I said accident I could have said wreck
smashed into from behind at a red light on Oct 7 1991 my mothers birthday. All I did was change the fenders and hood and grille. Well we had to pull the radiator support out with a come along.
It got hit from behind while I was at a red light behind 7 or 8 cars someone came around a corner I heard tires squeal the next thing I knew boom. It was a sad day for my Pinto Wagon but it didnt explode. My eyeglasses wound up on the passenger side floor and one shock made a little dent in t he floor but it still runs good to me. I had to see a chiropractor for 6 months or longer for my neck.
Mostly I just need to depend on my Pinto as my daily driver but Im getting to thinking about having it look more presentable.
The gaps increase towards the front so I believe the fenders are pushed away some I dont think loosening them will let me move them much since I probably put them in as far as I could when I changed them in 1991. The gaps are about 1/2 inch or a little more at the front maybe just over a 1/4 near the windshield area.
I might try some metal strips along the edges and fill in with something its worth a try.
