Kimmy, I'm afraid I do know what I'm missing... That's the problem! When I click the link it shows a window, and I click open. Then it shows like it's going into a file then I get the Kodak Easyshare page and it says Easyshare can no longer find this file...blah blah blah.

:

exactly what I get Becky, never had this problem until the update to the site...

I said "Get the slop on the dinner table woman, and shut your pie hole!" Or maybe that's what I was thinking while I sat there with my head hung down sheepishly. :embarrassed:

Looks like a good find to me. You have something solid to work with, and at least it wasn't stored outside. I think he could have stored his junk on the floor instead of on top of any car... but that's just me :cheesy_n:

I guess he would have Beegle but there was no more floor space! I had to move junk and lawnmowers (john deere mowers sitting everywhere) and pick my way through just to get to the car!

BTW, I'm using the browser Mozilla Firefox now and the pics are on this page. No need to click on an attachment.

I can see both sides. Beegle & the owner of the car.. While yeah it sux to stack things on the car, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Atleast now he will have the room to stack it on the garage floor.

r4pinto · « **Reply #40 on:** June 20, 2009, 06:25:30 PM »

Besides... Why complain about something like that when you are getting the car for basically free

Yea, he told me he would be glad to have it gone because of all the room he will gain! :lol:
Strange thing is, I don't know how the Pinto was picked to get the garage, there must be at least eight cars sitting outside with their engines and trannies sitting on benches inside. Mostly subaru's, a fiesta and a few honda's. I guess the Pinto was put in first and then pushed to the back, and the junk and lawnmowers accumulated from there forward!

At least the American car won out on the garage space against the Jap imports... and who would put a fiesta into a garage anyways?

And truth be told, with his new space he will probably back another car into the garage to use for a shelf, and as long as it isn't a Pinto anymore, a good deed has been done by '71 for the day

Still don't have the cruiser yet

Been working on his stupid GMC, someone worked on the A/C last year, put dye in it, (lots & lots of dye!) and told him the evap core was leaking. My son Jesse and I pulled the core...dry as a bone. Hooked the lines back up and just let it kind of hang there and shot a little freon in it, son checked the next day and the compressor is leaking. So we put the core back in and reassembled the truck, guy brings us a used compressor. Next day Jesse puts the compressor on (he works on stuff at home while I'm at work) and I shoot a little juice in it. This compressor leaks worse than the first one!! Tonight he brings yet another used compressor. So..Jesse is going to swap them again! Luckily they are not hard to put on but I wish he would just get a new one and be done with it. I guess the junkyard just wants to give him another part instead of a refund. He asked me if I wanted to come up and get the car but I said not until the truck is fixed. That way I'm not married to this POJ, I can still walk away and forget it! :mad:

It will all be worth it down the road when your sporting around in a sweet wagon. I dont understand people, i mean he is not even paying labor and buying junk that will just give him more problems down the road, looks like he would know by now if your going to try to keep a GMC on the road your gonna have to find a good parts sorce. I would go get the wagon before something else falls off of the truck.

Well, the Cruiser is finally home!

After two leaky junk compressors he bought a new one! He asked me if I could go ahead and get the car, his wife wants it gone so they can store their new tractor in the garage. Him, my brother and I took a rollback up to the garage and commenced to moving lawnmowers, junk, junk, and more junk!

Then we disassembled the broken garage door, and finally we pumped up the tires on the Cruiser, pulled it out and loaded it up on the rollback. Then I backed my trailer up underneath and backed it on. That way I can back up to my garage and roll it in front first. Then we took it to the car wash and sprayed off 15 years of filth before taking it home. Only took us about six hours, start to finish!!

Now that sounds like a thinking man's way of doing things! Glad to hear you got it home.

OK, here are some pics of the prize! It was looking a little rough with no hood, so I sat one of my old ones on it. It has a Trans-Am cowl induction scoop molded on it. Wifey sez yea, that helps alot, I like that hood, now just get the rest of it to match. Patience woman, patience!! :lol:

71pintoracer · « **Reply #49 on:** June 30, 2009, 10:30:59 PM »

A few of the interior, and just look at all of the loot I found in the spare tire well! A Craftsman torque wrench, vice grips, adjustable wrench, two chilton Pinto books, tow chain, trans funnel, few other parts and pieces. Rocky got the steering column from a junk yard after he got the car, not sure why but the entire top housing is missing on the original.

blupinto · « **Reply #50 on:** June 30, 2009, 10:53:17 PM »

YAAAAAY!!!!! The pix came up! What a treasure you got 71PR!!!!!

dga57 · « **Reply #51 on:** July 01, 2009, 12:30:24 AM »

Well, it looks 100% better on the trailer than it did under all that trash in the garage! Nice score!

75bobcatv6 · « **Reply #52 on:** July 01, 2009, 12:32:59 AM »

its a diamond in the rough man. glad you have it home. Enjoy it and restore it well ! any ideas on what you are thinking about doing with it ?

71pintoracer · « **Reply #53 on:** July 02, 2009, 09:39:31 PM »

No idea what I am going to do with it at this point. I am really questioning why I am even thinking about starting on a resto job!! I can barely find time to work on my '71, still don't have the new console finished among other things. I just always liked the crusiers, the '77 is my second favorite body style and this deal just kind of fell into place. What can I say, I'm just a Pinto nut nut nut!!

Somebody help me.... :lol:

75bobcatv6 · « **Reply #54 on:** July 03, 2009, 12:46:35 AM »

too far gone to help. as it is I always see on for sale on here and wish i had the Funds to buy it. atm Im saving my penny's so to speak to buy the nice wagon that Fred brought home. my g/f wants it. all i have to do is put an Automatic in it. =)

blupinto · « **Reply #55 on:** July 03, 2009, 01:12:34 AM »

YAY!!! You're buying that beautiful blue wagon! I'm so glad it wasn't parted out! I don't think you'll regret it!

75bobcatv6 · « **Reply #56 on:** July 03, 2009, 04:26:58 AM »

I would never regret buying a bobcat or a pinto

smallfryefarm · « **Reply #57 on:** July 03, 2009, 08:13:48 AM »

i wouldnt quit on the 71 till shes done. The cruiser will make a good winter project. I have a 65 mustang sitting beside my pinto that me and my son have to get back on this winter. We are restoring it for him allready have new floor pans in new inner fenders and core support. We removed the cowl and put new pans in. Its ready to start putting together.

Carolina Boy · « **Reply #58 on:** July 03, 2009, 09:39:39 PM »

You know 71, if you don't really want to restore a big wagon like that, I would be willing to trade you my 78 hatch? :look: :devil:

Hey I have a hood if you want it. $25 I have the steering cover too.

71pintoracer · « **Reply #59 on:** July 03, 2009, 09:59:31 PM »

Thanks for the offer CB, but I think I'll keep the cruiser, and I have loads of spare parts. I think you may be on to something there David, this could be a winter time project, maybe I'll have the '71 finished up by then! :lol: Actually, I have found a little time to work on it, the louvers that I've had since January got installed, and I got to spend a good part of today on it, (no work, 4th of July holiday, yay!) Washed, waxed, wheels polished, windows and inside cleaned, general check-up. Tomorrow I might even get back to work on the console after I finish a few honey-do's!!
