Seen this at Thoresby Hall, really looks well mate credit to you.

djryan25

Cheers pal. We couldn't have asked for better weather that day too.

I got drawn into helping judge all the ford's for the show lol. Felt a right idiot. But I think we was fair in the judging and they gave us £40 towards the club.

We are going to try book the clumber park show. It falls on 18th June fathers day. So a funny day to get people there. But it's free so gonna try hahaha.

RSMK4TURBO

Cool, £40 is better thank nothing, must say sunday was the better day, i only went on the sunday.

Few pics of the car on show at trust ford barnsley.

Few other little projects on the go.

djryan25

Got a few projects on rbe go. But i thought id add another lol. tackled one of the lights this evening. Sand/machine polish and paint. Need to do the other to when I get a minute

djryan25

Got a few jobs finished this weekend. The bonnet is the biggy. I've gone of the carbon fiber and maintenance of it so it's gone. What a job to remove all the tiger seal. Then the bonnet lip. Same again a pain. I've always had a mark on the bonnet from where previous owner buffed to far. So I thought what the hell. I got the rattle cans out. It's turned out mint. Only problem I have is I should have took the stonechips out aswell lol. This test fitted the dash saver and got it fitting well. New steering lock on.

Nice work, looks really nice that. One thing is though, get yourself a can of compressed air for blowing off the dust. I know it's not there yet, but if your as ocd as the rest of the thread I know it will bother you lol .

djryan25

Find out for me please. I dont think 3 door focuses do?

djryan25

sorry I've not been on for a while. I was in a mates and his does. There's two wiring looms for the St. For folding mirrors etc.

djryan25

Few bits done.
Stripped down my clifford led and added a flush bezel and a red trim.
Had my logos on my dials illuminate. The oem is on the esp button.
And purchased a genuine rs bonnet and vents ready to go on the car

djryan25

Nice to see photobucket has reinstated the 3rd party picture sharing

djryan25

I've got a lot to update since having some downtime due to pic sharing. Ill try to carry on from above.
So after getting the rs bonnet I got hold of genuine rs vents. No point having one and not the other.

djryan25

Had the rs bonnet sprayed and glossed both sides. I've also cut a hole for my hidden wires and hoses too. Also cut the tabs off the underside which held the hoses on to give it a cleaner look.





next on list is full front end strip down and rebuild. Almost full Matt black engine bay.

Looks good as ever mate. What's different about the RS bonnet?

djryan25

cheers pal. What u doing to the st.
im just uploading pics upto phobucket now of the front end rebuilt.

djryan25

just the holes are pressed out and not cut with a jigsaw

djryan25

The strip down. I've taken off most as i felt comfortable with. Only air con rad left in place. All crash bars and brackets of certain bits were taken off for a refurb. New bolts orders. Plenum off. Inlet off. New rs radiator was ordered for the better design outlet. New rad bracket and foam was ordered to replace the corroded one. Not got pics of everything but a lot of stuff was removed.

djryan25

I looked at the inlet and decided I could easily smooth the ports and take out all the imperfections.















ill show it all fitted on the rebuild post

Lee read

it is on here mate. My mrs got an anembo inlet to go on. BC coilovers need to tidy them up and will be getting a set of 6 pot ap front brakes. Need to sort a few odds and sods out. Sort the washer jets out as losing water somewhere (thinks it's the headlight spray jets not plumbed in) and a bit of body work and want to get the front end resprayed

djryan25

sounds good. Ill try find the post. If not post a link on here and ill go have a nosey. I wanba do all my suspension next. But prob bilstein road spec ones. Kind of like the ride as it is.

Lee read

https://passionford.com/forum/restor...-focus-st.html there's a few other bits she wants doin on it too. But can't wait to get stuck into it as well as do my escort rst

djryan25

Now the rebuild.





My map sensor wiring was very tight so i had a mate make up a extension so it now has room for movement.





this has also had an extra coat of paint to match rest of the bay.


the intercooler was stripped and repainted. Got rid of the red bits

djryan25

I wanted to have all my nuts and bolts zinc coated but i had already spent a fortune. So i looked up a trick to clean up the old bolts. And well the pics can show you how they came out











a lot of time was spent on the engine bay cleaning and painting as many parts as i could.













I'm very happy with the outcome. Looks so much better and rust free.

djryan25

As well as most engine parts painted black. All the surrounding bodywork was also painted Matt black.

djryan25

Owned these now 3 year. And have had no problems. There due now for a flush with 5.1 fluid. K sport dont sell the dust covers. Only ones ive found to fit correctly are brembo ones.

Welcome back. You don't have to use phitobucket on here now. If you look in the box your write/type in there is a icon at the top that looks like a picture,to the right if the smiley face. Click on that and you can get pics off your device/phone and upload them that way.

djryan25

cheers pal that's good to know. It was more the fact all my thread was pointless. Was just a hassle
