75 Wagon Project
« on: December 13, 2009, 07:04:48 PM »
Even though I don't know what we are going to do with this wagon, I figured I would start a project thread on her!

Here she is at her old residence.


Getting to her parked at her home for a month!


Some of her damage,




Dumby me forgot to take before pics of the inside! I can tell you that if I did all you would have seen is some brown seats and all, it was covered in years of dust!!

Here is hubby blowing out the inside! This is after we pulled the carpet and all and vacuumed it out once!



View from the rear.



Here is a pic of the top of the rear seat! The bottom doesn't look bad either. Just need to see if I can soften up the vinyl a bit!!



Here's the front after we blew it off! Still looks pretty dusty!



View of the back.



Can anyone tell me how many miles are on this?



I know I already have these pics on another post but I figured I would include them in here too, since this will be the thread I post about the car from now on!!  ;D

Motor pic



The lovely wiring loom! These were supposed to go to the headlights! LOL




The plan now is, once the weather gets a bit drier, we will power wash the whole car, inside and out! After that, not sure where we will go next! LOL Never know what hubby will want to do on it! LOL  I am kind of thinking of making her the pieces and parts car! Meaning that if the door needs to be replaced, don't paint the donor. If the fender needs to be replaced, don't paint the donor! So when she is all done she will be all different colors! LOL Not like we can't change our minds and paint her later down the road!

Will post again once we do something else to her!!

Wagon ho for sure Kim! :D

She's a beauty! Love the color, jealous of the V6, but I've never played with a 2.0 like what's in my wagon, so I've got an adventure. Maybe you can help me out with her a bit! :)

Looks like we both have some wiring to troubleshoot and figure out to get the lighting to work. :lol:

ok dave you have me pegged. really have the itch for a wagon. problem is i have to finish the 65 mustang for my boy, which is still a lot of fun. but puts the wagon out of reach for awhile. but its ok the mustang will keep me busy and will have good company on the restore.

There ya go! Get that Stang done and you'll have time for a Wagon! I won't have much time to work on my own for awhile, but for $150, I couldn't pass up the offer. I think Kim is in a similar situation. She'll get all of her ponies on the road and in great shape, she's just saving them all from the crusher before she looses her chance to bring back the Pinto.

That being said, bring all of your Pintos to the show Kim! We need all we can get! :D

Bath Day
« Reply #6 on: January 02, 2010, 03:21:25 PM »
Today was bath day for the 75!! You should have seen the mud run out! LOL

You can see a before pic of the motor a little further back in this thread, but here is an after pic!



How many of you wash your Pintos like this??











Now look at this dash shot compared to the dash shot back up in the thread a bit!



Now I just need to take the door panels off so I can clean out all the dirt a junk out of the doors so they will drain better.

At least we can work on the car now without turning brown!! LOL
