During one of my many days at the junk yard I noticed something on a wrecked gold 3gee that i had passed several times... a white leather seat hanging out of the window... I had to check it out. It was an se-i with a fully intact rear end, so I stole all of it for a mere 80$ I love my junkyard!

So looking at these se-i parts in my back yard got me ichin for another 3gee. I started hunting, I wanted an 89 2door 5spd lxi. I found one and stole it as well for 350$ Got smacked in the front drivers and has no fifth other then that and 300k Its CLEAN!! And a perfect vessel for serious modifications.

Im super pumped up for this build and had to show everyone!

Yup I got the cables.. I even got the mounting brackets.
When I noticed this rear disk system I took no prisoners.
I grabbed it all, at the time they were about to close, I had all that in a wheel barrow in about 15-20 mins :) :) I wasnt gonna leave without it. I mean what if some old boys wife has one of these and hes gonna jack a caliper at open? Not a chance, lol!!

Oh, can you get the clips for the outside rear side window trim? I broke mine and of course, Honda can't get them anymore :(

dammit, that SE-i rear subframe has a disgustingly small amount of rust! You must live the most wonderful place on earth.

ya washington is really good for not having rust on cars normaly when i see a car with a ton of rust it has out of state plates

Washington is great for the cars. My 3gee sucks compared to yours, but there is almost no rust on the thing. Once I get the fenders and bumpers swapped out it will be much better looking though. Just white in front and silver everywhere else.

So Im having an issue. I know this isnt the right place, sorry.

My kik fuse panel doesnt seem to follow the scheme on the sticker whatsoever...

the sticker says that fuse#15 is my left tail light and that 14 is the right taillight and licence plate lights..

My voltmeter shows nothing on fuse 15.. Nothing.
14 works just fine but when i pull it I lose my dash lights as well.
the sticker says nothing about the dash.

This all started because im wiring in some gauges and I cant find the right dimmer wire. Every wire I test for the dimmer loses voltage when I turn the brightness up and gains it when I turn it down(which i guess represents load)

Next is the air/ratio guage, when I turn the ignition or the engine on it starts at lean and goes up to rich and stays at max rich. Its grounded on the block and everything, maybe i just have the wrong o2 hooked up, i do have 2 of them.

Thanks for any info.. ill keep reading and testing. :banghead:

so that's a sweet find there and a steal of a price.

on a side note, if you ever see another one of those Escorts, take a look at the dash and tell me it's not near identical to ours.

Washington! We get hardly any snow, so minimal salt on the roads to rust us out. And no sunlight, so UV damage is usually minimal.
