Ahh the 1987 Ford Escort - "5" door, 5-Speed GL. Bought it from my mom for $1.00. I installed my own deck that only turned on when the head lights were on. I installed the old house speakers with the subs in them. Left an extra six feet of speaker cord so I could put them on the roof at bush parties.
Had quite the shimmy from 80 - 110 km/h, but once you hit 115 the dash quit shaking and it all smoothed out. Never had to change the oil, just had to add a liter every three fuel stops.
RIP Little Blue
