Some of you may know the car, its a mk1 focus which was converted and built by Steve Scott at a1 rallysport a few years back now to run rwd and yb power.

It changed hands a few times, and was bought as a rolling shell by a friend of mine, who then found a low miler engine and fitted it, he fortunately (for me) ran out of motivation/time/money to finish it, which is where I came in

I took ownership on Saturday just gone, bought as a non runner as it had no spark, I got it straight in my unit and got to work, with help from a few friends that know there way around a yb, namely Peter Neville! By Monday, we had her running like a dream.

There's a list as long as my leg of bits which need sorting and I will get through them in good time, as said, will basically be stripped in bits and started from scratch although it's got some goodies on it already..

Genuine rs rear quarter panels
Gaz gold coilovers
Comp mo6's
Stack dash
Sparco evo seats
Forge rs500 intercooler
Forge rad
Full black samcos
Aston Martin/brembo 356mm front brakes
300mm rear brakes
Fully rose jointed
Full weld in cage with diff pick ups etc.
Fuel cell
044 pump
Hydro handbrake and braided lines
Fully aeroquip end
Wrc kit (will be swapped out for rs bits)
Wilwood pedal box

Engine wise, it's stage 3 power, greens, 3 bar map sensor, rebuilt t3...for now

Some pics of the car...

















As you can see, it needs a lot of tlc, which it'll get given lots of

Will keep this updated as I go.
