Default IT'S BEEN DONE! look inside

All I can say is WOW! This Focus has some great potential, but I am not sure if the owner is about to finish like most of us envision [get Kristina to sketch some cool cab concepts]. Seems he did a reasonable job of blending in rear doors and cab windscreen. Now that the hard part is done all he needs is little more cross bracing in the back. Wish I met this guy in person, he needs some influence to make this baby decent. What are your thoughts? [btw I did not take these pictures, found them in local forum].

Sheesh, just get a ranger tail gate and go to town! I'd also work on making a nice watertight false floor. Good luck

All it needs is a bed liner, a tail gate and a bed cover.

Wow, i don't know what to say. I'm kind of pleasantly shocked...in an uncomfortable way. I need a confused smiley.

Is that the wagon rear glass? Impressive.

I always liked this 3 year old concept from Mazdaspeed Elite for SEMA. Since then I was wondering if someone would take Focus chassis along similar route and then I stumbled upon this Focus. I hope that this chopped up wagon is still under construction and ends looking decent, I'd hit it.

It needs that little extra 'window' like John did with his 'Transporter'. But otherwise it's nice.

Here's an old sketch of that thing...

sorry, I'm not feelin' the love... the cab ends right at the b-pillar.. boo! and wedging the rear hatch glass/frame from the wagon to fill the space is a poor decision.

5/10 for design
7/10 for fab

Is that a serious question? Of course you're not, there are certainly plenty of other people that feel the same way.

I don't even find it attractive, but I do find it cool otherwise. The amount of utility I'd get from such a vehicle is pretty significant... and I can admire the guy's ability to see the project through. I don't apply that to all projects, of course, but this one I give an exception to.

That would certainly be more fun to drive around the golf course than a crappy old golf cart.

Personally, I admire the work but dislike the rear window. Overall

Not my cup of tea, but very cool idea nonetheless
