    Looking for help to get My escort gt running!

    My EGT has been out of commision for 2yrs since my last rebuild try didn't end so well.
    My last try, I rebuilt the head after getting it machined and put new head gasket in it, to find out that there wasn't any compression in the #2 cylinder. Since then i've torn the engine back down to the block to replace the pistons, rings, cam bearings and main bearings.
    I have all the necessary parts, but don't have the necessary tools and knowhow.
    The problem I have is that I don't have a garage and can't afford a storage unit.
    If there is any interest let me know and I'll work out a fee and date to do this. I'd like to do it in a weekend if possible. I'm looking for april or may if possible.
    Thank you!

          Thanx Matt! I thought you moved or something. Yeah any hlep will be appreciated.
          I'm looking to start on a saturday and hopefully have it running on that sunday. Hoping for March as long as it's warm enough unless we can fit it in by end of February. Do you have the necessary tools to put the new pistons in and a torque wrench? If so that'll be awesome, if not maybe we can get someone else to chime in to help us.
          I'll PM ya on the details of date when a little closer.

                If you want to trailer it to Indiana, I would be willing to do it too. I have ring compressors, torque wrenches, a hoist, and anything else we'll need. I've rebuilt a few BPs in my day.

                  Id take ya up on it but my baby daughter is sick and a special needs child, and I also have 3 other kids that I wouldn't dare leave with my wife for a couple days alone. They would drive her nuts! LOL!

                    I would also be willing to do it all for you if you wanted to drop it off and pick it up when it was done.

                      I appreciate the offer but Indiana is a little to far and costly to toe the car to! Alone the fuel and the drive time alone and also getting a hotel room is alittle out of budget! I'm from Harrisburg, PA. It would be about a 8-10 hour trip out if not more and deisel is over $4 a gallon to bring on my tow truck.
                      It just wouldn't be cost effective. Thank you again for the offer but I'll have to decline!

                        Yes I am moving to California. I will probably be moving in June. Around April I will be parting my car if you need or want anything that I might have.

                            Obviously i will make more money parting it. There is a nice sized rust hole that makes it not legal for state inspection. Luckily i have hookups.

                            My plan is to part out most of the car and keep a few parts for my next one once i move. Then the body is going to be used for a car smash to raise more money to move haha

                              Hey Matt, how's saturday March the 3rd sound to you? I'll have off work and I'll have everything ready.
                              When you start parting out your GT, I'd like first dibs on you Mx3 seats and your motor and transmission.
                              I'd beable to pick them up instead of bothering with shipping. What ya say!!!
