Lower Than Low Budget '91 Escort

[grayling953]

Rustoleum is your best bet for spraypaint. Do something cool like satin purple

[greeneggsandslam]

This car isn't low enough at all and its pissing me off. As of right now I've got about 2 3/8" clearance to my exhaust. Fuck it, I'll be cutting atleast another 1/2 a coil off all around this weekend.
And since I didn't post any clearance shots..


Gotta get some wheels on this piece of shit asap but, anyone have paint color ideas? Spray paint that is.

So in.

I miss having a car i dont care about and can rattle can/ perform hoodrat activities on....in for more low

[Motoman325]

Turns out getting low on cut springs isn't as easy as many assume. Cutting 2 coils wasn't even close to where I wanted to be...

Such a familiar sight. I love these cars, learned how to drive stick in one

looking good already

15" 4x100 wheels? So euroweaves? LOL. Good luck getting them for less than you bought the car for.

Spring for the 14" basketweaves, they're dirt cheap as well as bottlecaps.

Looking forward to the stupid shit.

Yeah sorry, I was thinking the e32 bottlecaps were 4x100, my bad.
There's always a bunch of old 4x100 wheels at the BMW shop I work for so it shouldn't be hard to get a price that fits my budget, just don't know if the 14s will fill my wheel wells like I want.

[greeneggsandslam]

As long as there is weight on the springs to hold them.in the perches, fuck it. Pretty sweet. fuckless cars are the best.

That's what I'm saying,I'll probably even go lower, fuck it. Appreciate it man, it ain't got shit on your merc though, hopefully I'll see that thing at sowo.

Whats the current size of wheels that are on it now? Get a rear bumper for it.
Also make sure your springs wont go anywhere. I had a bad experience when i cut my springs..

The wheels are a massive 13"s, planning to put some old 15" bmw wheels on it before sowo for camouflage & I'm trying to get a bumper but it's ridiculous how much oem ones are.
I got the springs to seat by holding them in place while lowering the car, they haven't popped out yet. Basically riding bumpstops anyway.

What's funny is, I almost bought one of these shitboxes. I would actually buy an early Escort wagon if I could find one.

Have fun at sowo, be sure to take your raincoat.

Also, what is that buggy in pic1?

I would def recommend them asside from the horrible design of the valve cover which always leaks. & that was originally a 54 beetle that has now been turned into an open wheel hotrod/dunebuggy

Interesting.

Subscribing for more shenanigans.

This car is so bad, I actually want to see more!

[ethangram]

I've always wondered what a low escort would look like, I'm excited to see your progress haha
