Not really a fan of round tube bumpers either
But the potential is there for a really nice rig.

happens Seems to me that the firewall is very nicely preserved and original. Some folks do a better job of preserving good original stuff, because it makes no sense at all to dig that far into a project which you're going to sell. He didn't skimp on the build, he probably put his money into what needed to be fixed, and didn't touch structurally sound steel with the paint still on it. I personally think that this seller chose a very reasonable place to draw the line.
The new owner can paint the firewall if he thinks it will improve his enjoyment of the truck. Personally, I've got better things to worry about and most other people do too. Do we need to insinuate that corners have been cut, simply because this person took a more reasoned and careful approach to his build?
I don't think it reflects poorly on the truck, it's a beautiful truck.

Yeah, no, I’m not buying any of that. The firewall wasn’t painted because it’s a PITA to do right with the engine in the way, and they weren’t willing to pull the engine (and master cylinder, and clutch master, and lines, and all the other) to paint it right. Don’t even give me this “wanted to preserve” stuff!
If that was the case, they, he, or whoever wouldn’t have painted the inner fenders black!It’s a nice rig from the pics, but I didn’t look at all of them, and the fact this rig could only pull $17G is telling me there were more unfinished details with this thing. Without looking.
I can accept not every Pig is going to be a frame off, it can still have good bones without a full strip down resto. Lots of them die when taken apart to that point as they never go back together…look at some “projects” we have seen pictures of over the years that stalled after “every nut and bolt” didn’t happen.Yeah, no, I’m not buying any of that.

Also much farther back than 10yrs ago I don’t think there was much interest/market for a full resto Pig so financially it didn’t make sense to go down the rabbits hole?

What I’m wondering is if the paint is actually what they call “dip”. The outside looks nice and straight, but it kinda looks like the rear quarters were possibly cut or replaced? The angle is very straight along the bottom with a sharp angle at the bottom of the wheel well.
Anyways, the finish is very “satiny” which is what all the dip finishes look like.

Yeah agreed, at least it wasn’t bedliner.

It says painted, so I could be wrong there.
The inside of the tub is also not repainted.
I do like the upholstery work.
It is only my opinion that if you’re going to do a complete color change, you ought to go ahead and do it all. Not saying that this rig is not nice otherwise, if that makes sense.

The guy that built the $125,000 FJ55 could not be bothered with removing the sticker off the shackle.
I think that one was done by TLC in Vermont. I seem to remember it being a monster expensive build

Well Duh…you know how hard it is to get those stickers off!
Seriously though…what would you even DO with a truck that nice, other than clean it 
I like the "from california" .....so over emissioned?
Drive it on the trails and get some nice trail pinstripes of course!Seriously though…what would you even DO with a truck that nice, other than clean it
exceptionally pipedream pricing
