Lower Than Low Budget '91 Escort

[greeneggsandslam]

I have a painted front bumper off a 94 lx, also have lx wheels and maybe some minty blue front seats... Just saying, love escorts I don't know why

What size are the lx wheels?

The Avids don't look too bad. Have you thought of Vette turbines?

Idk I didn't think they made them in 4x100?

No couldn't get them because the guy wasn't willing to add some cash to the trade of one of my instruments worth about $1500. Maybe but that's a big maybe. I love the ATS classics but I'm trying to avoid paying big bucks on a car like this and losing money that I could put towards an E36. More likely that I get some Avid 1 AV-17s.

Did you get those basketweaves by chance? I know they are expensive but maybe ATS Classics at some point?

So I tried to go lower.. I cut the bumpstop in half only to find that the other half of the bumpstop is now sitting on my bottom perch. I literally cannot go lower on cut springs in the front. The lever of safety hazard has now been defined haha

Oh, btw as you can see I had my hand between the tire and fender well to get this picture so there was still more downward travel after this which is totally beyond me

"Sexcort Ricebox" HAhahahHAhahah

Yeeeeeah it's hard for me to be serious about this car sometimes

Avids are gay get real wheels.

Is what I would say if they were going on a mercedes or something fancy. But with this it doesnt really matter lol.

Do whatever you want.

Thats funny because I love those AV-17s but I didn't want to post anything about them because I figured I would get shit for even thinking about knock off wheels. I think something like those would fit the early 90s/track inspired/hoodrat theme I'm going for perfectly

Dude, it's your car, do what you want to do to it. If you like the AV-17s, put them on there. If people give you shit, oh well. You're the one driving it. You're the one building it. You're the one that gets to call the shots. If people don't like it, that's their problem.

Thanks man I really appreciate all of the positive support. I was on the verge of just giving up on taking this build anywhere before I posted my build thread but I've been encouraged to keep it going by everyone.

Yea man ofcourse! Just do it. You'll regret it if you don't.

[greeneggsandslam]

Loving this build man.

Ronald turbos are awesome, but rare. Avid1 makes some similar style reps.
