So far I’m in $2500 and always have wanted a Pig.
Some questions you are going to need to ask yourself before you tear it down much further.
What is your ultimate goal with this pig?
How much of the work are you willing or capable of doing yourself?
How much money and time are you willing to spend and is that a realistic number to get to your ultimate goal?
You have a few options at this point and these are two of the best examples.
Patch the body together to best of your ability and with some help from some friends keep this pig running and go make some life memories driving the wheels off it. @wngrog has use spray foam, chunks of steel and spray paint to patch his body back together and built an iconic pig that most of us would be proud to call our own.
Builds - The Warthog - 1977/73 combo
Put a big chunk of your time and money in the kitchen sink then throw that at your pig and tear it completely down and restore it and then go make some life memories driving the wheels off it. @scrapdaddy has set the bar for what can be done given enough time, money and ability and again built an iconic pig that most of us would be proud to call our own.
SLOW 71
If you look through those two build threads you’ll see that finding an old street sign and pop rivet it to your floor to keep your feet on the inside or putting your body on a rotisserie and replacing the entire floor with custom one off patch panels are both right answers, the best pig is one you can drive everything after that is secondary so if you keep your goals within your time, money and ability then your pig has the potential to be another great one that most of us would be proud to call our own.
