This was this weeks project I call it Project: POS its a 95 ford escort. Motor blew about a year ago and my brother finally got a motor for it. Unfortunately the motor is in a beat up wagon so we have to pull 2 motors. First motor took about 6 hours to get out...I know... I had to buy some special tool for the fuel lines then the axles wouldn't come out. On top of me getting a stomach bug so I'm feeling really bad.

A year of rust. I don't think these are any good now???

I'll get pics of the demolition derby wagon tomorrow.

Haha, sounds like you're having fun. Those brake rotors look fine to me. Just make sure you have a loooooooooooooooong road in front of you when you first try to stop with 'em.

So what's this car for? Just a beater?

Well my brothers 74 Chevy truck is dieing and its a gas hog. Hes currently driving a friends v6 explore(also bad on gas) to work. The escort is in really good shape just the motor is gone. Plus it was given to him for free. He gave $150 for the wagon so were swapping it out then scraping the wagon along with the blown motor, auto trans, and 2 other motors that are sitting in my garage. We should get the $150 back so free motor in a free car.

No problems there. Man I wish I had that kinda time on my hands. School sucks. But even at home, my dad's got the garage so full of crap there's nowhere to work. I really need my own garage. I don't need a house, just somewhere to work. I can set up an airmatress in the corner. It'll be all good.

Just out of curiosity, what's that blue car in the background? Almost looks like a Starion.

That's what it is a 88 Dodge conquest/Mitsubishi starion. Motors blown and torn down and in the trunk its been like that for 3 years now. Poor car was so much fun when it was running. May be getting a V8 installed shortly but its not mine so I don't know 100%.

Forget that mess. Rebuild that motor and turbo the piss out of it. The guy who runs the local tire shop here has one that he claims makes 600 hp. I saw it at the drag strip once. I don't remember the times but it was QUICK!!!

90crxowner · 10-02-2008, 07:34 PM

Trust me if it was my car it would of been running 3 years ago. As of right now its taking up half my garage and I wish it was gone.

Here's the wagon Warning it will scare you!!!!

**8695Beaters** · 10-02-2008, 11:02 PM

Dear God... You weren't ****tin when you said it was a demolition derby car. You sure that engine runs?

90crxowner · 10-03-2008, 08:40 AM

Yea I put a battery in it replaced the 100amp fuse and it started on the first try motor turned over 2 times and started on the 3rd.

surprised the hell out of me seeing it hasn't started in a year and half. I only ran it for a min (old oil and gas)but it idles great and sounds good.

**8695Beaters** · 10-03-2008, 08:46 AM

Haha. Gotta love those derby guys, they gotta keep that engine running.
