More than 180 pictures of the restore process... enjoy!
Lets start at the beginning... here I am making the deal... July 23rd, 2006
I think the kid likes it...
On our way home with my new toy...
Here's some pictures before I did anything to clean it up...
Notice the repainted areas...
More repainted area and rust in the lower quarters...
Ick!!! more rust in the quarters...
A whole lot of buffing and waxing... now it's shiny!!!
Used a buffer and rubbing compound...
Lots of hand buffing required too...
Sure did turn out nice... My first look at what could be... Hmmmm....
Odometer shows 93,071 miles. This Pinto started its life as a pull behind attached to a
Winnebago and there was an A-Frame hitch attached to the front. The second owner cut
it off and his best guess was that it had 50,000+ miles on it when he got it.
Door panels are in good shape and so are all the door mechanicals...
Rear seat had been recovered and I have the matching material to redo the front seats...
Dash is in good shape but them seats have to go... need Pinto buckets...
Previous owner made a matching headliner but didn't install...
Here's a shot at the engine compartment... it does run but not very well...
