Ha ha yes, the rats or mice have made a house under there, when I get it home it will get a thorough cleaning, which will be very satisfying. Hopefully the head will be ok with a freshen up.
Not sure yet when it was last registered but it has been where it sits for more than 30 years. There appears to be some blue paint underneath, so I would say it's been painted single colour at some stage. Will know more once I start cleaning it up. Hopefully I can find out more about its history
Just bought another pig after being away from them for a while. It's had a couple of hits but is quite rust free. Going by the Vin of 10221 I'd say it may be the 35th one made.
thanks, yeah.. i just re-read through and checked out another thread. big decision to make, weather to mod a new floor to future proof any upgrades before paint..
due to covid, project has really slowed to a snails pace. Hope to get some paint on it in the next few months. Doing lots of small things and getting all the details right before paint. Some final shrinkage underway on the roof. Still have to install captive nuts for internal braces.
thanks for that. i dont have a bell, will have to hunt one up. are you posting up any of your split case conversion? i have an A440 here with a split case on it; heard the auto ones are better?
ha ha .. thanks for your honest input. So now i might be on the slippery slope.. install the 4 speed or go straight to the 5 speed? Hopefully 4 speed can go in with minor mods? any tips on what to look out for from 3 to 4 speed? thanks
