Rust, it gets everywere on em, look around the inner wing and front strut tops, also the rear leaf hangers and in the boot. smoke from the engine is also never a good thing and although the pinto isn't always a quiet engine lots of top end noise

you should definitely put the original lights and grille back on it mate.

i think it would look great witha set of 15" minilites on it.

keep it if you possibly can.

you'll regret it ten minutes after you sell it.

i agree if they're quite narrow.


13 X 10 minilites are definitely not to be sniffed at though
