73 Pig looking for direction

[PabloCruise]

Oh darn, no. From memory I know I have surplus whisker strip that I originally bought for inside and outside, and then only used for inside window wiper. I think I bought in 6' strips. I also remember surplus bulb seal for the sides of the tailgate opening. I may have surplus rubber for bottom of tailgate opening.
I will be off for a few days over Christmas, I can try to dig through my stuff.
What do you need/want?

It got relatively cold here, (~ -4 F), so I have not looked yet.

Fenders on!
Encouraging that I see it coming together, but so much left inside and all the glass and rubber..

 

[scrapdaddy]

Alright! Getting the paint done and body back together is the big one. The rest is just a whole of little stuff. Enjoy it.

Are you going to do 2 tone paint job, or just keep it white? Looks great, good job!

I'm probably gonna stick with all white, I was thinking about going maybe a factory light blue on that middle section above the fender line and below the windows later though not sure..

I've definitely got a light case of swine fever, it's not developed into the full flu version yet, but I'm starting to be on the hunt for a good runner for a second cruiser...

Pablo a Toasty - 12 degrees here yesterday morning.

Thanks Bob.

There's a few people hunting after parts diagrams. This is a great russian website that has exploded diagrams for everything. This link is for the 75-80 RHD with barn doors. If you go back you can go through and find just about any toyota from 1970 onwards.

Saw this today when I was trailering mine home. One owner w 64k Miles said the worker inside a random p&b shop. Said he needs some weatherstripping work done..haha go figure. Looks in amazing condition. Good inspiration as I'm heading home to work on mine!

NICE

I'd have been diggin' deep in the pockets.

Damn nice Pig.

Waiting on my windshield to get here and I'm working on little stuff. Dash cap, gauge bezel, and glove box door all getting a fresh gloss. Gonna see how the front blinker housing looks gloss black as well. Should look good with new lenses and trim!

All about the details! Did you get the windshield from Pro Source?

I was just about to pay the $450 to get it from Pro Source, then read a thread that recommended this local place in Dallas called Clear Vision Auto Glass and they had one they could ship from Phoenix for $250! I've got my fingers crossed that's it's gonna be right. They were super nice and helpful and offered to deliver it and install it for $120. I'm gonna wait til I get the cargo and upper tailgate rubber so I can get the headliner installed with everything. Let you know how it goes.

Did the windshield come in as advertised?

No. Haha. I waited for three weeks and when it was delivered it was about 4 inches too long every dimension. They were super nice about it, refunded me, and said they had it written down as a 93 so it was probably for an 80 series. It was a long shot but I sure was already spending that $100 I thought I had saved!
Anyway I went ahead and went your route and got one coming from the prosource fella on eBay.

New shoes today!
33x10.50 BFG muds with stock wheels painted factory spec grey.

Installing 1 inch lift shackles all the way around with Monroe heavy duty shocks

Finally have all the weatherstripping in hand--a 3 month chore.

Next week it's off to get the windows, headliner, and door linkages installed!
