Krazyman's Project GT Work Log...

[Krazyman]

Ok, I am going to start a work log from this point out becasue of two reasons... I've been toying with the idea of fixing the Protege for daily use and finishing the Escort in my off time as i don't have a vehilce right now (Thank god for the MBTA trains)

I'm Going to need some feedback on this because i'm starting to get fustrated with the wagon... here are the pics:

First The Protege... (the front is how i bought it... the only real problem)



























Escort is next!!

[Krazyman]

I think it's pretty much it....

The Protege needs a front bumper (hopefully a GTX), Headlights (straight not slant), fenders, hood, corners and windshield.... and the rear-end put back together... i have all the parts to but it back, but the escort needs the same things... so my current delema is do i just finish the escort or put the protege back together and clean up the wagon the correct way...

I love both so i figured i'd ask people i trusted here at give me some good feedback!!

I forgot to mention the Protege has a Sunroof... but the metal is rusting a little bit...can it be changed for glass without any issues... i don't like the metal...

i might want to trade with you or buy some parts from that protege... the trunk lid looks rather appealing

good luck with the project, i'd lend a hand if i had more free time and i lived closer haha

[Krazyman]

Yea the trunk is super clean!! Right now i'm trying to figure out with all the Escort rust problems if it's even worth continueing with it I didn't see most of this before cause i didn't have a light and there is no power in the garage

I'm thinking of doing the protege instead... So what you guys think... if you'd like more pics i can take them... I took these with my phone...

I'll list the items i've gotten already in a few...

[Krazyman]

Understandable but what's the pet stuff for LOL

[miK3Pro]

what part of massachusetts you live? there a junkyard in middleboro that has a few proteges, 323s, and some mx3s....

[Krazyman]

I'm in Brockton, near Easton and Stoughton... where are you?

[miK3Pro]

chelsea(boston area)..so your not that far from that JY..hope you can restore that protege.

[Krazyman]

Are exhaust heat shields nessecary? I'm talking all the way through not the exhaust mani's...

[miK3Pro]

nah they are just 20 lbs. of extra weight lol jk... im not sure but i think you can take them off

[Kris]

fix that protege and post some pics!! i always liked that trunk lid too

[Krazyman]

Why is everyone so interested in the trunk lid?

Yea well... with the weather getting really cold and raining... hard to do that Mr. God... but i know what you mean i wish i had more time... but i'm not giving up on it!

Thankx miK... i was thinking it probably wasn't totally nessecary too... makes the exhaust easier to work on...

keep up the good work man
