Been a member for a while and thought I would share my car with you, don't be too mean about it! Hope you can see the pics!

My car before the pinto blew up.


And as it is now

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.

Nope, that can sit on my TV. Told you the engine is in, I just need to get it working now!

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.

I can't remember what tyres it's wearing.

I am offended! The tyres didn’t look to bad the last time I looked at them, when the car is working I will see what they are like on the road before I spend £140 on new tyres.

You still at work?

I don’t like yellow either but think it suits the car. The roof does look a bit rubbish but it keeps the rain out. I think it gets more attention than the “7” style cars as its unusual and people don’t know what it is.
