New pig owner! 1974 green/white pig (1 Viewer)

[DSP979]

In March 2021, I posted a want ad.

Jeremy (FJ1111) answered. I passed at the time, and sent the lead to Pigeaten. After looking at rusty examples, i told Pigeaten that I'll pick up the 1974 from him.

I did a little search, and found that Norcalcruisers (on IG) found this in Dec. 2020.


I picked up the pig in October 2022.

Anyhow, I did a "will it start" video on youtube:

Happy to finally be a pig owner!

Thanks, all!

Added brake fluid (clutch master was dry) and clutch works. Will need to bleed the system, but cross 1 off the "does it work" list.

Front cup of the brake master cylinder had fluid but rear cup did not. Tackling the brakes next. Ordered a brake resetting gauge for the drum brakes. Trying to work smarter, not harder. It arrived last Friday. I will post an update when i get to it.

Made a new alternator plug since my rig didn't come with one.
