Yeah, ill dig it out for you.
It seems I am going to have to pass on this pig. Electrical appliances in my home must have just ran out of warranty as they are crapping themselves.
If anyone else wants it let me know, im happy to grab it and store it here for someone if they want..its in a wrecking yard though need to get it soon if someone weants it.

Was back at the wrecker today getting some parts for my 45. Couldnt see the piggy so I asked the old mate about her fate. 
He took me out the back and there she was hiding behind a big old bus
. He said not a part has been removed.
He said he would take $500. The roof is rusty, he said I was crazy.
I really need it like a hole in the head, and dont have the $$ atm, but I really really want a pig. The mrs will get the s***s, and I have a lot of ""resto"" projects in my yard that never get anywhere.
It just seems as if the poor thing is crying out to be saved.
If she had a tailgate, it would already be in my driveway.
The doors are just plain ugly, and belong on nissans.
Is it hard to convert from doors to gate?
Someone please talk me into buying this
If any mudders want it, im happy to store it for the time being.

It sounds like this Pig is speaking to you...
Don't jeopardize your marriage or finances, but if you can swing it - save this Piggy!
FWIW, I like the amby doors.
My mother-in-law and sister-in-law tell my wife that the Cruiser hobby is a better alternative to me hanging out in bars with women of questionable morals. Cruisers keep me busy, off the street, out of trouble...
Good luck!

500 is a bit better but id have to drive down from brisbane 
how ever id think about it...... pitty there isnt a bench seat, im now hunting for one of those do you want any of the parts?? id think about buying it with you if your only issue is the finances. i wouldnt need the AC i already have 2 units. or the rust, i got plenty of that too. wouldnt need/want the 2F, im going diesel. its ages away (15hr drive which makes this a pipe dream probabily) but would be a cool road trip/ maiden voyiage for my pig (the hazard box) when i get her on the road soon and a good chance to meet another pig owner
it HAS got:
FF diff.
AC
rust........
retro style sun visor.
duel battery (redark style auto isolator relay?? )
long range tanks
good original steering wheel
Rust......
now a few questions... i kow you prolly wont know these answers and dont really need them but IF your there again take a look at a few of these...... no pressure, realisticlty it is prob too far to come, but i am due for a driving holiday
does it have or what condition is:
4 speed?
4 wheel drums or disc front?
PS??
hows the chrome on rear view side mirrors, and the door handles?
is that a stock radio in the dash??
int. door grab handles??
dash cover?? the glovebox lid looks good?
what about a rear heater?
the rear bumper looks ok, bit of paint??
the front valance just below the grill straight and relativly unrusted?
it would be a travesty to knowingly let this go to scrap hehe but if its too much effort or not interested in buying and scavenging dont bother yourself

Hey Oinker
Yeah a bench seat would be good, a bloke had one and a heap of doors for sale on ebay recently, auction finished while I was away, and I never saved a link, Hope he puts them up again.
4 speed good, has an aftermarker transfer though, (im bidding on a 4 speed box with t/f on ebay atm)
Front drums
No PS
Mirrors aftermarket, handles good
Not sure if radio is OE but I doubt it.
Grab Handles good, (you can buy these on ebay brand new and cheap)
Dash cracked, glovebox good
has rear heater, unsure of cond
bumper good,
front valance good
there are a couple of 55's on ebay near you atm to let you know
I have an EK Holden Station Wagon, that I need to sell if you know anyone that wants one, I really need to be rid of it to buy this. My yard seems to be turning into a used car lot, it seems if you buy one old holden or Cruiser, you just cant stop buying more!
I want a 55, the longer I wait to get one, there rustier they all become.
You should come down for a road trip. That would be cool.
get sixtysguy to come up from tas, and all go for a cruise
Maybe we should start a Aussie Pig owners club, and all meet somewhere once a year for the Pig Nationals

the national aussie pig muster sounds like fun
unfortunatly this pig sounds like it may not be good candidate for me to save... like you said there is one up here already and they come up every so often.
