I needed a spare car to drive, so after some looking around I picked up a 94 escort wagon in decent shape with 134k on it. This will be my primary ride while I work on the green hatchback. It is a 1.9 of course with an auto just in case the wife has to drive it, but that's ok since long term plans involve a manual trans.
Since I still have the other wagon I parted out and some of its parts, I have already robbed a few items off it that needed replacing on the new wagon. Suspension is shot, so I will be putting in the ground control setup, new inner tie rods, and an ES bushing kit.
Got some new hatch lift struts coming, new dash mat to protect the still perfect dash, and some darker 2% window tint. It seems to have about 25%-30% on it now.
I replaced a few bulbs last night, checked fluids, checked tires, and installed the all red tracer tail lights, and I hope to make a junkyard trip soon since there is an EGT with a perfect front bumper with the factory fog lights still in it, and I hope it still has the side skirts. After topping it off with a Millen grill that will complete the exterior.
To all the wheel experts on here, I have a set of basically brand new 17 konig starlite wheels and 80% tread tires from the other wagon. I don't like black wheels and don't really want 17's.
What are some good wheels I could find on the cheap in 15-16" in bronze? I would really like to sell the 17's and break even or come out ahead if I sell them and buy new wheels/tires.
Last but not least are my long term plans of an F2T swap when the 1.9 pops, and we all know it will.
I apologize for the lack of pictures, but I will get some up later.
