Ive decided to change all the blue samco to black ones - not only due to personal preference but the new black ones will fit better!

From this


to this... and so on.......

Sorry I prefer the blue, matches that nice RS interior

You could change the blue interior trim to black ?

What ever colour its still a stunning car, real credit to you.

The car is booked in with Alex at Pro alloy on the 26th april for the custom fuel tank to be made and fitted. Then its basically a full wiring job including battery relocation to complete the build. Of course there are a handful of little odd jobs to be getting on with between now and april 26th.

Now this could be a good thing for RYAN as there is a lot of these cars being bilt at the mo me all so being one of them . RYAN if i sent you the full car loom from a focus could you go throw it and cut all the unwonted stuff out and make it so it could be put back into a FOCOS and work .

Good Question - but i think everyones cars are built differently and the looms may differ slightly too, i know mine will cos of the simple fact my battery is now located in the boot.

Very neat conversion looks at home in there. Must be the best focus cosy I've seen.
What sort of power are you running with it?
