1972 pinto grille broken?
I just bought a ford pinto 1972 which I'm fixing up thanfully its just minor things and a new paint job anyway it came with the grille but its broken not by a lot just one small cut on the top bar. Is it fixable or should I just by a new universal grille trim since old grilles are so hard to find?
Unless you're building a hotrod out of that car and want to completely redo it and add a big V8 I would't even fit it, its not like the car is worth anything or is collectible, duct tape it up if you are worried about it
the pinto was not even worth a lot when it was new, it was a joke in the 70s and 80s to own one so at best its semi cool in a kitschy way now but still an unsafe and ugly car
Sounds like some type of "crazy" glue would fix it, or you can contact some auto wrecking yards to see if they can locate a grille
Epoxy (Qicksteel, JB Weld etc) can be sanded and painted. I've repaired bumpers and grilles with it.
Why not join an owner's forum, where everyone owns the same car and may have seen the problems or want the same mods? You can get all kinds of info there, instead of asking people that can only make guesses. Just Google "Ford Pinto owners forum".
- Where can I buy a grille for my 1970 ford Fairlane 500? I can't seem to find the part anywhere, its not listed in the parts magazine, amazon, ebay or any junkyards. The closest thing i could find was a 1968 fairlane grille, but i don't know if that will work
- Ford Ranger Headlight/Grille Swap? I have a 1991 Ford Ranger and I was wondering if the 1980-1988 Ford Ranger front headlights/grille are interchangeable with my 91. I really like the old school look the 80s rangers have to them (round head lights). Is this possible?
- 2011 ford mustang grille? I'm trying to find a grille for my V6 mustang that has the holes/openings for fog lights. All I can find are grilles like that for the 5.0 but not for a V6. I'm not desperate for one but I would really like to have fog lights on my mustang.
- Where can i buy factory grille covers for ford f150 2006? I just bought a used grille but it didn't come with the grille covers which are the "honeycomb" looking mesh that helps big insects from coming in contact with the radiator while driving. I was wondering if anyone knew where i could buy them. I've been looking in ebay and i haven't had any luck. The inside of my grille has some type of locks for it.
