Just a handle I use due to people have a green thumb and can grow just about anything.
Everything I grow dries up and dies brown.

Well I got some more lipstick on this pig.
I got the bottom end powder coated and assembled somewhat.

I got some Eastwood tank sealant and put that in her.
If you use it on a restore it will bubble up the powder coat and I would assume paint also.
The tank had like a thick coat of All Metal bondo in it from the factory.
It was peeling up so I scraped and bead blasted it all out.That’s why I sealed it.
Looks like it did a pretty good job. The question will it last.

I got some heatshrink tubing for the bar it took some work pulling out the kinks around the corners but turned out pretty nice. I used this stuff 7 bucks from amazon it seems pretty durable.

Finally got my replacement piston and it was correct.
I hope Lee pulls his stock and fixes the problem.
The new piston has MP on it, I wonder where that piston came from.
She runs pretty good and don’t look bad for a 125 buck pig.
I forgot the powder coat and blasting media so she is a 200 buck pig.
