Haven’t had much luck finding “money for nuthin’” and the chicks I’ve known haven’t come free. Well worth it, mostly, but certainly not free. And some have exceeded the $5,000 limit.
Pretty rare wheel stateside. Ended up with one in a pallet of wheels I bought a few years ago. Don't remember it being marked "Australia." Sold it for $60 to a friend completing a set. Likely could have got more outside of the "friends and family" deal.
Don't forget Ole Red or Blue...
Old Blue is truly unforgettable!!! As are you and Remy. Two certifiable lugnuts driving a stock Pig from New Hampshire to Colorado, mostly with no clutch and brakes on only three wheels, while sitting on a worn out bench seat...how could anyone forget? Out...
Sitting in my garages are examples of both sides of this discussion. I am the original owner of a 54-year-old fairly rare Porsche that is 99% stock (with the minor changes unnoticeable and easily reversed with retained OEM parts). Other than a 5,000 mile trip from Colorado to the length of...
Oh no!!! From the looks of things you’re damn lucky to be able to sit on the side of the road and cry, and after all you’ve put into it. Hope you find a way to resurrect it.
God forbid you lighten the load instead! Beefier axles and air bags are the answer. Who cares about back injuries? If some is good, more is better and too much is just about right.
Happy Trails...after years of advocating for N. Nevada I'm bummed that the 2024 Pig Party is most likely out...
For 16 years I’ve watched folks start from places I wouldn’t dream of in my wildest nightmares. You are at the top of my list with this Pig many of us would have questioned even being a parts vehicle. Incredible work…Onward!
I used a replacement gas filler hose recommended quite awhile ago by @PabloCruise. Can find the source or part number but perhaps TJ could come up with it. Worked perfectly...after trimming a few inches off one end. Correct bends in the hose.
Pretty typical rust spots...BobM and Remy could probably help with patch panels. If there's rust there, I'd also crawl underneath and check front body mounts, rockers and driver and passenger floor pans. Good looking Pig depending on price.
It was April of '08 when I drove my first Pig home from Prescott AZ. Should have kept it. That's original paint except for the passenger rear corner. One quarter-sized spot of rust in a tailgate corner. Paid $5950 and thought I overpaid! Somewhere I have some pics of our two Pigs together...
