Hello guys & girls, I've been on here a while now so I'd thought I'd share with you my trials and tribulations that I've had with my Focus


Here she is in pretty much std form apart from wheels and Angel Eye Headlights





As I like my music I slowly began to build a boot install





Boot install still in progress





I now wanted better quality sounds upfront so here's my mate installing new speakers (Fusion Powerplant incase ya wondering lol)





Again different speakers but they'll be for something else which is later on





Now due to poss one to many arguments with kerbs etc, I hit the plunge and bought new wheels





And here they are on the car





I then installed ST170 Fog lights/a strut brace and some daytime running lights





With too many Focus's goin about that were fairly std I bit the bullit and decided to make mine one of a kind, here's it as it stands the day I dropped it off at the bodyshop





While the car was in the bodyshop I decided to start playing with the interior, I mocked up sum custom speaker mounts for all 4 doors





And so the strip down of the car began

















Sideskirts mock up





I've never liked the mouldings that are going down the side of the car so I got them removed to create a smoother look down the sides











Mmm...thats better





Now no show car is complete with some shiny bits Haha











Again I've neva liked the mouldings on the car so sod it...off they come aswell lol





You can see the front skirt mock up aswell





Same with the back (no mouldings)





Rear bumper finally all ready for paint





Front bumper ready for paint





And the painting/priming process begins, I'll let the pics talk for themselves

















A sneaky peak at the colour ;P





Paint process still continuing
































Bumper in primer





Little bits just left to be paint now

















Car slowly coming back together




















Completed car





Now that I had the car back I could continue with my plan for the boot install








Oh and me tinted windows





With a car show round the corner I couldn't leave the boot install as it was so in its carpeted stage





Boot install finished, well for now neway





Oh and speakers above your head





Unfortunatley due the crap road conditions around my way, my alloy wheel actually cracked and because they don't make the wheel nemore, make that the 3rd set of wheels on the car since I started tinkering





On the car





Here's how the car stands today after 2 trips back to the bodyshop due
the filler or fibreglass dropping where I removed the mouldings on the side n now due its 3rd trip back as its happened again but only on the nearside which is confusing





Underbonnet





I then bought this, already in its striped stage, can ya guess what it is yet? Lol





With uprated cams, polished/ported head, poss either throttle bodies or did some1 say turbo, I could poss be seeing the better part of 230bhp easily


So there you go passionford peeps, my car, all comments, ideas are welcome
