New Beater - 1997 Ford Escort Wagon - 5 speed!

Bought me a cheap little beater, needs some work, full of bad gas, what else is new?

Craft up a template in the shape of the oval the radio fits into but with rectangle hole for normal radio. Then add a tach somewhere for revs. Likely gonna need some higher end speakers than the dandruff paper cracklers thats in the doors now... it will be ghetto fabulous in no time! I like it, cool little car. 😊

Hunk some beer cans out the windows on the gravel roads for sure with that one.😂

Don't drink, don't like people who litter, had to clean that shit up at the house I grew up in. Road was above the roof line of the house on the hill, we frequently found cans and bottles on our roof.

@DeadReckon it's a joke dude, stereotypical of that kinda car.

[@CoolRobsGarageOfficial]

Overlook the killer camaro from outer space... 😂😂😂

[@DeadReckon]

Yep haha

[@gunnlover]

keep gunning that shit bro :)

Oh if I'd had some land to drive that car on, it would've had way more than full throttle to worry about after letting me down like it did.

Great cars but the way the valve seats are designed, one of them will almost certainly fail at some point. They still sell refabbed heads for these which correct the issue, must get if you plan on relying on this. Dropped valve seat can cause a lot of damage. They are otherwise really nice cars. My first car was a '99 Escort Wagon.

[@DeadReckon]

I let this one go down the road, was way more than I planned on getting into.

fuck it show thier names😂

[@Fileeraus]

Why is it that the American export model European Ford is more European than the European Fords here. Also that radio is really awful lol

[@DeadReckon]

Yeah the head unit is going away very soon for a pioneer head unit I've had in a few cars now. This car is kind of weird in a lot of ways. Also I still smell the gas, I think that smoke is burned into my nose 🤣
