    Escort Build Up!!!!

    Well i figured i would make a work log on the new project. the build up of my 95 escort lx. my plans for this car will be to swap in the gtx block with gtr rods and wiesco pistons. along with the block swap in the N/A head. hopefuly the head will be ported. but only time will tell on that. im going to take pic's of all the junk i have sitting around waiting to go in it. but to start here is a pick of the car.



    my last escort just turned into rust so i had to let it go and that when i found this. there is no rust at all on this one!!!!!!

    T3/T4 57 trim turbo, miata manifold fliped and deltagate



    the turbo looks like its a cheap ebay one but its just the housing swaped on a garrett turbo

            here is a pic of the evo bumper i picked up before christmas from a guy of the forum. He said he has had it from the group buy years ago and never used it. so i met him in northern MD and picked it up.


            Cant wait to get this thing on but i think i should have a motor in first!!
