Hi all. This is my first post.

2 weeks ago I bought my first G - a 1990 463 300GE. Generally its in good condition, but I am planning a complete overhaul of my new beauty.

A friend of mine is just carrying out to minor spanner works and then I will start the build diary. pics comming soon.

Before I get started on her I welcome any comments and / or advise that will help me on my way. Looking forward to hearing from you all. James.

I would think that you only need to carry out routine maintenance and not a major rebuild. What are you thinking of doing? Give it a thorough service and drive it for a while first. Should be a good G

:cry: There may be a bit of a delay for the pics.

Unfortunately I need new rear shocks and springs before I get it back.

Fingers crossed, I should get it back for the weekend.

Cheers - James
