She's back well after selling her over 8 years ago i found her on Facebook, messaged the owner the deal the was done ( thanks Ewan )and back she came, she hadn't been used for a number of years and was parked up in a dusty old barn but not in bad shape at all, so after sorting out some issues, wiring, clutch, distributor, radiator, and a tune up and service she runs like a champ, back to here tyre shredding old self just a few bits left, brakes and valve stem seals ( well it is a pinto ). On the trailer ready for the off driven off the trailer Wash and brush up got shot of that shiny new rad and fan Race distributor all electronic much better

Sportpack wheels?
I remember an older, local lad while I was growing up, rolled into the carpark so very slowly in one of these. Just kept rolling, crashed into a low wall, when we ran over and opened his door he was asleep on the steering wheel, stoned.

Also thinking of parting out the Pinto engine and gearbox as they are, new distributor, intake and carb, basically the running gear as is, pulls strong just needs valve stem seals doing, well it is a Pinto.

I like it. What axle is it running? And are they standard front calipers and disks?
|

*Excuse the dyslexia*

rear axle is off a 2300 magnum although i think they are virtually all the same apart from ratio they have A or B cast into the axle caseing and they are stock front calipers and discs mine are Lockheed but they often fitted Girling brakes, never had an issue with them and have just rebuilt the calipers, new pistons seals and such all good and only £30 the lot.
