New Pig owner - the SilverPig

[Stormer]

So, to my wife's regret, I am now the owner of a 1972 FJ55. She has watched our collection of older Land Rovers grow over the past few years with increasing dismay so was not altogether thrilled with another addition. I am sure the SilverPig will grow on her on the drive home from NC to CT.

For now, I'm just going to enjoy it and do some basic things like finding a passenger side mirror and disc brakes. In the long run, the SilverPig will return to two-tone beauty.

Good looking pig, body looks really clean! Keep your eye out for people parting rigs for the mirror, you can use pretty much any '76-'89 discs to convert -

Great looking pig. Not good looking. I am jealous.

Very familiar looking.

Very nice! Congrats and welcome.

Welcome to the group and the guys are right. You got a really nice looking wagon.

When you have the time, post up some interior shots.

 

[Stormer]

Will definitely be adding more shots. Scheduled to collect some time in next couple weeks.

 

[Delancy]

Will delete, but knew I'd seen before.

























Nice.

No pics of the power steering set up, but a big plus it's already done.

Wasn't this listed as OE AC?

Man, I'm a two tone guy all the way, but that's got to be the best looking single color pig I ever seen.

Cool! Now that you have a Land Cruiser, instead of another Land Rover, maybe her mind will change. Cruisers do that to girls.

Delancy, You can leave the photos up. I am looking forward to taking some more and sharing with the group.

Thanks for all the kind words. It's going to be a very fun rig and hope to get to know more of the people here.

 

[BigRed40]

Wow, that thing looks great. Good find.

 

[davegonz]

Can you post up a pic of the headliner? Looks good.

Where in NC did you find it?

 

[Stormer]

It was in Wilmington, NC. It was listed in a few different spots over the last 6 months.

Welcome to the sty! Great looking Pig! Just be aware you have a case of swine flu now - there is no known cure, but its seldom fatal, and you will have the greatest support group there is - right here with the IPPS! Enjoy!
