Hey everyone, My name is Clay. I'm new to the pintos and I would just like to introduce myself and my new project :smile: This is my 1972 Pinto 2.0L W/ 4spd Manual Trans. Shes in Ruff shape but all there. I got this Car from a friend who was going to send it off to the scrap yard(couldn't let that happen) :)

My Plans for this old girl its dropping a 2.3L Turbo engine out of a 84 TC. Along with cleaning her up of course. Ive got the 2.3L Turbo engine already its just waiting on the car. it came from a different friend who Swapped it out for a 3.8 SC engine.
