    Hi all:

    Regular visitor here (grew up with a '70 Grabber in the family), though the car I am working on is a Pinto wagon (I have been on a full blown resto for nearly 3 years now). Given a lot of you guys are all aficionados of restoration, I thought I would share pics of my motor restoration.

    Keep in mind that while most Pintos are treated to a lavish V8 or Turbo setup, I am treating this car to a "stock restoration', to preserve a little bit of history.

    Please take a look at the results, all the "beauty" of my stock original 2.3L four banger, a whopping 98 HP machine, with 65k miles on it. Well, maybe you can overlook the performance (or lack of) and appreciate the detail/work. :rolleyes: Thanks!

    Chris
