Focus rs cosworth build 4x4 500+bhp, thinking about breaking?
Here's a few pictures of my focus i bought on ebay in january this year, it is a focus black so it came standard with black leather, my plans were to convert it to rwd and run around 330 bhp,

I made a start to it in february stripping it to the bare shell.
it sat about all of march whilst i sourced some focus rs body panels.
some pictures of the parts i sourced before starting the build.
i also made a roll over jig before starting the build.
finally made a start on it in april, the rear quarters were the first thing to be changed.
next it was the new boot floor and rear coilover turrets.
after the boot floor was finished i went on to mount the rear end.
next it was the front crossmember and strut tops to change.
