        Sweet. Post some pictures.

        Browse the forum. There is a huge amount of information on here about the BGs and how to make them do what you want them to do. You can also search for specific information. If you can't find what you need that way, then go ahead and make a thread to ask your question. See you around.

                eBay and amazon have been my lifesavers. I'm not much for the body visual aspect. love drivin my protege and love the way she looks goin down the road.

                  There are some descent things on rockauto.com. I have a Ford festiva, but with a sohc b8 from a 94 dx - gaskets/timing belt/etc are all reasonable on that website.

                    As far as engine parts, you should be able to use pretty much anything from the Miata aftermarket.

                    Most/many chassis and drivetrain parts will be interchangeable with second and third generation Escorts. Oh, and BP powered Sephias. They're good too.

                    Check out the Junkyard Jems thread while you're at it.

                      yepp, I just had to purchase a escort header. hate the cast iron bull**** though. I've got to say, I purchased my protege lx as a daily driver beater for a buck fifty. expecting only that but, this thing blew me away. the 1.8l dohc bp is definitely my new favorite.
