My car before the pinto blew up.

Probably the least petrolhead thing to say, but what stunning yellow!

I once said I'd never buy a yellow car but I think it suits it.

I'll put some more pics up when it's done.

Sniff, sparks only fly out my TV when I spill my beer on it!

Minimatt, it weighs around 750kg I think, I do want to get it weight at some point though. It also depends what engine you got in it as the Pinto is a heavy old lump.

They are not too expensive, there is a V8 one on eBay for £6750. My one is costing a fair bit though as I'm putting a new engine in it. I am also under the impression that only 200ish were produced so they're very exclusive. It’s also cheap to insure.
