Is anybody else wanting Spring to get here? If so, what are you gonna be driving come spring time? Obligatory pic of said car:

I got a better chance than you guys in the NE at seeing Spring weather soon. I grew up in MA. I hasve ridden top down in the snow in a '65 T bird conv. back in '68.

Well, Since you asked... I can tell I guess 
It started life as a 1980 Ford Pinto ESS (ESS stands for European Sport Sedan). Original colors were red on red. As it sits now, it has the following: 14" Western Aluminum Slots wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial TA's 7 1/4" Read end was swaped for a 8" Ford 4 speed manual trans (Factory) 2.3L 4 banger with an Offenhauser Stepped intake, Holley 360 4 Barrel, Stepped Header & full 2 1/2" custom exhaust Front air dam off a Rallye, as well as the rear spoiler 9" Drilled & slotted brakes 5 Lug conversion Rear window Louvers ETA: Racer Walsh Stage II Solid Lifter Cam The paint is original, except the black on the rockers (we redid that, it came from the factory painted, but it was chipped from rocks). It was my dads car that he drove from 80-86, then it sat in a garage under a cover until this past summer when me and him pulled it out and went through it all. ETA: We also swapped out the interior to black, so the whole car has a black & red theme. I also added a pic of the Engine bay. A few more pics for you folks

Same color as my avatar car. Those are not the wheels either, those are just to get through inspection and gather the funds for the real ones. |

I'm just pulling your string, my older brother had a Pinto a lot like yours, it was a cool little car considering its origins. |
