Woke up early and since the rest of the family was still sleeping, I had coffee at the cruiser. Adjusted the valves and installed the distributor.

Thats because you have built a Beautiful rig. If your 55 was in my garage I would grab a cup of coffee and stare at it until it was time to crack a beer!

For now, this is my coffee table

Little progress. Sanded primed and painted the valve cover.

Yes! I sold the fj80 and am back on the pig. Literally made the decision today. I was car shopping for a week before my wife (Yes my WIFE) reminded me that I had a Landcruiser that needed to be finished! Starting to work on a game plan to get it back together... maybe pig party 2021!

Oh thank God! 80’s - hmmph
Long live the Pig!

I don’t have any pics of any progress, but I am doing a lot of budgeting to see how far I can take this. Looks like just another $5k First is rust repair. I’m going to see if I can get a pro to do it. If not I’ll give it the old college try myself. Bought a broken welder and got it working the other day.

Just got my new Fox shocks with remote reservoirs! I had them custom painted yellow why there are only 3 I have no idea...

Went to talk to the body guy about repairing the passenger front floor pan. The guy’s shop is amazing. He is currently working on a Porsche 911 that will be a Singer look alike. Said he might be able to get to the pig in a couple of weeks! The quote seemed reasonable since I have a Bob patch panel that I bought off another member. The best part is, it will be done well as opposed to me hacking at it

Parts are arriving at my house! Just got the cargo window seals from SLO Cruisers and they look amazing! And the steering linkage kit from cruiser outfitters so I can get the pig on a trailer to take it to the body shop. One piece at a time!

 

[RUSH55]

Great to see some updates! Keep them coming!

My wife has noticed all the packages... window channel has arrived.
