While I don't have any pictures of this part of the restoration, but While we had the engine out, we installed a new racing clutch kit, had the power rack sent off for a complete rebuild. for the front end.., sent the trans out for rebuild. sent the radiator out to be restored,
The drive shaft & rear end are stock,. but will be installing the T5 5 speed trans & 8.8 posi 3.75 rear end when we do the turbo conversion...
Car has aftermarket 14in. aluminum wheels, with modified to fit ford caps from a lx mustang..
brand new BF Goodrich tires on the back.. fronts have over 50% tread & are rain tires.. But as soon as find the right size bf radials that wont scrub.. they will go be going on the front. If any is currently running bf radial on the front of there pinto, let me know the sizes..lol
