Serves me right for keep suggesting that im gonna break the focus , im having a right good go at as the car rolled off the ramps and ripped a nice big hole in the side skirt.

Fortunatly the skirt was the only thing that was damaged!

Anyway , a trip to Pro Alloy monday morning may cheer things up a bit......

Who knows...... it could be completely stripped before monday!?!

Made it to Pro alloy today without a problem ;o) spent a couple of hours with Alex deciding on what hard line boost hoses and fuel system best suits the Focus. The Focus certain past the Pro Alloy test , Alex kept asking
"so is this bit (pointing to my fabrications) focus or cosworth or something else?" LOL im chuffed that he had to ask and couldnt tell what was factory Focus and what was factory Cosworth . Fantastic!

Taking a peek out the door.....


On the trailer and away.....




And finally handed over to Pro alloy ;o)
