We were luicky (a friend of mine and I that own Pintos) to find a salvage yard near Dallas that advertised a car (a '78 Pinto hatch, fully...
Let me be the first to just say it like it is - that's DAM% ugly. :mad: Chris
No, limited slip was the exception, not the rule. Chris
...and look at the Pinto beside it! Not that you would, but have any data on that car? It looks like a '79 or '80, it would be nice to know what...
Think of it literally as it is named. The ball joint works like the end of your long leg bone fitting into your hip. On a car, rather than keeping...
Weekend project, no biggie. :naughty: Chris
Man, does that take me back to HIgh School! Raised rear, wide tires, shackles, traction bars, incredible. Don't care an awful lot for the paint...

Truth be known, that term today is called "JIT" - "Just In Time" manufacturing. Basically, the premise is, build stuff when you need it - don't...
I'm going to be an outsider here, but let me say that I >completely< understand the point you guys are making. When I bought a car last year, I...
I work as a component/manufacturing engineer in a company where all of the development engineering is done by Korean folks. I gotta tell you, they...
"I wish this country would pull it's head out of it's ass" Not likely. And with the current administration driving to spend, spend, spend and...
SEM color coat is the bomb. I just used it to restore my Pinto dash pad and the pad looks brand new, with the correct amount of sheen, nice...
A while (6 months?) ago there was someone here who talked about their factory PURPLE Maverick - doing the proper research (Marti report, etc.) it...
