BDA780 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Its on the road already???!!!! Black rostyles look sweet. Whats the specs on the pinto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14fast Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 yeah got it on the road about November 2011, only been about 6 years Still needs carpet, weather seals, some small bits n peices, got sick of it sitting there getting scratched and seeing other oldschool cars crusing around. Started the project thread to show what i did, but i need to update it Brought the pinto off trademe, had run a main bearing (bit of alloy had got in from somewhere) luckly didnt make much mess. Its a 205 block, skimmed block so pistons are flush & 40thou overbore. I had the crank polished, put in new rings and bearings. Head is standard at this stage, but seems to have a mild cam but dont know specs, did a valve grind when it was apart. Rebuilt weber 32/36, and cast marks removed from inside intake manifold, Ramflo filter & extractors. New clutch but standard weight flywheel (mistake should of lightenend it while it was off!) Still running points but want to change to electronic ignition and plan to play with the head a bit. Also want to increase the sump size, been cut down to fit the escort x-member but takes stuff all oil. Didnt want to spend much $$ at the mo so painted the rostyles black but came out looking ok Next up is a 50mm suspension drop, got the blocks last week, wanting to find a deal on front springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneo Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hi We meet at the last old school meet I have some weather strips you can have. Not new but will be better than none and also have the plastic strip for around your front window. Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
