QCADTA Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 looks like a good find. i wouldnt touch the paint, but what are your plans for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 shit man, that is really choice! Nice work on the changes too. Nice and tasteful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDA780 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hahaha yea that is true. The paint is all original including the hand brushed touch ups. I have to find more suitable tires as the rubbing is quite excessive. I here 185 Yokohamas look good (same as what Retep has) There is a serious piece of rust in the drivers floor at the bottom of the A pillar adn the front panel. But it requires taking the guards doors and front panel off . Other than that the plan is, in order: Lower it/Handling , Fix rust, 1600cc Crossflow.

BDA780 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Thanks guys for the compliments. Also does anyone know of/have a set of hubcaps like the original escort ones which are about 10mm wider in diameter? I heard of Morris Marina hubcaps fitting, but cant ind any pics of what they look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petemk1 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Car looks sweet man. I wouldn't touch the paint. roof rack,wheels colour looks mint. 185/60 should sort the tyre rubbing or go to a 175/50 and lower it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDA780 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Thanks guys. Would 185's have stretched sidewalls? Ideally 195's would suit but i've been told that they aren't made anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCADTA Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 185s on 13 x 6 will be fine. you wont have much stretch at all if any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rot808 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 shit yes looks quite delightful in one of my favourite 70's colours, as above 175/50s and mo' slam would rule sooooo much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LingLing Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I didn't really understand why you bought the mono stereo at the first place? you after the original looks? anyways. I think you could get one of these decorder to digitally simulate the mono to 5.1 sound. not sure how does it work in a car, but definitly works in home systems.

BDA780 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Yea true. I want everything old school; clothes, lifestyle, car etc. New head units look bad imo. Hope I can do that. Its a cool tape player tho and its a Phillips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
