Not quite your usual standard of resto on here but tis my first Ford in a while so thought I'd stick it up..

Bought it as a tatty uncared for car needin a fair bit of tlc.. main issue was that it had a fair bit of rust even though it was a 52 plate. I put this down to the fact it lived by the sea all its life so had seen its fair share of salt. Underneath is 100% solid and was just cosmetic so did a deal and brought it home..

When I got it back:



Gave it a good clean and got it ready to go to my work to have the back end sorted out





Left it at my work for one of the guys to do in his spare time





Got it back and put the trim and that back on.. Looks a lot better although its not the best job. Will do for now till I decide how long I'm keeping it.

Lowered it 40mm, changed belt and gave it a good checkover



Thats how it looked till I sold the ST wheels last week due to them being pretty tatty, replacements should be here tommorow. Went for a set of RS7 soft spokes, managed to get a brand new set from ford for decent money aswell..

Will update it once the wheels are on..

lookin good m8.. i've always wondered what a focus would look like with the rs7 spokes..

where about's you at??

mark_h

looks good , looking forward to seeing the pics with the 7 spokes on

Cubie

Tried to find a picture of one before I ordered them but had no joy.. They seam to suit everything else fine so fingers crossed.. It was either RS7's or cossie wheels but my other half uses the car for her work every day so didnt want any rubbing or that for her to moan about, will be bad enough when a wheel gets some kerb filing practice.. lol

I'm from Fife in Scotland..

My sisters boyfriend has a focus with the diamond cut rs 7 spokes and on coilovers, looks brilliant. Soft spokes will look really nice too.

Nice one mate the best colour for an ST in my opinion.

Cubie

Its the standard ST shocks with 40mm lowering springs. Thye were just budget ones off ebay for now. Drives pretty well on them but the back end needs to be lower, will sort that out next week..

Uploading pics of it on the soft spokes now..

Cubie

Fitted some fresh plates aswell, pretty happy with the way its looking. Shame one of the wheels turned up with a bit of damage. Hopefully get a replacement sorted out.

first focus i seen with them on looks well good

Not a fan of the new rims sorry - too soft for the 'new edge' design style....
