 8/11/08_I bought this 1994 Ford Escort, w/175,000 miles, I've replaced a Coil pack, Front Brakes, and New Battery. Not Bad...It's a 5-speed, Air, P/S,P/B,and Great on the gas mileage,(it gets 31 to the gal.)_The 'scort was completely stock when I got it.

 

   Anyways, I just bought a Front and Rear Bumper From a '99 Neon,  Rear bumper is getting put on next.

8/24/08_ordered a short shifter, and 95-99 neon front bumper clear corners from ebay...install, hopefully, next week.

 

Overall the car runs great, cold air, and 5-speed.  I would like to get a couple of side skirts from a 92-95 civic to throw on the sides; Installed Jensen Head Unit, replaced factory speakers, and got Sony 75 W, JVC 125 W  amps in back to push the factory speakers...Future plans include, a complete makover for the exterior. I will install the rear bumper, prefab or buy the side skirts, and prime the entire car in hot rod black primer...but for now, I'm really enjoying the the gas mileage.

  9/6/08 I just finished the short shifter install, and it's not as easy as a civic, or accord !  Remove the small coil spring wrapped around the inside of the shifter; This is the only way the shifter will come out of the housing. The new short shifter, then just slides down into the old housing, and then reassemble...It's about a two hour job from start to finish. I like the shorter throw, and the smoothness of the new shifter...

 

 

9/8/08  Decided to install the rear bumper_
