The first time I met my missis, 4 years a go. I was as pissed as can be.
She was with her whole family, god knows how I got her number, but I did.
anyway I woke up in a police cell the next day.
15 miles way from were I last remember being.

that will look good mate cant wait to them ive got a escort mk3 on the way here and a bid on a 1-18 plastic escort cossie hopefully i will win it and then i can cut the body kit off and spoilers and make them fit strait onto the mk3 by doing a little bit of cutting, im doing this because its more easier working on plasstic than metal for this 1. hopefully it will look like the 1 on the bottom of page 20 on this thread, have a look its well nice mate

As you all my know, last year I made a replica of my Focus ST in Sea Grey using a Powco model.

I wasnt that happy with the finish in a few places so this weekend I re-painted it. Also added some more details.

Interior left as standard apart from a little silver on the gear knob.

Name:  after5.jpg
Views: 78
Size:  57.3 KB

This time ive added silver detailing to the headlights, fog lights, mirrors, wing badges & boot badge. Its too small to add a red ST to the wing and boot so I didnt. Also painted the front grills black (satin finish) & clear red for the rear fog lights. Im still doing the number plates for it aswell.

Heres my car for reference
