For the last half year I’ve been using Donkey as a car without spending any extra money on it.
Come fall, I did think that it was time for a service, new oil,  filter, brake fluid etc.
All went well except for a stuck brake bleeder and a loose grease nipple on the left front side.
So the caliper had to come off, used lots of WD40, put a nail in the stuck bleeder to prevent it from collapsing and with the help of a pipe wrench managed to get it out in one piece.  New brake bleeder was Dorman 13901.
That was one problem fixed, then the other one; I enlarged the grease nipple hole, cut new thread and fitted a larger nipple.
I had some time to spare so decided to pull out the chairs and rubber mats and check out the floors and maybe test fit Blaine’s carpet. As this required making holes in the carpet for seat belts, handbrake and shifter, and not having a Torx T50 bit lying around for removing the seat belts I decided that this would have to wait. I also discovered two places in the floor pan that will require a small patch welded in. Moisture and time will eventually take their toll on everything, and the fact that there is a lot of kit used around the front windscreen, and the original carpet being replaced somewhere in the past  by a few pieces of rubber mat,  indicates previous moisture problems.
This car does have an old rust prevention undercoating, which has helped it staying in good condition for a long time,  but it’s past its prime now and will need removing before fixing the floor.
Another nice job for maybe next spring, the seats aren’t falling through the floors yet!

My European Pinto 2.0 EFI is run by  a Ford EECIV ecu, similar to the ones in loads of eighties and nineties American Ford’s, not with the same software and components of course.
As I am contemplating to get a newer aftermarket ecu somewhere in the future, and I had been thinking about a step by step reversible transition, I went searching for an extra EECIV connector, so I wouldn’t have to hack up my original Scorpio injection harness.
The connectors are available new on ebay, but most without terminals, or very pricey.
I found a cheap complete Focus ecu at the scrappy, but then came the real issue, how to get 60 pins desoldered from the PCB. I read all sorts of info on forums but nothing worked, gas torch or heat gun are only good for destroying the lot. Desoldering with a soldering station didn’t work, the heat seemed to flow away in the circuit board, the solder wouldn’t melt. Buying a real desoldering station for this one job was a step too far for me.
I ended up grinding away the PCB around every single one of the sixty pins with a Dremel, after that the heat of the soldering iron was enough to loosen the small “diamonds” left around the pins.
Now with an extra connector, I could even make a breakout box like this guy did: http://www.merkurclub.com/kizerweb/scorpio/misc/tools/breakout.htm
That way I could hook up anything to the existing harness for testing purposes.

Déjà vu? No, I just did it again, couldn’t resist picking up this Ford Maverick 8 inch axle as a backup for my 8 inch Mustang II rear end. I know it isn’t as wide, and the perches are in the wrong place, and it’s a 5-lug, but in reality, I just got it for the diff.  To be able to work on one while driving around with the other one.  These things don’t grow on trees around here, and there are some hoarders around who ask crazy prices, so when one pops up, you go for it.
This one was just south of Bruges in Belgium, 3 hour round trip, Donkey happy all the way.
Fordification tag decoding for WDW-AA tag gives a 2.79 ratio 75-77 Maverick, seems correct.
We’ve had the discussion about the ideal gear ratio here before, but at the moment I’m certain 3.40 is to tall for my 195/65/15 winter tires. I checked what the gear ratio was on the Scorpio that supplied my drivetrain, and that was a 3.92 (with factory 185/70/14 tires)!
I think I’m going to aim for a 3.8 ring and pinion, which combined with the desired 195/55/15 summer tires gets me as close as possible to the original setup.
Wittsend, can you check my calculations????
And for all you folks with an eye for detail, yes the tailgate is held up with a broomstick, haven’t found a solution for the broken left tailgate spring yet.  If someone has a set of these lying about,  please send me a PM.

Started disassembly of the Maverick  rear end, so far one completely shot right axle bearing and oil seal, axles are good, just goes to show that pieces of old iron like these can never be trusted to be able to be put in action immediately.
Taking it apart makes it easier to handle the different parts,  but there is a higher risk of not finding all the bits when you need them to come together.

Yes, Donkey is still around!
In for some necessary repairs and updates, passenger floor needs some patches welded in, but before that I have to tackle a leaking heater core problem (which could have attributed to the floor rot), so out with the heater housing.
Hands up everyone who has a brand new heater core in the box, but is postponing creeping under the dash until the end of time. I know, it is no fun.
It took me half a day, 72 Ford Car Shop Manual wasn’t 100% helpful, but with some patience, the bugger came out. I’ll report on further dissection.
As I had to drain the coolant any way, I pulled the radiator and fan to get access to the crank pulley, going to try to fit one with a trigger wheel.

Thanks Dwayne, and sorry for the long silence, but the car just keeps going, what can I do?
Well, back to the heater core, there was an uninhabited mice nest on it, had to clear that first.
When opened up, the leaking radiator was obvious. What I also found was that the door that regulates cold or warm air coming in must have been covered with some kind of foam, of which most has crumbled away after 47 years, this probably means that it won’t shut of either passage way positively, so no 100% cold or 100% warm setting.  Have to think about a solution for that.

Uggg..., I had Rat Wiz trickle down between the cylinder barrel and the cylinder head on my Corvair. The urine reacts with the aluminum and forms a grout like substance fortified with Super Glue! In the image below it is hard to see where the cast iron ends and the aluminum begins. No penetrating oil, heat, or hard whacks from a dead blow hammer is even giving a hint of freeing the parts!


Regarding the foam on the heater flap; I used closed cell foam that is often used in packaging. I believe this was from a wrapper for a motherboard. I simply used spray contact adhesive to hold the foam in place. As best I recall I did both sides.

Good one that, Wittsend! Yes, I think it should go on both sides, I'll do something like you did.

Rat Wiz as base component for a new line of (metal) adhesives, now that's an idea...

You might consider POR 15 (or similar product) on those floors. I used it with their mesh (a thin fiberglass sheet) not unlike what hobby stores sell for model planes.  I'll include below a few pictures of how bad the floors were on my Studebaker Daytona and the end results with the mesh.

  They say you can just flake off the loose rust and paint, but I sandblasted, treated with Phosphoric Acid THEN applied the POR 15 and in most cases put the mesh on both sides. It has been at least 7 years now and the floors look as good as the finished picture.

Just Google POR 15 to see where it might be available in Europe..., if at all.  That said here in the USA there are some brick & mortar stores that carry it, but it is available on line at MANY places.  In the past I have actually purchased it directly from POR-15. Read up about it because you have to follow their procedure.

The large patch is in too, sorry, no real floor patch panel, just a flat plate.
I also removed the fender antenna and radio, radio didn’t work properly no more after ditching the voltage regulator , anti noise thingy was next to the voltage regulator, never bothered to correct that issue.
So as an extra some small fender holes to weld up. Image shows old magnets  holding circle in place before welding.
Rockauto heater core (yes, already had it for some years) is a  good match, I’ll test it for leaks before putting the heater box back in the car. Still have to put foam on the door.
I got myself a POR15 starter kit from the one supplier we seem to have here in the Netherlands, I’ll read the instructions carefully before making a mess Wittsend!

New heater core is in the housing, new foam on the cold/hot air door, ready to close the box and put it back under the dash.  POR15 on the welded in plates and surrounding surface rust areas. After that I sprayed it over on the inside with white paint, on the outside with underbody coating.
And last but not least, with the heater core fixed,  I’m putting in the carpet! It was a long wait Blaine and Robert, but here it is!

getting there quickly now , did you check for leaks around the windsheld and cowl area , they are the main reasons for rusty floors , the windsheld gaskets dry up and start leaking water straght to the floors , those you can buy now on e-bay , and last on your rear ratio are you sticking with the 3.40 ?  the 2.79 is kind of tall for overdrive of the T-9 you got , it will work out and the carpit looks great , it make the car much quiet , mine I brought and installed extra insolation in mine , hardly any road nosie now , and on the rear spring I wonder if a 76 wagon spring could be the same , have one and later I can pull and mesure to check it out , later Blaine

Blaine, windshield and cowl must have been troublesome in the past, someone stuffed all the seams and gasket full of sealant which still seems to work for the moment. Major problem now was the leaking heater core.
Donkey is always sleeping inside in a well ventilated lock up, so not too many humidity problems.
I am still running the 3.40, and would actually rather try a 3.55 or even 3.80, because the Scorpio I got the engine and T9 from had a factory 3.92 ratio.
The 2.79 was only mentioned because it came in my backup Maverick pumpkin, rest assured, no way I’m putting that behind a manual gearbox.
I already owe you too many thanks, but thanks again for wanting to check out the tailgate spring, take your time!

On all three of my pinto wagons
The leaks were coming from holes on both sides where
The fresh air duct work connects to air channel.    air comes
In the grill at the bottom of windshield exterior of car
Then enters this channel lots of debris collect here
Gets wet then causes corrosion   
Could very well make it look like windshield and or
Heater core leak.
I would  check this before reinstalling your heating unit
You may want to remove hood with the hinge and the boots to get
A good look
I put a couple of light bulbs inside this area too get a good look
Then work on

Hi folks, it’s been a long time but I’m back here to inform you that Donkey is still in good health and even pushing for new frontiers!
I didn’t have much news lately as old faithfull just does what he is supposed to do, and hasn’t had any work or money put in to him. Apart from oil change, new sprak plugs and that sort of thing of course.
But now, with a ladder on the roof and tools in the back he has been to France, where I acquired a dilapidated  countryside cottage.  Now there’s a country that doesn’t see many Pinto’s visiting.
Curious people kept asking what it was, as they had never seen one before.

I love travelling to Europe, Great Britain, and Ireland...but I have to admit that I never saw a Pinto over there!  I wondered if your Pinto was left behind by a staff member of an embassy or a military base?  Have you seen any other Pintos other than yours in Europe?

Happy Motoring!

Donkey was imported to the Netherlands from Oregon in 2014 by somebody who quickly lost interest. I was able to buy the car from him at a real sweet price. In 2015 the engine was swapped for a 1985 version of the same but with factory efi and a five-speed gearbox (T9).
Lots of classic cars are imported from the States to the Netherlands, afterwards many of them find their way to other European countries.

It is interesting that while Ford never sold the Pinto in Europe the 2.0 EAO engine that was built in Germany was referred to as the "Pinto Engine" on Wheelers Dealers. And in that case I believe it was some French 'van like vehicle' that it was used in. So, a Germany motor in a French vehicle that was referenced by name to a car that was never sold in Europe. Strange.

It’s again been a long time, but here we are with some news.
Donkey gets treated to some new used seats, the red ones that are in there aren’t the original ones any way (original interior is black, back seat still is), and very much used up.
The new ones aren’t perfect, but much better. They are original Recaro’s from a 1997 Ford Puma (Europe only), $ 35 each.
I was very pleased to find these at Venyard (www.venauto.nl), just 15 km from my place. It’s a rather new wrecking yard with all cars photographed and put on the website with location, so you can check at home if they have something interesting.
I’m still looking for a pair of Wagon tailgate springs, if anyone can help me with these I’d be much obliged.

Your seats look very nice! They seem to fit well too. I used the T-Bird Turbo Coupe seats just because I had them. The side bolsters are adjustable width but even set as narrow as possible (thankfully I'm one of those skinny Americans) they touch the trans tunnel and sides of the door (lightly).
