Default 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

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.
