My new ride
Here we go again......
Bought this yesterday from ebay. Much better than expected so very happy.
It has a blown engine which was going to be removed anyway so got it for a good price.
Plans (yes i intend to do this one  )
Change engine to Xflow (old skool style)
Modded X member
Modded suspension to lower the car and bring the front wheels in which include coil overs.
Steering box to rack conversion
105e rear axle
4 or 5 spd gearbox which means new trans tunnel
Custom track control arms, modded anti roll bar and full poly bush kit.
wide wheels and lower than a pair of whores draws!!

why dont you kit it out with 2 15" subwoofers and 10 6x9 speakers as well, just for effect, you could always swop the wheels for some deep dish
alloys, will compliment your lowered suspension perfectly
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

Forget the Xflow - strip out the interior to lose some weight and use the bike engine you've got!

Cheers mookaloid.
Desyboy is going to help me with some of the fabrication and telling me what i need. Most old ford parts fit any other ford but the 100e needs alot of
tweeking and modded parts to get them to fit which is why they are rare as modded cars, no one can be bothered to do the work.
MikeRJ: As long as i keep the clearance to no less than 4 - 4.5 inches i should be ok....and just be careful which roads i choose to drive down. My
Indy was 4.5" and i had no probs with that..... the 5 weeks i had it!!
