This little piggy didn't come home (1 Viewer)

[island45]

Known about this for years. Sitting in a very mossy woods since 2004. I think I remember it was a 74. Crunched right rear quarter , tailgate in a V shape. All the usual rust suspects. I just had to look. And to top it all off, the out of state owner is not interested in selling it. No, I won't ask about selling parts off it. Just saying they are out there, and was a fun outing just to chase it down.

That is gnar!
You probably wouldn’t want to actually own it. More fun to just sip your coffee and watch it slowly return to the Earth.

Pig has grown its own Ghillie suit. Not sure any amount of linseed oil and fluid film is going to preserve that patina.

Don't know which project he gonna start 1st . Nice set of (guess!) Mirrors you Pervs

Like I didn't see those mirrors..... I've been on this island for 42 years. Was a landcruiser whore when I arrived. Pretty sure I know about most of them on this 58 sq mile rock. One thing I have learned is to not piss off the guy that is "gonna restore it when his kid is sixteen, or when he retires". Unfortunately this is anything but a 'high desert', and those who hesitate are lost.

I drive past the turn off leading up to this wreck about once a month. One time I even took the turn, went half way to it and turned around, congratulating myself on my restraint. I DO have a great '82 2f with trans and transfer, seats, and all manner of crappy parts from the 79 body I removed to build the foyota jalopy. I haven't actually asked the guy who owns it because....what if he says I can have it cheap? I wonder what it would look like pressure washed with my extra set of 33 9.50 15s mounted, sitting on the deck of my trailer? Run Gary, Run.

I like the 'he who hesitates' line... keep asking 'why'... change it to 'why not'...
