Picked up Escort #7 today (yesterday?)- a 93 Cayman Green GT with 155k for $375. I'll take some pics tomorrow, but here's the current plan:
ASAP:
-replace front brake line (no "oh ****" clip, the outer casing is cracked from rubbing the strut) and bleed brakes
-install some shifter bushings and Kartboy SS (there is a good 4" of play when the car is in gear)
-adjust handbrake so it actually works
-replace leaky coolant overflow bottle, get air bubbles out of coolant system
-replace driver's headlight
-replace wiper blades
Within the next month:
-add boost (VJ20, BP26 ECU, BP26 manifold modified for external WG, CS downpipe, Audi SMIC, etc)
-replace rear hard lines
-install MX3 seats
-realign passenger door, figure out why the windows are hanging up
-patch hole in floor
Sooner or later:
-Outback Sport hood scoop
-Hella Supertones and driving lights
-Quickor rear bar
-Pierce subframe brace
-Roodworks motor mount, fill the others with window weld
-fix power mirrors
-fix sagging/torn headliner
-repair rust on passenger side quarter
-disty o-ring, VC gasket
-stereo
