NIGHT RIDER last photoshoot pg4

this is my new 2dr bought it last night, owner was wiggy pleasure to do buisness with him.

really didn't like the colour scheme so made it how i wanted it.

it originally had red bumpers red fuel tank, red leafs but quickly got rid of that. also sprayed my brake lights and front indicators so it basically black on black n black on black.
also lowered it.

except, maybe lower the front a bit more....
2007/03/20 20:44:37
lucas
yeah it is gettin lowered tomorrow. ive only had the car for less than 24 hours so gotta spend a little more time on it.im puttin the interior from my rallypack in it aswell tomorrow. but it came up better than wat it did look like.

not bad for some spray paint and a 5 inch drop at the back
2007/03/20 20:52:37

cant get it in a pick next to my yellow car cause there is nothin in or on the yellow car it is ready for an SR20det conversion. just need funds.

Rhys
i tossed around in my head tryin to think wether that much black would look alright and lucky i believe it payed off.

damn police first time drivin it and i spotted two of em.

alll this needs now to complete the theme is a sr20 blacktop...

lucas
there is alotof black on my car (obviously) so i was thinking to match my white walls should i run a really thin sticker down the middle of the car following the groove that is already there. it would be a a sticker like this=======================just with out the spaces but 2 lines.

tell me wat you think. i do like it all black though
2007/03/22 00:11:52
longboy74
Lucas
I reckon it looks just right as it is. The thin line of the whitewalls looks great. If u add too many lines, it will look to scattered.
Josh

sundowner
leave it lucas it looks great
2007/03/22 08:59:18
lucas
yeah just a little idea i was tossing up. wasn't sure if it would break it up for the better or worse. but the whitwalls break it up nicley though
2007/03/22 12:33:59

Paint the calipers and hubs white, it would look alittle less[88] Pt Adelaideish then[88][;^)]

They look good lucas. Do you have plans for the other wheels? the ones on the front in those pics? I really like em.
2007/03/25 19:16:31
Inferno115
that looks great, the all black theme looked good but now that bit of silver on rims has just split it up a bit, big well done on the car , your car and pretty much most of the other Escorts on here have convinced me to start saving up for a mk 2
2007/03/25 19:21:50
lucas
van man we might be able to talk a little buisness. but the rims do look alot better in the photos than they are

2007/03/25 22:45:01
Shea
looks cool mate. but.... do you have ANY travel in the rear suspension or is it bump stop all the way? cant wait to see the front hanging low as hell.

oh by the way does your car talk to you and help you arrest bad guys? because if its not i dont think your getting the most out of your nightrider experience [88]
Shea
2007/03/26 10:37:55
lucas
its sits on the bump stops all the time. if i took them out then it would be lower.but im gonna lift it up in the next few dys
i cant get jacks under it. i need someone to lift the wheel arch to fit the jack under it to jack it up.[:x)] so bit silly
2007/03/26 12:16:08
RS2000mk2
lucas dragged the ass of the night rider around just before so i could have a peep at it and he could look at the dusty white RS that is slowly accumilating spider webs

Chippa666
Can't you cahnge the ride height, chuck on some normal taillights and some different rims till it's all sorted then set it back up the way was? [}:)]It just looks too good to change it and not be seen again.Makes me want to get a MK2 and do the same thing, and I don't like MK2's that much.
2007/07/24 21:59:03
lucas
il tell ya wat chippa if it was that easy i would along the things that i have to change are the motor to much work done and was told it would not pass by 2 mechanics.(to much carbon) put a brake booster on take the bias adjuster off and the master cylinders off this is just a tiny amount of stuff that i would have to do and i dont have space or time. aswell as i need alot of the parts off this car to go on my sr20 project when it goes underway.

and also tint in the photos the black body makes it look like there is none but it is very dark.
2007/07/25 00:36:51
2lt_Scort
Lucas,
You thought of selling as a complete car on defect? Someone will buy it, just swap the parts you need and put it up forsale as once you've taken the goodies out of it, it's hard to recoup cash on the usual parts.

Rhys
2007/07/25 09:12:29
lucas
yeah thought of that and im not sure still considering. and not sure how much you can sell a defect car for.

hey lucas,

a guy replied on my ford forums for sale ad (from ages ago) for this car asking if it was still for sale. He wants to make a tarmac rally car out of it so the defect might not be a problem if you wanted to sell it as a whole. let me know if you want his number
