Hello. This is my first PROJECT CAR/DAILY driver. I got it from my father-in law for free'! So I'm ahead of the game already. When I got it it needed a new Head. It sat in my yard for about 6 months or so till I finally decided to do somthing about it.
My uncle gave me a 1991 escort lx hatchback that had a 5-speed tranny in it. it didn't have a title so i just used the motor and tranny to install in the wagon. dont have a good picure of the car.
My Father-in law helped me pull the motor and set it in the car. I stayed up all night finishing up the wiring and little B.S.
This is the new motor still in donor car. There is one of my favorite tool right there! LOL
Here is the old motor w/ bad cylinder and AUTO transmission it was cleaner than the donor but that's nothing degreaser can't clean.
