been a while since I was on here, and need some new photos, but all in all, the camino has been working out. Since I got this car and made this thread, I sold my girl's car (96 ford ****us) and so we have been taking turns everyday taking care of our priorities in the camino. It might take...

Where did you pick those mirrors up at?

****ing classic ahahaha, that made me crack up, mad props 8)

By the way, as usual your ride is looking awesome, every time I look thru this thread i wish i had some funds to get on it with mine....

hey i have a quick question, how can I easily identify whether or not I have rust on the inside of my rear quarters around where you cut into, without tearing it apart just to look?

much agreeing here, gay guys most of all, quote unquote the elco is "hideous" to them, I think its a nice utility car for a woman but its really the weight distribution that sells it for me, you can skid around pseudo-drift, peel out burn donuts all that sh*t so easy in an elco, its just raw...

sh*t is there any resources you can recommend for the wiring situation? I have alot of wiring beefs to get to and Im not too confident about it....

hahaha no, its part of the banner I have across my chest, I got this car to hold me together in my young life between struggling with money, sustaining a relationship and making it in the world on my own. An that is kinda the essence of the quote, dont let things get you down, you cant always...

Hi Im chongo, actually he is my dog but I would like to be named Chongo too, but anyways, I picked up this elco about 2 and 1/2 moths ago with 89,000 miles (It is from here in new mexico, was used as a ranch car, and like all new mexico cars, NO RUST WHATSOEVER) My dad has helped me with a few...

Same as me, I had had a previous project which was a 64 impala, happened to be a hardcore victim of texas floods and so after a year and a half and 3000 bones thrown away I sold it for 150$. I wanted a new project but at the time I was living with my parents and they had a say in what I got. I...

Hey thanks for the info, thats kinda what I was getting at, the concept of the camino and ranchero were both to give a more comfortable ride for women, but that was more true for the first two years before they stopped production, after that I dont think any women were really considering getting...

BTW Ill be posting a build thread soon, its jsut hard with all my bills and all, but sooon enough front clip will be swapped and then hopefully i can overhaul the engine. I have a 79 orange copnquista not original paint, its gonna be black on black on black, slowly but surely

but why do you elco owners love the minos so much? Origianlly marketed for woman, and eventually Im sure once women decided they were horrendeous we started buying them up, but really, the elco isnt built for most of the engine sizes we buy them with or put in them, they fishtail, yet they...

Diggitydawg you gotta post some all around pics of your elco so we can see how it looks all over, please??!?!

I think the dood with the thread "sand bagger" did a swap somewhere in his build, you might want to check out his thread and see if he knows
