Change the oil and keep up on the maintaince. It is not worth putting much
money into it.

Save the money for college, a new house or a new car. Jeff

Basically, that's what I told my boy.... Gave him a 97 Ranger for
graduating.... I keep it safe and dependable in exchange for "favours" which
can keep him hopping... At 19, he owns his own home (well, him and the
morgage company).

Once he gets established, he'll have a lot of opportunities to have some
really nice toys....

Word to the wise.... it is seldom a good diea to hotrod your daily driver...
The quest for "more" will eventually render the car undriveable - a chore to
drive - or possibly just plain unreliable.

I was young once (honest).. and there's all manner of things I wish I'd done
different.

Then, you've done more than you should have.

You do all the other stuff, like put in a new cam, maybe a new chip,
whatever. What do you get for your troubles when you go sell it? Not much.

Save it for the Mustang. Jeff

It should be,

And, unlike the Escort, it will be worth something when finished. ;-) Jeff

Do the neons and chrome covers make it go faster?

Looks aren't gonna get it faster.

A new intake, cams, and such *might* be worth it, but the others are
right, save the money for the 'Stang
