Alright, I know most people dont care about Escorts, but they are nice cars, and to me comparable to the the civics of the same years, you can mod early 90s escorts. I like doing small odd things to my car and tinkering with it.
My Escort is a 91 that I have just hit the 49,000 mile mark on it. It runs great, but maybe in need of a few things
-Transmission
-Radiator
-Struts
I think mine is clean given the fact its from Florida and only got driven 3 months out of the year and whn it was not driven, it spent its time in a garage. Also this car was setup with all the goodies to stop it from rusting. underbody coating and chipgaurd. Right now I wanna get the front end repainted under the bumper to prevent any rust.
I have yet to figure out a way to attach the spoiler properly, if anyone knows how to, I would greatly appreciate it. Also now, the front bumper is about 50% gone and non existent in the right front and have since in the pics painted them black. But I will soon be going all white.
i have 4 struts and lowering springs ill sell, also have a ton of gt parts…and i think i got a few radiators around too, and a hatch or 2 come and get them, the one is rust free,find me, let me know…
The spoiler is held on by plastic tabs and a couple bolts. Is that a LX or GT spoiler? Your better off finding a hatch that has a spoiler already. MUCH less bs…
I have a spare radiator for ya if you want it. Auto or manual?
What do you want to do suspension wise? For about the same price as stock parts you can get a set of dropzone springs off of ebay and ZX2 S/R struts from a dealership. Rides smooth, droped 1.5", looks better, and handles like a dream.
Its an auto trans, and I wanted to drop it, but the new rims and tires I got for it would dig into the the rear quarter panels because the tires stick out so far. stock lx spoiler on a non spoilered car, I have a few ideas, i just dont know if they make what Im thinking of.
well i also have a few front and rear gt bumpers, and side skirts if your interested too… and possibly another grill…
I have a radiator for a stick car. Get ahold of yunvme666 if you want parts. He’s got everything you need. And trust me, its going to be a bitch getting that spoiler on when it never came with one.
Post some pics of your ride…
yeah I know, Ive had it for months and I still havent figured out exactly, but I’m close, I hope to have everything set in the next month. I also figured today I want a gt rear bumper because the gts come with a dual tip exhaust opening along the bottom and and i found a nice magnaflow with a dual tip.
I dont like the design of the GT bumper. I prefer the LX. Exhaust size or duel tip doesn’t matter. Cut it bigger and sand it down to look like you never did. I dont think the GT has a bigger exhaust cut-out. I’m going to have to look now.
I don’t know either, I was just assuming. I get some good pics of it tomorrow and post them up. The Engine bay is very clean, sanded down my valve cover with intentions of painting it, but it looked good really clean.
okay, you cant mod them as much…
alright thanks, is anything white?
i got a rear you can have, it has a crack that can be fixed , but its on a car im about to scrap… no white stuff sorry…black, teal and purple…
Whatever you can do to a honda, you can do to an escort. You just cant put 5 different motors together and hope for a good outcome.
Alright, mine was white and grey when I got it, I’m going for all white. And so true with the escorts, you just get the guys that work on hondas a lot, my car is very easy to do all my work myself. So much space and ease of access to everything.
I plan on repainting whatever you see under the lights that is white here, to black. I might even put on some of that underbody coating over this. The less rust, the better and longer it will last down the road.
hey while i think about it, also have a front a rear gt disk set up…lol… i got way to much crap… oh and go to schmitts and get thier undercoating done…
nice, one of these days I may have to rummage through what you have. The car has an underbody coating on it already as you can see partially by the black in the pic, I just want to bring it up more and cover up more metal so it doesnt rust down the line.
mostly gt parts, and i can get about anything you want from nz for the bpt and gtr motor…
