Title: Decisions,decisions.....
Post by: 8upwithpinto on October 14, 2003, 10:15:34 AM
I'm having trouble deciding if I should mod the car I allready have or, should I do another car. I know where there is a 80' Bobcat (same as my pinto more or less) with low ,low miles. Doesn't run but the body is great. No dings, dents etc. Should I have my cake and eat it too? Of course. What will my wife say? Allready know...L.O.L. ::)

why not.....DO THEM BOTH! No, if you can get the Bobcat for a song then hey, might as well start with a good body and paint and sell yours to someone for them to fix up.

Hee hee
I pulled over (while out leaf peeping with my wife) to look at a 79 or 80 Pinto for $500.00. It looks like its in worse shape than my 79 wagon. My wife was excited about getting another one. It didnt have anything I needed. I said ones enuff.

I agree with Jeff buy it cheap and sell the one you have now.

Well the Bobcat deal fell through,..... literally! The car looked great, had only 13000 mi. on it. Second time I looked at it I found ....well rust would be an understatement! The underside was great but, certain spots were gone. Rear spring pearch was one. Oh well..... :P
