tezmanian devil Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 im not sure if im honest, once it's been resprayed it might all tie in abit better, but if not, back to standard's it is... or maybe some of those half tinted nomad rear light's if you no the one's i mean?

fekyo Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 always get excited when i see this come back up to the top.....basically the only reason i come on this site anymore is to look at your car. cant wait to see it finished. xaust mani looks ruuuuude. i think the half-tinted clears are sweet, are you smoothing the boot on this one (crosses fingers) ???

KNITERIDER Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 why not smoke them like mine?(lights) http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/22122.jpg failing that standard all the way. and a question. with regards tot the exhaust: i was always lead to believe the less bends the better, will it not compromise (only a tiny bit) power with the fancy bends in the manifold as opposed to going straight down? i dont know alot about displacement so just wondering looks immense tho keep it up!

tezmanian devil Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 not to sure about smoking the light's tbh, i think i'll just be goin with standard one's if the current one's dont work once it's had it's respray, back end will be to dark with smoked one i think?!? with regard's to the exhaust, i cant answer that if im honest, i have no idea if it'll effect power? im just mainly using it because it look's wicked lol ,despite how many problem's it's causing, now i'v seen it bolted up in the engine bay i couldn't go for anything less now if you no what i mean...? got a few more pic's today with my NEW camera, so hopfully these will be better... http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0028.jpghttp://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0031.jpghttp://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0030.jpghttp://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0033.jpghttp://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0034.jpg also got this today...http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0035.jpg found it on the back of my old dead cooker, plan's (well maybe) to chop out the vent bits and weld them on the buldge's on my bonnet, or maybe put them in the middle somewhere? havnt decided what im goin to do with them yet, or if im even goin to use them... opinion's??

Matt86 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I agree, rear lights look cheap, rest of the car is looking awesome so far!!!! Cant wait to see the finished product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezmanian devil Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 cheers guy's, yeh im thinking nomad one's, was looking at a few cossie's with them on and i think they'd be best suited imo, these half tinted one dont quite pull it off on this car unfortunetly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKE W Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I opened it on page 4 or something and thoughit was the TOFmobile..until i saw the fact its a mk5. Dubs old car eh,with the same wheels as the TOF...Gonna be mint The 'TOF' had the old style Comps on it, does look very similar from the side though lol... Only just seen this thread, car looks quality mate, really looking forward to seeing it progress. I would deffo put the standard rear lights back on though. You may of mentioned it already and i have missed it, but what are your plans for the front end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezmanian devil Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 yeh rear light's will either be standard or the smoked half tinted nomad one's (if i can find some...?) the front will basically look like my old silver escort...http://1.2.3.12/bmi/i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/DSCF3959.jpg but it'll have a different cooler behind the bumper, and the bonnet might louver's pressed in, but i havn't decided on that yet? what's "TOF" aswel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
