OK, Here's a picture of my new project on the day I got her...
It has been sitting in a field for the last 18 years, and today I got it to start for the first time.
Runs great! Will be a slow restore, but I'll keep everyone updated with new pics and my progress.....
Yay, little Pinto with portholes and square headlights! :afro:
Cool! I like cruising wagons! keep us posted.
Looks like fun! Definitely keep us updated.
I MAY HAVE SOME PARTS THAT YOU NEED. MAKE LIST AS YOU GO.SEND ME AN INQUIRY VIA E-MAIL.

That'[s one of the major strengths of these little cars. They "resurrect" well - the engines, unless severely "beat on" in a previous life respond well to fresh oil, gas, fluids, and a fresh battery. Have fun - I love the cruising wagons!! Great find!!

Thanks for all the support!
Today I got just a little more done to my car. Tuned it up, put on a grille, and put a steering wheel on (now I can turn it!). I banged out a few of the dents, and put some of the covers back on the motor (..valve cover, timing belt cover, etc..) and it's actually starting to look like a car again. Sorry, no pics today, can't seem to find my camera :nocool:
Maybe I can do some more work tomorrow, but I am waiting for parts, and I am still trying to get a set of keys made for it. Might just have to dive right in and start cleaning out the interior in the morning...just thinking about that makes me :sleep:
