Starting to get the bug again now , so istarted with fitting an Escort air box, despite fitting it to a Sierra inner wing in a focus, it was easier than i first thought!

Deffo a good thing. You get the recognition and the pleasure of looking at your hard earned project on the glossy pages, as well as extra pro pics on disc.

Yeah had a decent Birthday (19) all in all thanks , was well happy with my pressies - the mrs is finally on my wave length with these!





Gonna get the Braso out on the Mongoose from now till the weekend - give it a good shine!

Thought id do a bit more tonight before christmas mayhem...... and as it was just above freezing out tonight i fired this bad boy up !


Offered up the back box which needed shortening.


Once fitted i was quite pleased with the way it fitted in relation to the Focus RS bumper especially after one simple cut!









Im defo going to loose the outward rolled lip as the tail pipe needs shortening anyway and re weld it so it exits the bumper nice and straight! I may use the left over pipe as the new tail pipe?
