I was touring the junkyard last week and the owner asked if id be interested in an escort wagon.Living in Wisconsin, i asked about the body.They said it was mint, so i went the same night to go check it out.Long story short, i picked the car up the next day.The car has 74k original miles and looks/drives like new.It was owned by some old couple and has been sitting in a pole barn for the past 3 years due to the husband dying and the wife had no experience driving stick.The car kinda has a faint smell of barn.Its a 91 lx with factory roof rack delete,no rear wiper,no a/c,no egr, and the grey bumpers.I did a few minor exterior modifications so far to hold me over till i can get the v6 swap in.I took the side moulding off,removed all emblems and bumper stickers,and put my bronze protege lx wheels on.Im hoping to pick up either my old suspension setup or a new setup in the next week or so.Heres some pics after i washed it today.

as soon as i can find a decent v6 trans, the swap will be done.I kinda feel bad about doin the swap in this car though cuz its so damn clean and reliable.Im averaging about 120miles to 1/4 tank.If i do the swap on this car though, im deff gunna clean up the motor and make it look stock under the hood almost like its a factory car.93 Escort Wagon V6-SOLD

ive got egt sideskirts and hopefully a LTS bumper from another member, but being a wagon, i have no stock options for the rear bumper.Im still debating whether to just keep it stock with the LTS bumper and sell the skirts or try it without the rear bumper.Idk yet but time will tell i guess93 Escort Wagon V6-SOLD

you could try moulding the egt rear bumper bottom section to the wagon bumper, it would be different and pretty sure it would look good91 protege gt. dropzone mx3 springs, mx3 crossmember, ractive front and rear strut braces, rear lower mx3 brace, 4 wheel disc brakes, corksport ss brake and clutch lines,kvr front pads, ractive cai,ram air hood scoop, modified front bumper, shaved ant and rear trunk lock, fubu ant, short shifter, corksport bronzeoil shifter bushings,92 glass sunroof and tail lights, mx3 center console, autometer gauges (volt and oil pressure) cluster needles painted to match, sound system, 17 inch eagle alloy 193 with 205 40 17 rubber. klze is ALIVE BABY!! . http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2394656http://www.toprotege.com/forums/show...hlight=project[url]

You got one of the No EGR 1.9 Intakes also! I have one of those for sale, nice score man.This is my BP. There are many like it but this one is mine. My BP is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my BP is useless. Without my BP I am useless. I must drive my BP true. I must drive straighter than my enemy, who is trying to beat me. I must beat him before he beats me.
