Lower Than Low Budget '91 Escort

[greeneggsandslam]

I didn't know this thing was still around. Glad to see progress again

Don't expect this car to die out like most, it'll be around for awhile. More progress in the next two weeks. Still staying true to the low budget though.

This is a cool build but why no rear bumper??

[greeneggsandslam]

aaaaand here's an ass shot just for the lulz

[greeneggsandslam]

Here's some updates. Went with some 3.5" flares and 16x10 -64 rears & have 16x10 -51s on the way for the front. The rears are wrapped in 205/40r16 Federals and the front tires are 215/35r16 Yokohama S-drives.


Took lots of cutting.



Literally just mounted the flares on the tires & rub till it made enough clearance.




It'll be at EUEX, hopefully with insane rear camber. I'll update when the fronts on but expect a lot of changes. Just got the oil cooler for the extra race car swag this week so that'll be on soon & bumpers should be on it, I **** that caution shit.

The stretch is one of my favorite things about this setup. These federal 165/40R16s stretch sooooooo nice. Round sidewall and all

I love having the interior out of my cars and being able to look in and see how close the pans are to the ground like that lol

Haha I was thinking the same thing when I took the picture.

The interior is finally black and the door guts, headliner, & pillar plastic are all gone now. Only thing left is the dash and console. Even the steering wheel is gutted now lmao.

Get a good look at be floorboards cause they probably won't last long.

The joys of small wheels haha.

Love how it's looking with the new wheels. Not a huge widened steelie fan, but this car is also worth about $200 so they're fitting and look sweet.

This will be at H2oi?

Yes this will be at h2o if we can sort out this wheel wobble problem we keep having. Something about these 4x100/5x100 adapters are causing the wheel to pretty much pull the adapter off of threads which is no Bueno when driving 6 1/2 hours but we do have a trailer to use in case.

Love this new look!

The front wheel gap is horrendous but almost lays frame up front? Really doesn't look as low as it is

[greeneggsandslam]

Why not lower it more then?

Can't go any lower unless we get some extended top hats built or raised strut towers
