Nice build man cool thats its in wisconsin too,, Hope this is all just sorta test/get it on the road then tighten things up... I wish I coulda saw this before you threw the guages in there...

Cyberdyne has great gauge combos for a cluster replacment also very easy to get a sponsor from.. I was able to get around 600 bucks worth of thier gauges for free.. wouldnt heart to send them an email and some build pics they might give ya some.

the cluster is nice man. this is how i planned to do my cluster as well. it beats trying to rewire the whole damn thing to make an oem one work, or even replacing the whole dash. lol

Thanks for the info but IMO digi gauges just look tacky and ricerish, but ya I would of had it out yesterday till my radiator broke and i'm to poor to get a new one.

Lol thanks, the car is not cean, lol. The swap was done when I bought the escort, but there was a tired old klde in it, so me and my roomate swapped in my rebuild de/ze hybrid with the turbo set up lol


Thanks for all the compliments on my car and my work.


Something really funny about this is that this is the only project I have yet to get rid of half way thro.

[TheOnenOnly]

well i like the color with the black w/chrome lip rims and black trunk u should do the hood black too. oh well right now im gatherin all the parts ima need for a de swap in my pro im plannin on turboin it too thats why i ask any good advise??lol you should keep the scort i normally dont like them but im feelin the set up and color scheme on it though

[TheOnenOnly]

The first is how rims used to look.

The sencond is how they look now.

The third is of my buddy and mine other project.

[KLSWAPEDEGT-T]

The black and chrome rims are gone, the green ones are now purple to match my intake manifold. I'm looking in to a cf hood and cf hatch. I'm also sanding it all down and getting it resprayed the ford factory pink that it is, to get rid of some of the rust and dings and dents.
