Hey turbotoy, Sorry I haven't caught up with you yet. Like a dummy I lost your #'s. Anyway, We have got to hook up soon so I can google your sweet ride in person. That is one sweet looking pinto.

Thank's for the kind words guys.I was beginning to think I was the only one that liked my car.I like the early cars the best,but this one was just too nice to turn down.After doing the turbo T5 swap I have to say that it is the most fun and bang for the buck that I have ever built. ;D
