    Default My new money pit/project..

    I had it for about a 2 weeks, and i have almost spent the price of the car on maintenance stuff and small repairs...lol But i love it so far, it rides great.. has plenty of room. i sold the escort to a guy in NH..soo its long gone... . i got alot of plans for this, but it needs some love, but for the price i still came out good! The body is straight, has scuffs on the front like they played bumper carts or some shit with it... No rust or hard dents anywhere.. pretty good for a 16 year old car..

    Need:
    Suspension Work
    Paint
    Interior Door Panels
    Wheels
    Tint
    Oil Pan Gasket
    Front Seals
    O2 Sensor

    What ive done:
    Brakes
    CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN!!!!
    Window Regulators
    Random Sensors replaced
    Intake Hose replaced

    I think im gonna keep the color silver just darken it up....suggestions appreciated.







    updated picture..nice and clean (as its gonna be)

    At first I thought to myself: "wtf kind of project is this?"

    But then after seeing pics of modded ones, WOW!

    I would inspire this project from this pic as well, but would debadge it.

    Love the 929. I contemplated buying one once but I could never find one in good enough condition.

    If you ever need parts for your 929, just remember that the Millenia and the 929 share alot of suspension and brake parts. And BTW, I still have that JE48 ECU and I also have a couple of JE50 VAF's sitting around so let me know something. Nice find, BTW. When that motor coming out for an RX7 engine and trans?

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    From the first picture I knew that it was a 929 and you were planning on VIPing it. Good choice.
