Hey everyone; I hadn't really introduced myself or my meager build-threads... just lurking and drooling over all the stuff I can't get. Here's some of my endeavors: an '05 Lexus IS300 and my '03 Focus ZX3. It always starts fairly normal, but it's just a good place to start. You know what I mean?!






This is, unfortunately, the earliest picture of my Focus before I starting changing everything. See it tucked in waaaaaaay in the back there?!?



It quickly lost the ugly black body cladding & mirrors in favor of the SVT pieces (which I had an employee discount on at that time). The headlights I got from a customer that came back to see me after his focus got smashed-up to give me first crack at the parts.

I ran this thing at auto cross events up and down the Mid-Atlantic until the warranty expired and parts started breaking. I bought it to beat on it, and this project has carried me through so many years and jobs before I actually become a technician. Because nobody's workin' on my car but me from now on.
Here's some of the pics from along the way... and some other random projects too.
