Hey, I'm new here, and I just thought I'd share my car with you guys.
I'm open to any opinions, and advice with what I should do next.
I bought it last March with 155k miles and now it's got 159k. It's a manual, and about as base as you can get. I think the only option it has on it is the power windows. Well, here's some pics for ya
The day I bought it (Mid March):
My first aesthetic mod, nightshaded taillights:
Second aesthetic mod, restored steelies. They were very rusty under the hubs, so I grinded them down and repainted them:
And my newest addition, done yesterday is my headlights:
I got this at the Spring Into Focus event with my friend, Flamebird13
My next project is to fix the few rust patches, and touch up some paint chips. I should be getting some tints soon too, but I'm not sure how dark I should go (suggestions?) I also should be getting a new radio, along with my dad's old bazooka sub.
welcome. this car does bring back memories. i like the tail lights. and i have to agree with everyone and all you need is tint, drop, and wheels. [thumb]
Ahh brings back memories of my 94 scort. I think you'll be happy with 20% tint. I had that on my black sedan Focus. Lowering kits are rather inexpensive if I remember correctly. I also did the same with my steel wheels.
I used a CherryBomb Glasspack on my scort. These were back in my highschool days so forgive the jerry-rig looking job.
As for tints, I should be getting them within a few weeks, with my graduation money. Not too sure about lowering it, cuz the car is still technically my dad's and he probably wouldn't let me. And wheels, I really want but don't have the money for not on my Burger King wages anyways.
very nice tail lights man i like how they blend. and as for wheels, you should look all over craigslist, even if it's an hour or two away. sometimes people are willing to drive a bit. plus civic wheels are super common, at least around here.
I also finally got my head unit and dash adapter installed. I got the parts from Crutchfield, and it was pretty straight forward. Here's what it looks like.
Are they right above the rear bumper right by the wheel well, and on the trunk lid? I've seen those spots on so many escorts. Mine also had a few spots from chips on the hood, and on the back corner of the front wheel well.
Yeah the tires are 70's. The ones I have on my steelies right now have more tread, and are 60's. I don't know how much it is to swap out tires, but I don't have much more money right now, so I may have to stick with the 70's on them. They came pretty dirty, so I'm going to paint them. I'm thinking either white, or black. Suggestions?
