I'm trying to get the Escape done, but we have the wife's car. I have to work Monday through Thursday, so she can take me and pick me up. She's on vacation, and I work 12 (actually 13) hours a day.

 The color is about a shade darker than the Sport's current color. It'll look great with tinted windows, color matched trim and the tiny black pin stripes.

It'll be nice to rest a bit. May do some tail light resto work. The front lights are all new.

That would've been perfect. I'll never forget that little green car.

I gave the "O.K." to go ahead and weld up the c-pillar mounting holes for the emblems, and weld up the antenna hole on the fender. I may purchase a hidden antenna later. I am not installing one of those little fins on the Sport's roof.

A mark VII would be cool, but I want a little beater car. 4 cyl. motor, great on gas, and it doesn't matter if somebody smacks their door into it at any parking lot. I have the Sport for the "looks" and fun.

I haven't started looking yet. I'm watching the funds because when the Sport gets back home, I have to throw some more parts on before we're mostly done.

I put this one in my truck and it actually gives better reception than the stock antenna.  I think it was $20 or $25.

Vinnie, i dont know how bad the winters get down there but 4x4 rangers are everywhere. The 2.9s are pretty decent motors and have decent mileage that or a bronco II. Theyre everywhere or a little 2.2l s10

Ah I got ya. You know another option that's good on gas and can haul parts (if need be) is a GM A-body (Buick Century, Oldsmobile Ciera) wagon. They get good mileage, even with a 6 cylinder, and as an added bonus you can throw parts in the back and keep them out of the weather. Plus they are cheap, cheap, cheap and reliable. I'd look for a 93 and down wagon with the 3.3 V6. They are pretty bullet proof.

As far as the entenna, I saw one likt that and it would be mounted behind the header panel, or some other never to be seen area.

For the beater car, not sure. Just waiting to see what's available when the time comes. I got the Escape for almost nothing. As long as it's cheap and dependable, I'm good. Radio and a/c are not necessary. Heat and water proof on the inside is.
