98' Ford Escort Zx2 - Beginning of a Rebuild


Recommended Posts

No audio updates just yet, but I just got eibach coilovers to compensate for saggy suspension when I go wall. I just got a garage too, so I can now do some work :) Just need to pick up new struts and new strut mounts and suspension will be ready to go!!!

Picked up the exact wheels that I wanted on Craigslist... brand new never mounted and brand spanking new nitto neo gen tires all for only $600 :) the 17's look gooooooood

Dude don't worry. It wasn't the original surround. It was a recone

Thanks, still needs a lot more work to be a show car :)

That sux dude!

a little goop did the trick. It's going again, but it just sounds like shit on some notes :/ as long as it lasts up until state finals I don't car. I'm going to recone it and put it in my gf's car and start my rebuild :D

that's why I want to do it. They are unpopular cars with an unseen potential. Created to compete with other tuners like the civic, neon, corolla, and other small 2-drs. Personally I would rather have this than a civic just because it's different and people seriously don't know what it is.

I have zero ford badges on the outside anymore and I was asked if it was a toyota lol, that shit doesn't happen with a civic
