Right here goes,

This is what im aiming for without the roof rails and more of the focus rs colour


I will be using as many genuine rs parts as possible, parts turning up everyday, the post man hates me all ready lol
I'm hoping for around 300bhp

This is the base car , a trusty 178,000 mile diesel estate



I started to remove the rear glass



this was scrapped in 2009. and please go to page 2 for new donor

tbh im hoping for the start of the next show season /early summer, but we will see, im actually a little further ahead with it now,

rear is all stripped out , the the rear door frames have been modified to suit, this weekend. im making the template for the van panels.

then the weekend after the welder comes out!

mark_h

i have sh*t loads of parts here all ready , so hopefully, not too long .

ive also seen a lovely rear bumper , as i dont think the rs focus one will look right ,

i think if u dont make it a 3dr it will just look like an estate with a blank panel where the window should be! go on go the whole hog and make it a 3dr u know it will look the nuts

iTrader: (3)

gotta agree with you m8..

be a bit more work but would look sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better....

Awesome! Love it

mark_h

it will be a 3dr . the rear doors are going .
all the rear doors are going to be welded up and flushed in so wont look like they where there.



i thought you ment use the doors of a two door focus , then id need to move the b pillar back and it makes a whole lot more work ?
how much do you reckon it would cost to have the be pillar moved back?

mark_h

kinda like this is what im thinking with the doors

neil andeRSon

iTrader: (3)

look's like a hearse with the length of the window bit.

jaimesdna

iTrader: (3)

imo, it would look so much better with the b pillars moved back & the 3 door focus doors. it is a bit of work but if you was to use the sills, b pillars & part of the 1/4's off a 3 door then it shouldnt be much more work than welding the rear doors up. imo welding the rear doors up never really looks good

mark_h

it does look a lot longer than it is in that picture.

MENIS

awesome project cant wait to see progress will be very unique when done

miched

it does a bit i have to agree,

why not convert it to a truck, would look awesome, not been done i dont think,

mark_h

anyone got any ideas what it would cost to move the b pillar back , labour only obviously

NATH-RSZT

The 1st blue rs rep does that have the 3 door, doors or is it just the picture cos if you scroll up and down from the blue one to your one the more you look the more it looks like the standard 5 door front doors. I think its just the angle of the other van further up making it look longer.

Whatever you decide it will be good.

mark_h

much better,

engine and the rest of the interior out this weekend
