To give yourself a clearer view of choices, look up some pictures of Mk1 Focus's on this forum. I believe there's a specific thread on here with just Focus's.
well most people would see you cant go worse when you start with a 1.4 focus but give it to a chav and it'll still be worse

...even with a cossy conversion which is soo fucking uba cool in my book 8)
i'm not saying dont do mods and if its a top notch shell that'll be good for a future engine conversion then you can do everything else in the mean time and then drop a bigger lump in!
its just the costs involved with modding at 17 with no experiance and the fact theres a high risk of an accident (might not be but just statistically so i'm not commenting on your driving in particular....am i?

) you dont want to do mods and be dead proud of it and spent a fortune insuring it to then have it all taken away.
