When I was about 20 I went to Florida and got in an accident in Atlanta Ga. Wiped out the front of the Pinto I was driving, wrapped the radiator around the engine. They hauled me and the car of to the storage lot and there I sat. After wandering around wondering what to do I discovered a Napa store. So I went back to the car and proceeded to tear the front off the car took it back to the engine. I always take my tools with me. Found the hub on the water pump was shoved back to the housing so used the bolts without the spacer and jacked it back out. Now the water pump would turn. Went back to the store to get a radiator and they didn't have one for a Pinto but they had one for a Maverick. The difference was the hoses are on the opposite sides. Got the Maverick radiator and wired it in with speaker wire sitting it in kinda crooked. Got the hoses on it and it would hold water. It started up, so off I went. No hood, mashed fenders, and a radiator sticking out the front. It did still have headlights and turn signals so it was legal. Had to add water at every rest area due to it leaking at the pump, but it eventually quit leaking. I drove it that way for the summer until I found a donor car and fixed it right.

Today's Featured Article - The Rescue of a Fordson F - by Anthony West. Introduction I live in the UK and have for many years restored Fordson tractors (in the main model N's). I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p ... [Read Article]
