Title: what 77 parts fit my 75??
Post by: hellfirejim on August 03, 2009, 08:08:38 PM
OK i am just about talked myself into buying a 77 rally pinto.  I plan to use a lot of parts from the 77 on my  car such as the steering column and steering wheel.  No i don't plan to use the special dash pod or the special gauge cluster for the dash so those will go to whoever needs them.

What I need to know is do the fenders and doors interchange>>>>???  if that is so then i would think that the inertior panels woiuld also swap out as both are hatchbacks.  BTW: it has the BIG glass hatch and it looks to be in good condition.  There is also a running 4pd drive train too.

I almost have myself talked into buying it. what I didn't say was floors and alot of the front frame is totally rotted away and not salvageable and that is why it will be a parts car.  Did i mention it has rally wheels too?  {no caps}.

so let me know please.

All of the body parts and interior parts are the same. I say go for it! Oh, and BTW, (looking down sheepishly :look:) I could maybe use the rubber headlight doors and the grill (that won't fit your '75) if they are any good! :D
