Disassembly started on the pinto today. We started
by removing the bumpers and hood. From there, we removed the side windows
and the rear hatch. From there we started to remove the rear seat braclets
since we will need the rear seat.
Here we are draining the engine oil and coolant after removing the radiator
and bumper
Here is the car with the rear bumper, tail lights and rear hatch removed.
We will need to replace the rear hatch trim.
Here are a few of the removed parts.
Drilling the spot welds on the bracket.
After drilling the brackets, we then use a grinder to remove the rest of
the metal. From there, we will bondo the holes up so we can just have
the fenders showing.
Here the car is at the end of the day. We spent a few dollars to make
my wife happy by covering the project as it lives on the drive way.
