Mk1 focus RS underside detailed
Hi all
Didn't think I would be doing this. But unfortunately I am listing my mk1 focus RS due to changing to brance manager I am losing my works van and after all the work I've put into this there's no way I am useing it as a daily drive.

Exterior
This is where I went abit mad I had the front bumper painted due to stone chips then when I fitted it I wanted the entire car done lol so all apart from the roof has been resprayed to a very high standard. All parts where removed so no masking lines etc so as a resolt there is not a single stone chip dent or scratch etc
Interior
Full sparco trim all seats are in very good condition with no marks holes etc rears look like they have hardly been sat in. Original RS over mats no scuffs on door panels or dash board I've fitted a black leather focus steering wheel as the originals tend to wear really bad but I've still got the original. Extras are boost gauge fitted in heater pod scangauge above the rear view mirror and sparco fitted drivers seat cover. Original 6 disc cd player
Engine bay
Very clean bay with Standard black rocker cover magnacore ht leads battery moved back to make way for front mount intercooler pipe work and huge itg air filter. Blue boost hoses mixed with alloy metal pipe work forge dump valve and actuator. new metal water hoses and they are a common problem new thermostat housing All air condition removed to help make way for front mounted intercooler.
Underside
This is where I should have stoped. I completly striped the underside cleaned stone chiped base coat then lacquer in imperial blue. All parts are either new or powder coated all new bushs braded brake hoses all abs sensors wheel bearing front and rear disc and pads all new nuts bolts and washers exhaust mounts and hours upon hours of me laid on my back do this I must be mad
List of new bits over the last year
Full repaint
Powder coated satin black wheels
2 x michelins and 2 half worn
All new bushs
Wheel bearings
Discs and pads front and back
Thermostat housing
Ap organic clutch
Maf sensor
Ball joints
Drop links
Track rod ends
And so much more I could be typing all night
I am not in no immediate rush to sell and if I can keep her I would. Due to owning a escort cosworth to 1 will have to go Any questions please feel free to ring
Please no messers as I've not got time for running around
I will only do test drives on dry days as i don't use it in the rain might sound silly but I've put a lot of hard work into her.
£11000 Ono
Will be adding pics

Forgot to mention it had all news drop links ball joints and track rod ends.
I've been in the garage tonight and now Ive set my mind on selling the focus I've really got the bug to put the escort cosworth on the road. So I've decided to lower the price to £11000
