Pig progress begins anew

[Sporin]

Pig is back, braking much improved. 1 caliper still had some air in it and the rear drums were way out of adjustment. Certainly doesn't brake like a brand new car but not bad for one that's 33 years old.

Good to hear it was something simple!

Here piggy, piggy, piggy......


Anything happening? It's been weeks since I've had my bacon fix.

Dave's camping this week!

 

[Sporin]

Still haven't dropped the gas tank, was completely lazy on vacation.

Cash reward for anyone who gets this thing sold for me, I've got the next truck all lined up and I'm dying to get it.

 

[40Flipper]

(Please send cash reward to my home address.)

Maybe at some point but I've had a few inquiries so I'm just waiting right now and hoping something pans out.

 

[green40]

You are one sick man. : )
So what is it going to be next? a 40?

 

[Sporin]

top secret.

 

[40Flipper]

Bet it's a Jeep

 

[fogblanket]

no I bet its a 47 crew cab fresh from AU that the PO will own for like a week before selling it to Dave

 

[40Flipper]

I'd be offended if that wasn't the truth.

BTW, it's arriving in Baltimore on Saturday so should have it the weekend of the 16th. I really hope this thing is in good shape.

 

[Cruiser_Nerd]

I really hope this thing is in good shape.

Me too, because once you have it for a week, then Dave for couple months.................

 

[40Flipper]

Then I'll buy it back from him and sell it on eBay

 

[fogblanket]

if you try and sell that on eBay there will be a rebellion amongest the clan

Thanks to Gary the pig now has a non-leaky gas tank. I couldn't have done it without him, thank you Gary!

The tank was only held up by 3 of the 4 bolts so it bounced and put a thin stress crack at one of the other mounts. A bit of JB Weld and it's good to go. We remounted it solidly at all 4 points so it shouldn't be an issue again.

 

[green40]

Great! Bringing it Sunday?

 

[Sporin]

Maybe. Given how much ground we want to cover I may just drive down in the car and ride along with someone.

Yay

Boo

 

[Sporin]

I still might, I'm going to be driving it a lot the next few days. Everything works it's just a matter of feeling comfortable enough driving it to take it offroad. It's a beast.

I also still REALLY want to sell it so I'd like to not bash it up.
