focus build
Right guys and girls i know the cars been done nearly a year but more in under way while its off the road and ive been meaning to put a build thread up for ages so here goes loads of photies.
this is the earliest photo ive got of my car
after a few mods i went on the hunt for a new engine in 2007
where i found a written offFRS and i met the big andy
thanks to my dad driving as i couldnt at the time due to health we bought the loom engine gearbox suspension all the goodies. boxed it all up and it sat in the garage for a wee while. in th emeantime i fancied some more mods so i fitted lambo doors.
and ford fair 07 where my dad drove again as i couldnt
the day befor eit went in had a good clean
the graphic was painted on and the doors fitted. while i wasnt driving some serious shopping for mods was done which in jan 08 resulted in everything going back to big andy to fit so heres my goodies and engine ready for andy also not photod was a dreamscience and radiator and chargecooler:
so we shipped it all off with the loom etc to the big man who stripped it and did all this:
now the RS running gear was int he car needed to be made much wider so it was off to the fabricator for some tlc and metal work
the original bumper wouldnt take it so an RS one was on order to be made to fit the original rear was kept
sills all made the bodyshop got on the case making good of the panels that had been fabricated;
we realised the wheels wer ewayyyyyyy to small and inset so we sorted these
a new offset was calculated to get the arches filled the day before pick up
the week after was FITP so much cleaning and fettling was needed to get it mint resulting in this
the transformation was done. at FITP jamie from fats ford spotted it and a feature shoot was sorted and done
after the shoot a live map was needed to get the best of the car. the turbo had to be rebuilt to a race spec by turbo technice resulting in this
after it was all fixed we rocked on until ford fair where it killed th elcutch and again big andy save dthe day and a new upgraded replacement was fitted sorry no photos guys.
on the cards was some drag fun and track fun
tucked away for winter i thought some tlc was in order
couple of coats of diamondbrite job done
the car hasnt missed a beat since. now its running right i had some money so i then bought this to tip it to hopefully 300 bhp
also having an oil and filter change done sort all the fluids int he car after a years hard 2000 miles
battery was flat so sorted it and before andy took it apart i did some sound clips as it is now
its currently having an air to air intercooler system fitted and k ans n gen 2 and live mapping again. hope you all like it.
the big thanks for the whole thing are my dad who when i couldnt drive helped me the whole time and helped fund it when i ran out at times. also a huuuuuuuuge thanks to andy hes sorted so many things and has been brilliant. i owe him alot for what hes done. so hope you enjoy folks. when its all fitted saturday next step will be a remap in feb by ric wood again.
cheers

Said it plenty of times before, a very tidy motor Alex, nicely modified and I'm glad to see other do the same as I once did. But those chav hinges have got to go. I know your being unique, but there's unique and then there's missing the point completely! 
Keep up the good work

Of course I would, would respect it even more, especially because its black! 
Don't worry mate, people aren't that ignorant to realise the arches are much wider than those on an RS
