Default My new mk1 Focus RS.

Just thought Id show you all my new purchase...

I bought it a few weeks ago from Andy (AJC) and im sure a few of you will recognise the plate!

Its my first proper ford (I owned a sierra for a few months whilst I abused it as a donor car!) and my first proper performance car needless to say its not disapointed bar a few little issues that have been fixed.




Youll have to excuse the filthy bodywork- id just got in from a quick blast around the lanes.
And one more picture of both my pride and joy's;


Thanks for looking- any questions just ask!
Mark.

Excellent mark. Hope the car is doing you well.

When you say had a couple of issues, what's happened? Does look good in those pictures.

Cheers Andy.

Noticed the brake fluid resevoir was low, looked into it and the clutch master cylinder seal was leaking so a new m/c was fitted and also the rear wiper motor needed replacing... Nothing big- just little niggling things!

P.s- You available sometime over Christmas so I can pick these mats up?

Mark.

The perfect stance for a Focus.

Is the exhaust not melting the bumper?

I loved the Car when Andy had it and still love it, A great bit of history that car has! I hope you keep the updates coming

Andy is a top bloke and I am sure you have bought a cracking example!

You soon learn where all the local potholes are with these don't you. I knew the roads round my way were shit but since getting mine i've noticed just how many holes are around that my Mondeo used to just soak up.

Looks like the exhaust tip is touching the bumper? think one or more of your exhaust hanger may be broken i had the same problem upgraded to power-flex hangers

Good to see its gone to a good home
