Ok so this is my new (to me) car. Its a 1990 ford laser tx3 turbo. I believe an escort in the states. These were australian delivered for ford australia built by mazda using the familia gtx/gtr platform. Oh, and it's awd.
Mine has had an engine replacement from a japan gtx and runs from a gtr ecu. I bought it last month or so for $38oo. In top condition are fetching up to $12k.
It needed a lot of love, previous owner/s failed to appreciate what they had and as a consequence let a lot of it deteriorate.
Since purchased she's got new oil (redline) oil filter, coolant (redline water wetter), new plugs, new leads, calipers rotors and pads up front, globes throughout, redline light weight sick proof gear oil for tranny and rear diff.
I also got 2nd and reverse back, removing the CHICKEN WIRE holding the shifter cable in place, and replaced it with a propet clip.
Apologies for pic quality, I promise I'll get some better ones with a real camera..
Ive also pimped it out for work
(I'm a security dog handler) so rear seats and trim are removed, a barrier cage installed, reflectors and amber light on roof added among some other I believe tasteful mods.
anyway here's a couple of crummy pics..
The pic as it was advertised
The front with added "vents" I installed
0.6mm alloy sheet door trim that was destined for the 121 but necessity dictated I replace the mess that was there before. I think it looks sweet.
And as she sits now, complete with mutt in back.
