    No, not yet! I was having a short issue in those wires, the car sometimes wouldn't start, i wiggled that part of the harness and it would start.

      Thanx! I have to be strong for our 4 little girls. Hopefully everything will fall into line and we'll be able to function as a family minus one.

Again, sorry to hear about the passing, i'll have to keep you in my prayers.
          Thanx for the condolenses! She was a huge part in our lives, which is now leaving a void for us. We'll pull through this and come out stronger in the end. Jenn will be missed, but never forgotten! As for the Pony, I have a EGT BP in my shed waiting to be put in, just need a complete wire harness, ECU, Exhaust manifold, and tranny. I recently got a tranny from a local guy off craigslist, but its no good, the housing is cracked. After cleaning all the krud off it, thats when I noticed it. I was also contemplating just keeping the 1.9 and just doing the 2.0 head swap, and turboing it. What do ya think of that Idea?

            It's been awhile since my last visit. Some things are moving in the right direction, my kids are healthy, my Pony is running again, the house repairs are coming along and should be finished by the fall. As for the Pony, I was able to fix the damage under the hood from the fire, engine bay wash and install of the new wire harness, battery, and starter. Also ended up having to replace the computer module also. It's running but have a check engine light on the dash, have to figure that one out.

              Also I decided to indulge a little and bought an OBX 4-1 polished header. Had it installed by the local performance shop and they also installed some new piping with a new high flow catalytic converter. Sounds real sweet. Will post pictures when the snow stops and melts.

                The White GT next to my Pony is my new car!
                1991 Escort GT almost showroom condition in and out.
                Bought it for $400 from a 65 year old who garaged it most of its life. Very little rust.
                Interior pristine, exterior almost pristine with one little rust area on passenger side rear quarter panel.
                More on that later.

                    I still have my red EGT, just not in the picture. It has a fully rebuilt BP in it.

                      Been tinkering around with ideas for the Pony. I still have my BP sitting in my shed, and I was offerred a 2.0 head from a newer escort. I want to go BP but with my other two cars in various stages of builds, I'm not sure if I can swing another big ta do.
                      While I figure that dilema out, I've been getting the exterior where I've been wanting to get it. I recently purchased a Civic Mugen lip kit and fitted it to my car, I've been pricing around to get the car prepped and painted. So here it is so far.
