 :( I went to the local Pick-A-Part and found this:

It was a 2.3 with a 4-Speed. There was no serious body damage.

Aside from what I took it's all still there. Except for the spoiler. Someone got it before I could :(

I'm not sure about the cluster. I'm going to see if i can integrate my air/fuel, Boost and alt gauges.  But if not I will probably sell it. I don't remember ever seeing a factory cluster like that. But I usually see older Pintos with no tachometer. This one had a tach so of course the other gauges had to go somewhere :) I thought about getting the porthole glass out but it was hot and getting late.
    That poor car probably just needed a new motor and some easy TLC to stay on the road. Just sad...

Looking for a drivers door and A/C components! Would be grateful to get info on the yard to get some stuff... or maybe work something out with you to grab some stuff and ship... Think about it and let me know...

Thanks in advance.
