I wanna play! ^^^6ish?^^^ IDK, seems stock other than the rims which aren't quite my tase but it is shiney! LOL



actually makes it easier cuz u can reach most everything by bending at the waist instead of trying to turn your kneecaps inside out

4, not a fan of painted interiors, especially on stock cars.

also, "turn your kneecaps inside out"? wat.

oh, and mine:

5 just for the cool factor of having a wagon... but its pretty much stock looking.. lol...

my other car...




The suicide hood had no impact on how easy it was to work on the motor.. it flipped up almost vertical in front of the car.. I did the B6T swap on the car with the hood on and had no problems..

that's the idea... who's going to expect a 275+whp Escort wagon?

Word. I want a 'stock' looking car myself, but the wagon is much scarier than a sedan.

I'd give the wagon a 7, just for being different, having a roof rack, and having a dent in the rear quarter like mine.

The car in the garage is my current GT, the other is the crashed 25th anniversary.

a 7 for the first pic slept posted. clean, nice stance, 94 front and i love the red pinstripe on black. some more motor and different (or non black) rims would raise my score. :D

7 I like the car overall, except I think you should continue the black bumper all the way back 1st gen gtx 2 tone style

I'll give the yellow bus in post 20 an 8.5 for having regular service done and the smiley face above the door. The steelies on the sedan earn it a canadian 6.5, which is like 99.2% of a US 6.5

^^^ 6 ... looks good pretty clean, not a huge fan of the headlights though.

You can't bend at the waist from the front of the car? Your body must be constructed very differently

also, "turn your kneecaps inside out"? wat.

Really guys? Go out to ur cars, open the hood n stand in front of the car. Now reach for something towards the back of the motor and stand like that for say 5-10 minutes. Tell me ur knees dont hurt. Now try it from the side. With the exception of a few components at the front of the engine, most things on most cars are easier to get to from the sides, but standard hoods get in the way. Never had a filp hood but I've worked on cars with the hood removed completely which is basically the concept with a flip. Im 5'5" n constructed pretty normally...all I meant by "turning ur kneecaps inside out" is that you dont feel like you're hyper-extending ur knees against the front bumper...sorry for the confusion.

I know what you meant. I'm ~5'3" and it's pretty hard for to reach anything comfortably from the front and sometimes the sides, haha. My legs get so tired/cramped when standing in front and reaching in for something. Maybe since it's lowered it'll be a bit easier, but I understood the kneecap comment.

HAHA, thanks. Winter tires on steelies is the way to go for now. My mom is the safety manager at the school bus outfit in town and I can use the shop on weekends if there is an empty bay. There is also a pit too. Comes in very handy at times.

Oh, and dual V6's, pretty awesome! I love the look of that blue one.

I give it a 10.

Hm. I've never had a problem reaching things from the side or front. Only time I've had to work solely from the front, was doing the timing belt on my old Lexus.
I find that working from any side of the bay is hard on the knees after a while, but I like being able to reach from 3 sides as opposed to just two.
Also, you can't pull anything off the front without removing the hood, if you have a flip hood like that.
