Hey guys, just found the site. Bought my first Pinto today. Picked up a '75 Wagon. Runs good and body is decent but the interior needs alot of help. First thing on the list (other than interior) is a set of cruiser panels. Anyway here are some pics

 :welcome:  Lason
The Wagon looks real nice, you'll see there is a ton of info on this GREAT site. You'll also get some good direction on parts that you'll need to get it where you want it.
What did you pay?

Paid $600 for it and drove it 45 miles home. Had to put a kit in the carb because it was leaking out the accelerator pump diaphram. Other than that I put some $25 seat covers on the front seats, a $20 roll of insulation and some leftover carpet from another project. Only thing I plan on doing is replacing the weather stripping and maybe a black primer job. The original paint is pretty rough. Just going to cruise it for now and maybe later on drop a 302/T5 combo in. Have to finish my other project before anything major starts on the pinto though.

Heres my main project, Datsun tubbed 240Z with a LS1
