Here' s my 1998 Escort zx2, I've had it since August of 2006. The point of my build is to make a car that's better in every way than it was when it came from the factory, I want it to be faster, better looking, and more efficient while at the same time making minimal sacrifices to comfort and convenience. I plan on keeping it n/a as my dd but other than that anything's fair game. When I got it it's only options were 14" alloy wheels and an auto transmission. Since then I've added:
