I'm 63 years old, married, with 2 kids. I guess you could describe me as a 'technologist'. I've got a degree in electronics, which I've adapted to be automotive electronics and technology. I enjoy fixing up cars, and keeping the old iron running.

My wife's father (deceased these many years) bought a 95 Escort wagon for his wife. She drove it for a while, then it got passed down thru my wife's sisters, each of whom used it and abused it, bashed it and trashed it, until the car eventually ended its suffering by dropping a valve seat.

That's when we inherited the car, in pieces as a basket case. I swapped in an engine from Greenleaf Recyclers, and have spent the last few years restoring this Escort Wagon, piece by piece.

And the saga continues. Welcome aboard.
