As for the direct replacement sunroof, look in general I think for my Escort Powered Moonroof Swap. Its very easy to do. The escort Moonroof will fit with ease in its place. Plus the 626 controls fit perfect in the opening. The Escort controls fit, but dont cover much. I did it and used BG Protege controls since the base fits better in the slot. Im very happy with it. The glass is a perfect fit, plus the powered unit is lighter then the Manual.

Good cleanup by the way. That thing looks awesome! I wouldnt sell it, ide clean it up and drive it.

i looked at it didnt see what i was looking for in it can you do just a panel swap or do i have to do the whole track like i stated i just wanna do the glass ONLY if it bolts in to the manual frame ???

[FamiliaGT]

It does, theres a few guys that have done that. I dont know personally how, as I did the full Swap (Really is much nicer!!)
But it has been done.

well i learned a NEW ONE today i have NEVER seen this before but for those who may have a slush box like me in their BF. and have a HELL of a time finding cv axles. a 1989 323 Hatch manual non turbo 5 speed only trans cv axles is the SAME as the 87 and 88 4 door sedan slush box trans cv axles... i argued for 20 min with the guy (yep i shouldn't have) since i have NEVER in my life seen a manual cv axle work in a slush box trans.

When I did the 5 speed swap in my BF, we used the same axles. I thought this was common knowledge.

Looked at it today...no brake fluid leaking, level is fine...PB Blasted the hood latch and it works much better. Drove it and stood on the brakes - locked up atleast 1 tire. LOL It stops so it's obviously road worthy.

Attached my new fan to my new rad. Now I just need to drop it in and fill it. Also need to hook up my intake pipes still. Can't wait.

Looking to build hybrid turbo, but not sure what to expect.
