hey y'all, sorry it's been a while, been taking care of family things, and sticking close to facebook for some odd reason...
Anyways, I bought an Escort GT 1991 Cayman edition (pretty rare considering out of 383k of them, only 56k were GT's and even fewer were Caymans!) for 500 bucks, and it needs EVERYTHING. Been sitting up since 03~, so it needs a complete rebuild/tune.
Here is the progress thus far. Going out again tonight to work on tearing it apart, so here is what we have successfully completed.
Enjoy!!!
it took like 2 hours to get it ready to pull (all in all 5 hours, but unloading it into the shop, drinkin a beer, smoking a cig, takes time ya know)
More pics up tonight after I get back. I'm gonna go ahead and post the pics I have on here, that way you can get the full experience without opening a new window/tab.
Some random interior/exterior pics...

How many people still have theirs...?
Before any work...
Got the hood off
Had to grind a bolt to get the hood off....dammit....
Removed hardware.... You can see all the battery tray and everything from the intake, removed....
[hr]
Remember to practice safety when working on cars from underneath. Remember to use your jack stands, never rely on JUST a jack to support the cars weight... **** happens.
All empty
Spindles removed,
Mark the distributor should you remove it, I scored mine for easy re-installation.

Mac, the gentleman that is helping with the build.
Other side
Looks like a leak from the VC or worse... the head....
Further out view...
Progress as of 10 pm last night.
