[fjdaveinoz]

Am looking at buying this pig
Is on Ebay.au atm for 99c Starting bid.

Is only 30km from my home, so I took a look yesterday. Will bid until I win

3/77 model
Usual Rust on floor at body mounts, a bit in the front of the bonnet, and bottom of doors.
Roof gutters have been replaced, but not preped properly, resulting in surface rust under some bog

Rear window doesnt wind up (manual winder type)

Missing headlining
taillight surrounds (chrome bits)
one number plate light
emblems
a few other minor bits
Wheels have been replaced with those of a hilux, which is smaller diameter and wrong offset.

Here are some pics
I cant wait to own a piggy again!

Cool, hope nobody else bids on it!

What is the business on the left hand side of the engine with the hoses onto it? LPG system?

 

[fjdaveinoz]

Yeah, i hope noone else does either!
It was on LPG, but the tank has been removed. Still as the mixer etc, so I should only need to buy a tank to get it going on gas again, if i can be bothered.
It also has factory A/C. You may be looking at the compressor.

How is yours going?

Bidding is already up to $300. Starting to run away from what id hoped to spend. Looked at it again this arvo. Is missing starter motor, rear window has been down for a long time, and starting to rust rear cargo area, plus all 4 doors need work and needs a new bonnet. r/h/r quarter panel is full of bog, and inners are full of water, brake and clutch pedal go straight to the floor
Plus one of the rims only has 2 wheel nuts on it and is sitting at a 45deg angle. God knows how long kids have been bashing around with it like that.
I can buy one registered for $1500.
I doubt the other bloke bidding has even looked at it, he may get a shock when he see's it in person...
the more i think the $1500 is way better value.

Watch out for the roof rust - can be a pain to fix correctly.

Must be the aircon gear then. I ended up pulling the LPG out of mine, didn't seem to be worth the $$. Mine goes in today for the Rego inspection. It failed a few months ago, but all of those issues are now rectified, so it should pass!

Manual Cranks

Just curious if any of the Aussies have posted pics of the crank and inner working guts like Lil' John's recent post?? Would be interesting to see what it looks like.

Edit: I see that Ige once asked but no pics
