ok so i have had a bank in the wifes 57 reg focus and it needs a whole new front end (both wings,bonnet,bumper)

i have priced up parts for the car and the face lift parts and there about the same.

so im gonna do it but just wanted to know if anyone has done it on here?

The face lift focus has a line right through the side of the car wing,door,quarter that the prefacelift does not, but for not wanting more expense with the focus cc didn't change the panels much on that. So the front wing on the face lift focus cc doesn't have the line through it so you could use that I think have a search on google to see what I mean.

 

great bit of advice there mate.thanks for that.

was it only the the focus cc that the wings dident have lines on?

maybe a basic facelift dident?

the guys wings in the link dident.

thanks again dan

ill try and get some pics up of the car later

 

Look at the facelift st and the face lift cc, as far as I'm aware all the focuses bar the cc had the altered sides too

 

Just looked at the cc wings and the face lift wings.there us a crease line where the indercator would be but bot on the cc wings.all I would have to do is make a hole for the indercator in the wings

 

Side repeaters are in the mirrors on the facelift arent they?

 

Don't you mean mk2 to mk2.5? As we are only on the mk3 focus now.

 

theres a lad on focusstoc thats done this conversion and he used facelift wings but had to do alot of work to them as the door lines are not same it was only after geting all the car sprayed someone told him the cc wings were a straight swap

 

Daveysaff.only need to copy the hole size on the new wing

Nash.you got it but I'm sure people know what I mean

Dandyfat.ain't seen that mate so I'll have a look for the thread or if you know it can you post it please.but I managed to get hold of the guy on focus fanatics (link in my 1st post) and he's give me some advice.I asked him about the cc wings and I'm waiting to here back from him but if there a strait swap then thanks for the tip.

Looking at the swap pics on ford fanatics it's just wings,bonnet,bumper and lights.

Thanks for the posts.keep em coming

 

Damage pics

 

Second pic is of the kink in the chassis leg that needs pulling

Just glad that the rad and intercooler was not hit and are both ok

 

Who's pulling it for you andy?
Dean Morris is good @ DMARC in skewen but I'd go elsewhere for the paint as that's not his main business.
He did used to have a good boy come in to paint and he's quite quick but last I heard he was struggling to find someone and doing it himself which he's alright at but it's not his primary trade.

 

Vaughant how you doing mate?

I'm able to get a jig mate and I'm waiting for my stepdad to do it when he gets time.and he's doing it for free

At the min it's I'm my garage at my house in gorseinon. With the front end in bits.

Can't move it far as the ecu box/cover is hanging down.not good ha ha ha

As for spraying my mate is a going to do it
