Hey.

[defiler]

New member, from the Twin Cities area. Longtime Escort owner... 4 2g's (1LX, 1Pony, and 2 GT's) and a 1g (86LX). Recently picked up a new project, and this site is one of them I'm scouring info from




Would be driving a Protege, but they're still a lot more expensive than a 2g Escort

I'm located in the Coon Rapids area right now, but will be closer to Isanti next month.



I might have to go on a JY run soon... new project car (KL Escort) will be needing a bunch of parts to get it running by this summer...

Waukesha, but yes that was me. Couldn't pass up the cheap price. Even got rid of my MX6 in the process. (which my roomate is pissed about, because he wanted to buy it from me in the spring)

I was planning mine for a long time... was going to go to the junkyard and grab all the parts when the snow melted, but this deal popped up at the right time... already swapped, all I need is a running motor and I'm rocking Sort of cheating, but it saves me a ton of time and money just buying a completed one. Only hard part is adding the new intake manifold and wiring in gauges.

Figure I already have the GT to drive, so this will be just a fun weekend car.






EDIT: Just checked out your build thread... looking great. We might finish ours around the same time Probably go the same route too with the Millenia ZE. Either that or just port-match some DE heads to the Millenia IM that I already got months ago in preperation for the swap. Just depends on what I can get for cheap motor-wise...

[FE3-323]

well... hello then

well... hello then

I take it you know the person I bought it from?

Guessing he's on this site too, as the car has a ClubProtege sticker on it...

IIRC that's a escort lx.If I'm right swap out the rear brakes for the escort gt ones

That's already at the top of my list, because I hate not having rear disk. Just waiting for the junkyard to get an acceptable donor car in, or for one to pop up locally on CL or the forums...

[FE3-323]

yes, you bought it from josh.... i know him personally. as well as a good handful of other members here
