Default Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec Family hatchback.

Hello, first off am new here so go easy on me

My names Nathaniel and i have had my focus for around 6 months now, have a gf, and a son who is now 3. Getting married soon as well eek am hoping to get the car clean and running right (with a few mods ) for the wedding, Anyway time for some pictures.

Here is when i first brought her Frosty.











The pictures above were when i first got her after giving her a clean, she is pretty clean apart from both rear doors needing replacing (rusted along the bottom) stone chipped front bumper and bonnet (ford thin paint? ) and also a scruff when someone hit it before i brought it. (goes over one of the rear doors and arch. And finally a skirt plastic cover (and thats only the looks lol.)

Later i cleaned the alloys as they have never been cleaned properly. They were dirty boy!
before


After


Then some pictures of it all cleaned.







The rear drums where very rusty so a quick derust season and a lick of paint gave them the fresh look

Rusty looking drums.


Went over them with a frap disc on a grinder, made them look like these.


And them some paint on them


Next up with a quick service



The starting of a debadge season



thats better



Her big ass lol...


Cheeky ebay sticker


cheap argos air filter sounded good ruined my maf replaced with a better enclosed carbon look induction kit with a cold air feed (need to take picture lol)




Smoked front indicators and sides (cant see sides but their there.)


And thats it for now with pictures

Recently i have changed the drivers door central locking motor which now locks and unlocks with all the others via the keyfob

Still got maf sensor to come, speed sensor to fit and a new steering wheel to fit. Then its mot time and tax next month. forgot to say i have put in some h.i.d bulbs 6000k i think got the front fogs to do as well so ill take a picture when i do it and show ya all. Am now ordering some window tints pre cut from ebay doing a gamble of £25 to see if i can fit them with a youtube guide its around £150 around here to get them tinted lol.

A future spec list.

-Refurb alloys in gloss white.
-Tint windows dark smoke (back and rear sides as front is now illegal any tint)
-Exhaust system
-10 inch sub, mono block amp and better door speakers
-st170 headlights and smoked led rears
-heated leather seats
-Get the outside looking good
-bonnet bra mayb?
-Spoiler, dewiper the rear
-Custom Plates
-Coilovers
-Use engine till it goes pop then replace with a 2.0 (i know its gonna be difficult lol)
-I'll add more as i think of them lol

If your still reading and read the whole thing thanks for taking the time to do so Cya around its now 1.14am lol took a while to wright all this, Night.
