Hi all

Ok i brouht this off dingla rs about 2 weeks ago


and i've striped my 2wd saph cosworth to build the focus
this was my sapp



First i'm going to test fit the engine,gear box,diff,prop,intercooler and rad to make sure it all fit ok before it go for paint.

Larst weekend i swaped all the running gear over and today i fitted the engine,rad and intercooler

some pics not the best will get some better ones in the week


had my old wheels on but need spacers so got some team dynamics

test fit the roll cage and seats


cheers

 

looks quality mate

 

this looks like its gonna be a weapon! what sort of power you going for?

even your old saph is stunning mate! if i had the funds right now i would have that,strip mine and put my running gear in it!

 

Cheers

the engine is about 380bhp but i'm going for a t38 and 4x4 inlet manifold before it go back on the road would like about 420bhp ish

 

Nice, look forward to your updates

 

I would rather have had the saph it looked stunning

 

That saph looked amazing mate, why did you decide to pull it apart rather than build the Focos in the background??


Cheers,
Grant

 

The saph did look stunning but theres nothing like a rwd focos the wheels look a nice fit what offset are they? ill look forward to updates

Cheers,Rick

Cheers for all the comments

i striped the saph as wanted a change as had it for 8 year and all ways liked the focus rs

The wheel on the sapp aer 8x18 et33 and are for sale for Ł800

 

A few pics with the new wheels got a bonnet and headlights now


thinking of doing the focus like this

wot you all think?

 

Me too.

 

I liked the saph had it 8 years but had run out of things to do to it with out going the carbon route

time to move on

 

looking good that mate going to be abit of a weapon when its finished

 

done the right thing mate dont listen to haters graphics look smart, did you get box and prop in??

 

I think it will look awesome mate in them colours! Do it!

 

think you should run it like that for a month

 

Oh yer, that'll look the bollox

 

Ok not much off a update

today i've been to the scrap yard and got a full loom to sort out wot i need from it. 3 hour to get it all out of the car

Going tomorrow to get some Focus RS door moulds and all the rubber seals for the doors and boot

Got gear box in just need to mod the cradle to fit the floor then strip it down and get it ready for paint

 

Good to see this car being put togever at last i will keep a eye on it now all the best and i do like the stripes that you might go for

Will look the dog's with those graphics on
Good luck with the build

 

excellent car mate, keep up the good work

Hi all

Ok i've to move the window wipe motor as it was hitting the breather pipe and number 4 spark plug lead so moved it to the passage side


Got the rest of the car in primer and the engine bay and under side.
Been out in the gauge today and painted the inside of the car flint grey but need some more paint
i will get some pics up in the week

cheers

 

have you test fitted the wiper's now with the scuttle panel on now you've moved the motor or are you gonna make the arms longer?

 

Does the wiper motor clear the pollen filter ???

 

coulda just spaced the bed engine bed down mate

 

not going to have a pollen filter as its only going to be a track car
and the scuttle fits fine as i'm going to make the arms longer.
dingla rs i did look into spaceing the engine down but didnt want the engine be to close to the floor

cheers

 

you have to love these cars as iv read your post about the spark plug lead hitting the wiper motor so i went out and put a lead in my motor and im happy to say im ok .i was going to run a cam triger like my 3dr but looking at it i dont think it will let me

 

Could you blank the rear breather off and put one at the front of the rocker cover ?

 

Hi COLEYST200 you want to check when the wiper arm on the back of the motor go round it don't hit the lead

cheers

 

So glad this will live on, and quickly by the looks of things!
