So I got this Escort from a wrecker/dealership for $350. It had a clean title and x75k miles. It runs great and so far the only thing I've had to replace were the spark plugs, fuel filter, and get an oil change. Good deal!
The interior isn't in bad shape. Nothing is missing and only a few small broken parts (like the glove box hinges) but it was mostly just dirty. Above all, I hate gray! So since the car exterior is red, I'm going for a red/black interior theme.
So far I've painted all of the front interior, and recovered the headliner.
I still need rear seat covers, paint the rear plastics, get some floor mats, new shift knob and pedals, and recarpet the whole car (black). The current carpet is very gray and very disgusting. After all said and done, I'll replace those awful paper cones that they call "speakers" with some nice ones. Then, maybe the exterior/engine... if it's worth it.
I have most of the front plastic installed again and it looks sexy, but I want to wait until I get new carpet before I snap those photos. So stay tuned for the finished product.
