        A bit off topic, but pimp my ride didn't like the clipped idea on an escort.... I just hope that we won't see groshong driving a Scion with a huge wing after all is said and done. 🙂 🙂 Best of luck on the swap, and mad props on trying something different... I hope it all works out safely and fully functional!!

          That had something to do with only 9 little welds and a bunch of liquid nails holding the car together though...... I think he'll do better than that.

            Speaking of that, there are now exact replicas (except smaller of course) of that scion sitting at wal-mart in the car toys isle. MTV has started making "Pimp My Ride" RC cars.

            Ok, back on topic.

              I sure hope he would do better.... It was just the first thing that came to mind when I read about welding the clip to the car....

              I have faith!

                This is matt posting on justin's name. I have done alot of research on this subject I have decided to more than likely clip the car but i have found some rust spots that are pretty bad so i might just firewall swap but the car needs a new front radiator support/headlight housing and drivers side panal above the front wheel. Just to clarify for you guys doubting me this is safe and very posable to do right. also be for you start the uninformed hating you sould take a look at Fallguy's car to see what he has done. (welding susp. parts on a unibody is bad HMMMM...). I hate to be a dick but you guys only say shit because i'm not some idolized tuner like dave or fallguy (no offence guys just the truth). and dark elvis what do you know about body work??? so if anybody comes up with something constructive to say please post.

                    Don't get mad at me, I am just saying that logically, when you cut a car in half you trash it's structural integrity. I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm just saying that for safety sake, do the firewall swap.

                      Don't get me wrong, I'm excited as hell to see it done and think it is cool that someone in fargo is undertaking the task, I just hope that it is done in a safe manner.

                          I do believe that Matt is installing a full cage in his car to comply with NHRA regulations. His car is a total different mule. He is also converting to rwd. I wish you the best of luck. Hope it turns out well for you.

                            ^what he said. Matt never cut his car in half, he tubbed it. There is a difference.

                            Getcher green hat, we are goin fishin.
