Well ive never done a thread like this and i though i might aswell do one for my focus ive bought not long ago so i can use as a second car, basically i work for a crash repair centre and im an estimator there and this focus actually come in for an accident claim and i estimated it and followed it to copart which i then won it on an online auction
its a 1 owner car and the owner is now 62 years of age has full service hystory and only a mere 45 k for a T reg car ![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
so i had to have it.
It needs a new qtr panel and a repair to the inner arch + inner sill , also a repair to the front door and theres a few other knocks i will be doing just to tidy it up , the front bumper + rear bumper ill add some pics of the progress and ill start off with these as i can only work on the car on saturdays so today was the first day![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)

That looks like a lovely car to repair. I did this myself a while back with an alfa 156 i got a mate to buy from Hales for me. I wanted a car to repair to use as an everyday car ,dont ask me why I went for an Alfa,i just fancied it
Its an 02 plate 2.0 twin spark Cat D which cost me Ł700 to buy and repair and then another Ł600 to fix all the stupid electrical problems![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
