My new to me 1976 Pig.

[TOBASH]

Well, she arrived last night with severe rear tailgate damage and other damages too.

Damage that was not there when she was placed on the truck in Denver.

I'm pissed.

Refer to my thread (post # 9) for some pictures of the tailgate damage:

I'm pretty pissed as this is not a great start to what will be a pain in the ass restoration.

My plans were to plop in a 3B and 5 speed.

Now I need to also buy a new rear hatch. Anyone know what the prices are for rust free rear hatches? Blue and white preferred.

I'll be in touch as there will be lots of questions and pics.

F__K!

It will be okay.

I know this is a less than ideal start, but you already have Pighead's offer to help, that means quite a bit.

Just move on to the fun of being a Pig owner!

That is wrong in soooooo many ways. Did they offer any explanation when it was delivered? Regardless, don't let it get you down. Just start taking it one piece at a time.

Agreed. Time to quit whining and time to roll up my sleeves.
