1989 Ford Escort LX from North America - Comments

"Trash to treasure"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Needed a new battery.

New inside wall panels.

New seats.

New dash.

New tires.

New engine.

New exhaust system.

General comments?

I like to work on cars a lot. So when I saw this car I had to buy it. The only thing that was really good on it was the body - mint condition with shiny red paint, no knicks or scratches.

VERY good choice in project cars.

Got my '89 Escort with 55000 on the odometer. Only needed the ignition module, serpentine belt, and tires replaced since.

Where can I buy a new replacement dash though? Mine cracked and I dunno where to get one. If any of you guys know where, email me at balmo@mailcity.com

I just bought an 89 Escort with 313000Km, but I think it runs, but I am not sure, but am I wondering if anyone knows what goes on them, then email me at a_decicco@hotmail.com.

There is another thing I would like to ask and that is that is anyone knows where the cheapest place to go and buy a clutch for it... (but I live in Ontario).

Ditto on that clutch, previous owner messed up the wiring, and burnt up the clutch, aside from needing the rear floor boards patched and the clutch replaced, my '89 Escort LX runs great and is in good shape for it's age (and I think 157,000 miles on it)
