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].

Re: IT'S BEEN DONE! look inside
Sheesh, just get a ranger tail gate and go to town! I'd also work on making a nice watertight false floor. Good luck

Re: IT'S BEEN DONE! look inside
I dig it too!
All it needs is a bed liner, a tail gate and a bed cover.

Re: IT'S BEEN DONE! look inside
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.

Re: IT'S BEEN DONE! look inside
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.

Re: IT'S BEEN DONE! look inside
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...

Re: IT'S BEEN DONE! look inside
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.
