Mechanic Recommendation - South Coast NSW

Post by gc190659 »

Morning all, new to the forum. I have a 1972 280SE 3.5 which I purchased a number of years ago in the ACT. It's restored and in very good order but has been in storage for a while. I'd like to connect with a mechanic in the Illawarra/Shoalhaven to get it serviced. Any recommendations or contacts would be appreciated.

Us, Illawarra/Shoalhaven is just down the road compared to the distance some customers drive. But we are booked though till late January 2018.

I bought it from a client of yours John who had it on your lot for sale. I would happily bring it up but it is missing/surging when accelerating under load. Changed the fuel, changed the plugs but haven't changed the fuel filter so might have a crack at doing that. If I can get it running ok I will bring it up for a service, my son lives in the ACT so good to catch up with him.
