this is our smashed up focus RS!












its done 21k, and is std apart from a gen2 K&N. and its gonna stay that way too! its being jigged as we speak as the pass leg is back 10mm.
after a month of looking i located a complete front end and airbags, i have had to have the alloys straightened as they was fooked, but at the mo it dont owe us a lot! lol

comments welcome!

 

did take a hit huh


i drove a focRS round a rally course and put it in a field too, soo much fun to drive



looks good

 

good show mate

 

Holy shit man, fair play mate i wouldn`t even no where t start with something like that.

IL be keeping a eye on this post

 

good luck with it lennie. Is that blood i see on the airbag? ewww lol. Dont think i have any wheels expensive enough to swap for this one though lol

 

hope t all goes well with the fixing of it.

 

fanks all. its being jigged monday and panel'd up too, so hopefully week after next i will be fitting up!

 

Nice one leonard

 

lol cheers peeps! shame we gotta get rid. i much prefer a FRS to new worktops and cupboards!

 

no its not blood its the red on the airbags
nice little wish i had seen that

 

Will be interesting to see how much this would fetch once its all sorted? How much did you get it for if you don't mind me asking.

Cheers

 

it will owe me 11.5 k done. Bits are hard to come by second hand! Was lucky to get a complet front. But that was dear too. Hey ho . Reckon i will put it up for 12.5 k, and take a bid. This aint a for sale post by the way, and it won't be for sale on here either! Lol.

 

Bit of a Job, but will look good in the end

 

Good to see it being repaired, but its a lot of money if it owes you 11.5k finished, a quick look and you could have bought this 12k, it wouldnt be on the list and would have saved yourself a lot of hassle

Seen them cheaper than that too

 

i sold a mint 24k rs for 12750 mate. u've no chance in getting near that for a listed car . i wouldnt pay over 8-9k for one listed imo.

but gud luck with it all gud to see a car back on the road.

Crowds.

 

o well, like i say i wont sell on here! i wont lose on it! i guarntee it!

 

good luck mate, good to see them being repaired and not broken, and b4 it goes on i know some need to be broken to save others but i still think its a shame, long live the rs

 

Got to agree mate and reckon about 9k would be the value of this one seeing as its on the register, prices seem to be dropping a bit on these now and seen quite a few around the 10k mark recently, good luck all the same with the sale though and keep the pics and updates coming.

 

cheers peeps, if i cant get 10.5 for it i will break it! lolol

 

right, its back from Jigging.... and started to get it assembled, and then take it all to bits again!!








should have engine in tonight! all going well!

 

Turned out well, although your best off track prepping it now, will never get what their worth for it if you sell up

 

fuck that. I would rather burn it. Lol keeping for a bit., and looking in to having removed from the list!

 

thats come on well lennie

 

You can't unless you give it a false ID.

I'm surprised it's a cat D if it needed jigging, I thought D was reserved for light damage.

 

I think you can have it removed from the list as long as the previous owner got paid out and you also take it for a SVA test and some other kind of test.. A lad in our village got a car taken off a Q plate this way..

Good work by the way...

An easy way to get a cheap, expensive car if you are going to keep it for a while!!

 

Wrong it's impossible to have a vehicle removed from the list that
is a Cat A,B,C,D or X

However Q plates are different as they may not be a total loss
just a car with no ID

Mark

 

Good luck with the rebuild if its ok and drives good ur happy keep it if it drives bent sell it to some nigeria who offers you 20 k lol.

 

can get it off alert with a repair inspection, it'll be down as a 'damaged and approved repair' rather than a 'cat d damaged'

every little helps tho huh

 

Its not possible to have a car taken of a Q ,, so your mate must have just ringed it

As for the focus ,, I bet you wont get anywhere near 10k for it

and if you have it removed from the list it will still say condition inspected , so still on the list realy

As for breaking it

 

ok paul. we will see.

 

Can't believe I still have this! So I never got my 10k! And it only done 33k now. But it is looking tired now so I will be updating this thread very soon.

 

Full rebuild?

 

I might be interested in the new year in this if it's cheap enough,not bothered if it needs tidying.

 

Vaughan, its not for sale mate.

Smiler- yep! Full strip down repaint, powdercoat, plus fit all the goodies I have accumulated!

 

righttttttttt

 

Ok mate,but if you change your mind you know where I am.

 

righttttttt... yeah you OBVIOUSLY read the year the thread was started...

Vaughan.. it will never be for sale now mate. cheers.

 

Funny thing is as you've kept it so long the mileage is now ridiculously low so I suppose you won't get another like that now.
Keep it another 10 years it's gonna be worth loads!!!

 

To be fair , you have had it a long time now and its value now will probs still make it a cheap car to still own

They sell now for 5k on the list so i bet you have done ok realy

 

I have a cat d on 47k, I'd love 6500 for it! 10k is crazy money
