Title: My New Toy
Post by: Trigger01 on September 06, 2007, 10:52:41 PM
My new toy is a '78 Runabout. Pinto's run in the family. When my dad was 18 he had a '74(I think) Runabout, at the same time his father and sister each had a Pinto. For as long as I can remember my dad has wanted another Pinto to play with. He bought one  about 4-5 months ago in poor condition, put about $3500 into it to make it mechanically sound and decided he didn't want to spend any more money on it. He then gave it to me and I love it. It still needs alot of work(mostly because of rust). Any way here are a few pictures of my new toy:
