My newly acquired Focus (56K Beware)
Doesn't look anywhere near this good anymore. It was originally red and was a Mcnew's edition focus from back in the day. I will post some pics of it's current state tomorrow.
And a video of it running.
Tranny was shifting a little hard and i was concerned there was water in it so i decided to drain it out and flush it and switch it to some fresh ford honey. Here's what came out.
Small hole in the passenger floor board that's gonna need fixed.
The drivers side rocker panel got a got sized dent in it also. But i have stock black side skirts that will cover that up.
Also a hammer mard on the passenger a pillar if you look close you can see it in this pic.
Installed my old headlights.
Made some more progress
Had to put a radio in it was going nuts without one. Got this from a junkyard for $40 dollars and bought the install kit to mount it. it's a jenson cd player nothing fancy.
This is my good freind Andy. He is the guy who fabbed up my turbo kit for me and is a very good fabricator and welder. He was helping me repair the damage from the roof scoop. had a bunch of screw holes and a huge die grinder cut that needed welded shut.
Got a Rousch midwing from Karl at Massive
Ground down the welds and slapped some flat black on it to protect it until it gets painted in january.
This is the damage that was done were the ww mid wing was ripped off. They must have used a large screwdriver or prybar. i ordered a new mid wing to go over the area and hide most of the damage. Also pictured is the green gas door that i got from a slavage yard to replace the broken one.
This is the hammer dent on the passenger a pillar.
It's six different colors(red, baby blue, yellow, primer, flat black, and green) right now and i may add a sen=venth color if i can find a good oem rear bumper to replace this damaged one. But it has run great so far and this is how it looks going down the road. I get lots of looks in both of my Foci.

for a great price. It's alot bigger than the WW one that is on my other focus, which is ok cause it covers up the damage alot better but if it wasn't for that i would not recommend this wing. I think i may add a rs or svt wing to offset it a little more.
My replacemant green gas door
Don't mess with the ZX3-RR
