Default icepipe motorsport zetec turbo race focus

Thought I would share with you what we are up to at the mo. Brought this car as a beaten up grey shell. But had three doors so we dragged it home. This is where we are up to at the mo after 6 months trying to get it ready for next years track season.

Cheers

Are they Subaru callipers? Build looks nice and clean, wish my Escort was white, sets a lovely contrast with nice new parts etc.

Keep up the good work.
