Default Need major help!

I brought a ford focus but it has been fully modified.

On the log book it is a 1.6 petrol but the engine is a 2.0L st 170.

The body work is a whole RST rep.

Problem i have is when i press the brake the side lights,interior lights, dashboard lights all flash.

The boot pop don't work and im missing half the lights on the dash like handbrake airbag etc, And the reverse lights have been cut because the switch don't fit on the st gearbox.

And the gearbox gator is rubbing on the drive shaft. There are other problems like jet washer bottle has a screw hole in it like they have tried connecting something to it. And the rear wheel bearing is on the way out. Can anyone recommend anything please? Thanks.

Chap i got it from was from ryill 2 and half houres away from me and he said all it needed was the back wheel bearing greasing other than TLC. car looks very nice half the parts on it people would find hard to find. money spent on it he could have paid a deposit towards an house. plus i never found problems till next morning we never got back till about 11.30 that night. i dont know how to upload pictures or i would have it up by now. im taking the car to ford all its costing at the mo is 80 pound for them to look round the whole car then ill have a statement from them saying how much it will cost to be put right car itself has only done 37,000. just hope i can get it done soon.
