Looks like fun!
Are you out prospecting?
How do you turn it around? Do you need 2 people so you can lift off the tracks?

Awesome! Congrats! Where did you find her? The Pig, not your wife...
put the battery back in and it fired right up...ok... 3rd short crank burst...
Prospecting. Always on the look out for a heart of gold.
Plans to turn it are to use a jack at the C G. I welded a small pipe cut off to jack into and then tip/ turn it about. Jack I brought was too small so a two man horse around was in order. A reversing gear would be the ticket.

Off to a J. Buffet concert at Irvine amphitheater circa 1996. Never made to show. Parking lot scene was just too much.

LANDSHARK!!!
What were you grinding on the 70 series springs? I thought they were plug and play?
You moved the rear shackle hanger as well?

Picked up an old school Con-Fer 5'x6' rack for my Piggie today.
Holy s*** it's heavy.
Holy s*** it's heavy.
Two weeks and 2,600 miles later, we're back home as of Monday evening after touring UT, NV, CA and that sliver of AZ between Mesquite and St. George. Only to jump in the wife's X5 for an overnight to Pueblo to buy a birthday dinner for an aging relative. Let's just say the driving experience in the BMW was slightly different.
All those miles reinforced my conclusion that the best of the many mods I've done while building the Frankencruiser was the install of the late model F-150 captains chairs (complete with adjustable lumbar support and built in shoulder belts.) Pretty comfy compared to experiences on the factory front bench on 600 and 900 mile jaunts in my original Pig. Second would be the mini-truck power steering. Third would be the Ranger overdrive (downgraded only because of the noise, which thankfully seems to lessen considerably around 70-75 mph.) A few surprised looks from folks in the right lane when we passed them on the Interstate.
Lots of thumbs up and smiles along the way, which made up (mostly) for the 24-hour layover in Baker CA to get the exhaust manifold replaced and having to buy a new battery while in Ocean Beach. Thankful to be running the SBC...might probably still be stuck in the middle of the Mohave looking for an F exhaust manifold.
Had some fun in the backcountry of Death Valley and doing the middle third of the old Mohave Road. We'd done the eastern third previously and the unscheduled adventure with the exhaust manifold forced us to delay the western third until next time. Next stop Cruise Moab, then the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and the Pig Party in Rico. In between, a 914-6 trip beginning Memorial Day weekend at a PCA event in Santa Fe, then on to Phoenix and Ocean Beach again for our granddaughter's birthday.
Something about road trips in old cars...

Glad to hear you're coming to Cruise Moab. Baring any big problems we'll be there. Got to love road trips!
Decided to clean out the cab...
In prep for an interior respray and some real seat risers

What are you gonna respray it with?
Treat rust then seal seams and build bucket risers then prime and paint. Prolly put some noico deadener down and cover the floor with some trail tailor bulk vinyl. From there I'm going to do a headliner and some sail panel trims sling with shoulder belts and fj60 seats
