Default SVT Focus Project

Hey everyone!

I thought I would throw a little mix in the RRP thread. I am working on a 2002 Focus SVT "ST170".

It needs much TLC as you will see in the following pictures. I have traced as far back as I can on owners. I believe that there were from 4-6 owners. I beleive that the 2nd or 3rd owner of this car put it to its limits.

I had bought the car about 8 months ago for heck of a deal. I knew that it needed much attention. But everyone knows when somthing needs attention you tend to go a little further than you intended in the first place.

Well Let the pictures begin.

This was the car way before I owned it.


The day that I picked it up. I was very happy that day


With the ZX5 MK2.5


Its stage just before it went into the garage for its TLC


In the garage. Took of the sheet metal for ease of access to the tranny and engine, and just so the sheet metal didn't get damaged anymore than it already is.





The header and cat had broke apart. So they welded them back together. Sawzall's do wonders


Previous owner got a little grinder happy.


And they also didn't line up the clutch plate very well Notice the spring wear in the center


The Flywheel Damage


Things will be better with the new. Clutchmasters Stage 3


I will be updateing and adding more as I move along with this Project.

Thanks for checking it out.
Pat
