Sorry for being so far behind guys! I've been really busy with 2 jobs and school. On top of that my neighbors internet got shut off so no more internet for me (yes I was mooching their wifi lol)
But here's scortadict's ride which is very deserving of ROTM!
I had 3 escort in my life but i always wanted a 323, my last escort was rusted under and needed a paint job so i decided to find a 323 in good shape. i live in the maritime and it was hard to find a 323 that was not rusted. it took me about 1 year to find this one. it was almost 3h from home but i didn't care. got the car home and started working immediately on it. after 1.5 year of hard work and lot of $$$ got the car the way i wanted. it was a lot of work but its worth it. the car its a blast to drive!!
