Default my new toy focus cosworth rwd

hi guys as some of you know i have an escort cosworth and a focus rs mk1 and i love both of them
so i tried to build a focos but ran out of interest and time so i sold the project
well ive bought another 1 thats very nearly finished
its built by andrew gallager so i know its right and is running about 450 bhp through the rear wheels it still needs some cosmetics but its useable it will be at pod so you can see it then in real life but heres some pics
