98' Ford Escort Zx2 - Beginning of a Rebuild


Recommended Posts

Got some issues I see:( question tho my friend, is it worth it to plasty dip my wheels? They are Chrome stock, but I always like black rims. Not sure if it would look good

It's cheap enough. Try it and if you don't like it then take it off. I am out of my plastidip phase though :P I won't be plastidipping these kickass wheels now. But it can definitely enhance some stock wheels. You don't have to go with black, they have other great colors to pick from

So I just did my entire headliner (moon roof included) in charcoal suede, but it turned out like ass (to my standards). So I might take a pic, but I'm definitely taking it to a shop with more experience than my to do it :P

also put sound deadener on the roof on whatever spots weren't taking up by the massive moon roof or moving parts.... which wasn't much unfortunately :(

I like the fact that I know what the car looks like stock, and this looks like this, that's saying something considering you don't have any huge mods to this thing

GO LOWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! It's addicting. I want mine lower now too. Problem is I have a hard enough time going in and out of my drive way as it is. LMAO! Maybe bags are next!

Looking good man!!

Front coils are at it's lowest, unless I shave the spring seat on the struts. the rears may need spacers after my build... seeing that they are 5 threads away from max height... luckily they are 200 lb/in spring rate so I still have some play with them after I get more weight
