mk4 Brazilian Escort Ignition Button
Hello,
i'm new here, have been looking all over the projects and decided to make my own.
This is actually my Dad's car, which I drive every day.
It's a MK4 Hobby 1.6 Alcool
---------------------
When I started to drive this car it was like this:
A couple days after i took this pic unfortunantly i crashed the front, Headlights were gone, radiator, hood and other things..
went to fix all of it
The hood was fixed and painted (not changed) headlights changed, the mile lights were broken and stayed, radiator changed, we also took the spoiler out because it was all broken
Today
Picture from 11/07/2009 (escort Meeting)
Exhaust Changing
First upgrade made on my commando, not my father's
The exhaust before that didn't have the 2nd muffler, it was a straight tube, so the noise was kinda loud and "thin"
Sport muffler (idk the model) and i really liked the results
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35qXEzbihuI
LEDs
Another quick UP
I'm working on my front panel leds, meanwhile i put 2 leds on driver's feet and 2 on passenger's feet
The button already had a led inside which wasnt working, i had to make a whole over it
New button led in position
Button in place (i couldn't make a "transparent" plastic to cover the whole)
Positives
Button ON
Driver's side
Passenger's side
I adapted the mile headlights button to it, since i don't have the mile headlights anymore
I liked it but imo its not as bright as I want (it's not as dark as the pic either, camera problems) i might double the led numbers.
That's it for now.
Hugs from Brazil,
Pedro.

SOUND SYSTEM
Ah. I was missing that
New aquisition (=
Extending the cable hole
Old box (No Botton)
Subs positioned
Bolting the module on the box
Box in position
Details of config and instalation
The sound is simply perfect! I didn't know this sub was that good with the right boxes
PS.: The box volume is 80Liters, 40 Liters for each sub
I made a video trying to show how the car was shaking, but the camera has a function that excludes the shaking witch i don't know how to disable. hehe

Well mates,
for a long time i've been hearing a buggy noise coming from under the car, i looked down there today and saw that the exhaust was breaking in the middle, went to a mechanic and changed the middle exhaust.

Starting to create a hole on the 2nd muffler
1st muffler changed last time
New Middle exhaust
On it's place, perfect

"New" sound system
Some pics
After a while trying to figure out which wires would be the speaker ones, little Gel battery to test
New "Bagagito" or "Tampăo" that's how we call it, i have no idea how it's named on english, already with 2 Super tweeters
Me trying to cut something that i do'nt remember right now
Subs on it's place and the 6" waiting
Finishing the weld of the RCA cables for the 6x9
A little bit of disorganization, but it's perfect as it is
Say "Bleeeh"
Isolating with silicone (I was out of tape)
Almost done
In this picture all that was remaining to do was screw a screen on the 6x9 hole, then we stopped to take pictures
Cheers from Brazil.

very nice to see different variations what are these different headlamps you talk about??
and also you have no side repeators and no stickers to identify variations of escort by the seams of it?
keep up the good work!

Thank you,
I think none of the escorts came with side repeaters, the stickers I removed them because i sincerily dislike
I didn't understand the question about the headlamps, what did you mean?
