hi all this is my 93 escort lx converted and in the process of being a escort gt i have already put the whole gt drive train into it now im working on the 4 wheel disc brakes . ive had the car for 7 years and am happier that ever it just went from 100 horsepower with a way souped up 1.9(stock engine) to a 140 hp( a/c and p/s)removed ,and a few little mods to being the ride of my life it handles like a dream and its fast as hell here are some pics i have done it all my self but have two wonderful kids so progress is slow .lol

Man, I like your wagon.

I have a '95 Escort LX wagon. I've just recently started giving thought to rebuilding it and making it nice again. It's a fun car to drive, and it has room for my kids and my equipment.

Where did you get the red valve cover and timing cover ?
Did you paint those yourself ?

Where can I get a strut brace like that ?
Did you also mount a strut brace between the rear towers ?

[stylingtwagon]

yes i painted them my self its 1200 deg duplicolor red .
u can get strut tower braces from ebay anythin from a mazda 1991 to 91 323,mx-3 and mostly protege fits our cars seats engine tranny ,etc
yes i have a rear brace it took a little cutting of some plastic but it made a big differnce and it looks cool . i can out handle mustangs infinity g35s almost every honda i have coil overs with totico s/r struts and zr rated tires plus about 145 hp from this motor swap .
