thanks lads, keeping it looking as standard as possible, going for oem+ looks
full st170 conversion will be for sale, just shy of 80k miles with full service, includes everything i remove!!!
ie. complete engine, box, shafts, selector, loom, ecu, rad, tank,...e.t.c
anyway, heres some of the repair..
needed front panel, crossmember, both wings, bonnet, one headlight, both grills, and how hard are the spotlights to get hold off!!!
got a sprayer mate to paint the new panels and i fitted them up after checking it all lined up..
used a second hand bumper, had already been painted grey before but they obv didnt remove the strips! lol
i know this is the wrong grill, thats all sorted now
and this is how she stands now
wanted to get it roadworthy before i put the engine in so i knew it drove ok e.t.c...
managed to get hold of a standard rocker cover for now, dont know if il leave it on or get the old one (thats already been painted) repainted to match the car magnum grey...
got a genuine focus rs spoiler included in the conversion, but i dont know which way im going yet so might not fit it.. if i manage to remove it from whats left of the bootlid without breaking it!!
got some rs clocks too, but these wont be staying like this want to keep the st look somehow
finally started buying some nice little uprgrades on my search for 350bhp..
it already has a remapped ecu, decat and k&n.. so i got a forge recirc and forge actuator.. should be around 285 - 300bhp.. plus a sexy custom oil line for the turbo with a servicable filter
soon have a manifold then hybrid turbo when i get round to it.. need some supsension and brake upgrades first !

cat d mate (not as bad). a few people have said they reckon its worth about 3k.
straight and tidy average mileage ones are mostly selling around 4k on autotrader
