copied and pasted from another site im on

well bought this focus about a year ago as a cheap write off, all it needed was a rear bumper it hasnt touched the boot floor or rear panels just the bumper.
I liked it so here it it so far (ill get some pics of how i picked it up looking like later)

i purchased and had painted a collection rear bumper looks much better than the standard looking thing i reckon (also need collection front and skirts)




clean enough i reckon

also aquired some of these so was rude not too


then came coilovers, i did have 17" mp3 alloys on this but they have gone to have the tyres removed to put on my new alloys which may cause problems
but will hopefully post more about those in a couple of days


also has an alpine iva d310 installed, a pioneer sub in boot, trip computer already in, blue led boot light and both footwells as well as hid's so far so good i reckon
im pretty pleased with it but will be putting a bigger engine in in the future when i can figure out how difficult it will be to swap as the 1.6 i dont think is really man enough

also i acquired a rear disc complete axle and it was a very easy job to change the entire thing over took about an hour
it did also have black tinted rear lights but me being a man broke one by leaning on it by accident so back to standard for now, i hope you like so far as i really do

oh and rear wiper arm is from a rover 75 estate, slight mod and it fits and looks better than standard

well new rimmage was dropped off at my work today all fitted out and ready to roll, so i thought id fit what a certain tyre company (tanvic tyres) said wouldnt fit because they are too wide.
what the hell do a tyre company know anyway ??

8.5x17 they dont look that wide


rear camber adjusters and i reckon i could lose another inch or so on height


you cant really see it but they are 215 40 17 with a little stretch


im very happy with how they fit and really like how they look very very happy bunny !!

searched where i work today and found some dial needles that fit quite nicely, a little shorter than the ford ones and need to figure out how to get them a little brighter, but i like the look of em


well just another small update as my bumper has arrived and been painted also my front grill surround has been colour coded not that you can tell from these pics, but the cars starting to look something like i want, so happy days

before


after


and after realising that new bumpers look crap with dirty car


just side skirts, camber arms, slammage and 170 headlights to get then i may consider a full respray not sure yet but i think its looking good so far



yay some 170 headlights, should darken the front up a little

well pics suck cos i couldnt take a good photo if i got a professional to do it, but new blue shiny i ordered 40 to start with which i received 25 blue and 15 turquoise for some reason, once i start cleaning the engine bay they should stand out a bit more,i also need to order some m8 ones for slam panel also m6x1 nuts for the black plastic slam panel bit



closer



and also notice anything ?? yes thats right my mrs hasnt made me a cuppa !! not only kidding i received different colours for some reason



well once again adding a little to this, a couple of bits i should have added a couple of weeks ago but never got round to also something new
also once again crap pics but you can make them out im sure

dark rear upper lights, look loads better than standard ones i reckon




dark lowers, were supposed to be tinted but still look pretty good



dark repeaters and home made bonnet raisers (still need polishing, and 13mm) also if you squint and look really hard you can see me holding a bag with my chip dinner in nomnomnom



then this arrived, yes its a box



so i opened it and was confronted with yet another box (starting to feel a little like russian dolls now)



so many boxes when will it end, oh yeah now i know what i got


well now got my rear camber adjusters, also got 2 of my 205/40/17 so need two more then fit everything and lower with a bit of stance happy days

another small update before the bigger one comes

had these done for a while now but collection skirts and rear tints, just need to get a medium tint on the front now



will get better pic later when i get a few minutes also in a need for a clean i reckon as its starting to look a little homeless

oooh i wonder what this could be hmmmmmmm

well with mucho gracias to Jordan Boyle for use of workshop and huge help here is my next upgrade

with new cambelt kit and new sump, just short of exhaust manifold, clutch and exhaust flexi soon be fitting time may also need to remove a lot of alloys parts for a good clean as they look cack at the minute, so ill go back down to his soon armed with wire brushes, paint and drill with wire wheels

also 3 out of the 4 snapped manifold studs are now removed





well thankyou once again to Jordan Boyle for the front hubs also the ramp time its seriously appreciated what a legend thankyou

well old vs new, that isnt rust on the new disc its some greasy crap that rubbed off



and new behind wheel, they really dont look very big in the pictures but they really do look huge in person and nearly no clearance behind the wheel



hopefully get the rears fitted next saturday and then start putting the engine together ready for fitting (hopefully within next month) cant think what else i need but i shall be ready for a little more power

well started conversion but have come up with a bit of a head scratcher, having problems deciding how to get round the o/s driveshaft carrier (use rs one, use standard 2.0 one if so how to get round oil feed )





and thats where im upto at the minute
