Yorkshire, and one person made the drive all the way from that there London. I hope everyone left a bit wiser about Gs and gaining new friends in the G community.

I didn't take any photos because I forgot while talking to everybody, has anyone else taken any they can post up?

If I missed anyone's questions or if anyone wants any more info about anything, please post a question up here and I'll come back to you.

Thanks all

Gordon

Gordon giving us a lesson in pump tuning on his new machine/toy. These wing protector mats are now on my Christmas list I think. It was definitely worth the trip up to your workshop Gordon.

Hi, Gordon

A belated "thank you " for a most informative day (Denise was even taken shopping by Barbara )

 it was thoroughly enjoyed by us lesser mortals who only aspire to be G Wagen owners !

Originally I surmised a SWB model would replace the W124 estate and / or W201 2.6 , but after Sunday , maybe a LWB is a better option ( ideally fitted with an OM 606 turbo engine though  ??!!

Who knows ?

Thanks again

Mark and Denise Hodgkinson
