it got slow at work later today.....go figure day ofter labor day. NEhoe i drove around the dealership and found some spot to shoot some pics, including this neon that once was a pimp ride, taken in as a trade, being sold at an auction.

i snapped a few pics 2nite, i sprayed the car w/ porsche signal green, left the wheels black, and resprayed all the trim around the windows, buddy club rear, corner lenses all satin black. I also resprayed my tailights.

I'll post more pics of it in the daylight when i shoot some.

check out my myspace

Heres's some new pics of the gt. I am now driving it as a daily driver. I have finished shaving side molding, gas door, ant. I resprayed it in flat black epoxy primer, and i sprayed the wheels black with a red pearl in the clear. i cut the rear fenders out to lay it out a little more, and welded some trailer balls to the rear underbody to drag at nite. (pics coming soon.

YES, THIS IS AN ESCORT, YES, IT IS A $1200 CAR, YES I LOVE IT! U CAN HATE ON HOW ITS AN ECONOMY CAR ALL U WANT, BUT I CHOSE TO TAKE A CHALLENGING ROUTE THAT MOST MUNDANE PEOPLE ARE SCARED OF. FEWER PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR IT, AND FEWER PEOPLE WILL HAVE MODDED OUT THIS CAR. MY GOAL IS TO TURN HEADS AT LIGHTS OVER AN ESCORT THAT IS HOOKED UP. I ASK FOR U NOT TO LIKE MY CAUSE, BUT TO MEARLY RESPECT IT.

9.11.06 - Ive been bustn ass to get ready for nopi, and of course murphys law has kicked in! the gd pistons are hittin the valves on 2 pistons, so it will take a week to fly cut the pistons to clear. But on the plus, everything else on the motors has gone as planned!! i cant wait to see how it sounds! I would like to encourage ppl that want head work not to use gude performance! they did a shitty job, and clay had to redo the work. My friend bobby has been putting the 1.8 all together, and i will have new pics up soon!! It is offically bagged and plumbed and wired up. I was forced to run the 3" cylinders up front do to tire clearance, and 4" in rear. I wish i had taken step by step photos of the build up, there was a lot of cutting and welding invovled. But i basically used the honda accord brackets i got from my boy for the bottom on both the front and back, and welded them to the cut off factory struts on both front and rear. Up front i had a friend thats a machinist to make new upper strut mounts for the cylinders. In the rear, the honda brakets bolted up easy. I am using my as compressor as my air compressor for the suspension. It has an oiler on the intake side, and a air/water seporator on the exhaust side. All going through 1/2" tubing to the 8 port, 12gal. tank in the hatch area. Then i am running 8 3/8" smc valves with 3/8"line to them all, and the valves are all mounted as close to the cylinder as possible. I only have one gauge for tank pressure now, but i amy add 2 more for each corner later. I finish the moving of my pan indash tv to my new location wear the two center air vents were located on the dash bezel. And i replaced it old spot with the air gauge, and 4 switches to control various accessories. I am finishing up my amp rack panelling now, and i should be done soon enough. The gas door and radio ant are now shaved, and the gas fill is relocated to the hatch area outside the trunk gasket of course. I WILL ADD PICS SOON!!

5.15.06 - the new News is that the motor is due back in june. When i go pick it up, it will have a few mods to it. Bored over 1 mil, with wiesco domed top pistons. Gude performance cams, they hone extruded my throttle body, intake manifold, and attempted to port and polish my head. $1500 head package required my motor man, clay ewing at ewing maching in rocknigham, nc had to redo the head work, due to many inaccuraces. I have a header by genie, stage 2 clutch by zoom, waiting to be installed with it. I traded the racing seats outta my truck for some 3 and 4" air cylinders and 8 3/8" smc valves for a honda accord, so i plan to mod them to bag the gt out. I am moving hte amps outta the back seat and i put a 12 gal air tank in thier place, i have yet to decide the layout for all the equipment i have to put in the back seat, lol. My goal is to be rollig hard at nopi this year, and laying out!!

this is my 93 Escort GT. It is currently still under heavy construction and in primer, but has a few body mods. I have it fully kitted(The only kit available @ the time of kit purchase was the black widow that still requires molding, so i had to mod one from a honda) with a r33 front, and buddy club sides and rear, all molded in to the body. I also have added z3 vents into the factory metal fenders, shaved the rain gutters on the roof, and the door handles, and the windshield sprayers on the hood, and the factory spoiler off the back. I am redoing my system in fiberglass now, so i will have pics of it up soon. I am also painting some misc. engine parts so it is outta commision right now.

12.16.05 - The Glass Enclosure for the 13w7 is complete, painted in white with a blue pearl in it. I also repainted all the dash pieces to match the white w/ blue pearl. I am working on shaveing the ant. body line, and gas door next

11.11.05 - Started glassing in the 10.5 tv and 6.0 jl audio tr speakers into the trunk lid, progress photos soon to be up. All the glass/paint work on the sub enclosure is finally completed and has been painted white with blue pearl. the dash accent pieces have been painted to match as well. PS2 is being mounted under the driver seat, had to move the strobe pack aside and computer thing as well. More body mods to come before painting it, shaving gas door, relocating to hatch area, and shaving antenna and side body molding.

10.15.05 - I am now waiting on my wiesco pistons to come in that were ordered recently. My head package from gude performance is at the house and waiting to be installed on the small block whenever ewing is finished building it. the pistons ordered are one mill over and have a compression ratio of 10.75 - 1. the head has been shaved and ported/polished, new camshafts for weekend racing, intake and throttle body has been honed.

2.17.05 - Well i got my valve and timing belt coverback on only to pop the motor after a few weeks. So now im saving for the 1.8 mazda BPTr. However on the bright side, i did get my indash in before i popped the motor. check out my new pics.
