And to think, little over a month ago you were thinking of getting rid

Great update, and although the needles break, Stack has some awsome toys. I love mine!

I see rust on the alternator pulley, piss poor form and it should be scrap!

Awsome updates man, please promise me if this get's done by Ford Fair or whenever, I can get pics of my Focus with yours. Already had mine next to Ian Howell's old Focus, now Paul J's, so this would be ideal too

Looks like your nearly finished mate, pro alloy came up with the good then can't fault their work.
You've still got loads of room at the front of the engine I'm not used to seeing all that room with mine. Lol
