Good job; she's coming along nicely.

**2focusd** · 08-24-2009, 10:40 AM

She looks lightyears better already than she did when you picked her up

**BOTTLEFED** · 08-24-2009, 11:14 AM

yeah, it is much better to dd now with power windows and the keyless entry

**Broke_Two_Foci** · 08-24-2009, 02:59 PM

the back of the car looks like it is sitting a little high.

vast inprovement though

**SVT0209** · 08-24-2009, 03:21 PM

man poor svt ..but its got a sweet hood

**BOTTLEFED** · 08-25-2009, 11:15 AM

well, it looks like I'm going to be selling my foci
I was already getting the ZX3 ready for sale, but I also decided to sell the SVT

so I'd like to ask, what do you guys think my SVT is worth?
I will be posting it up for sale in the FS section, but I'd like to know where to start pricing
also, I have to wait until I get 100 posts

**GuidoTheKid** · 08-25-2009, 11:20 AM

why are you selling

**boostedzx3** · 08-25-2009, 12:12 PM

After all that work?!

**BOTTLEFED** · 08-25-2009, 03:28 PM

I've always been a rotary fan since having my FD
I want to get an RX-8
I think it will be a better autox car and a nicer DD for me
the SVT is a great car but I want something different now

**GuidoTheKid** · 08-25-2009, 03:40 PM

fickle fickle

**BOTTLEFED** · 08-25-2009, 06:26 PM

I was spoiled by my Audi
I would get another S4 but they are not that great in autox

**boostedzx3** · 08-25-2009, 06:44 PM

ah i've seen too many rx8 owners disatisfyed and even former focus owners that ended up leaving their 8 for another foci. Apparently they still cant get the Apex seal right

**BOTTLEFED** · 08-25-2009, 07:48 PM

I know, I've had a few RX-7s
I've also rebuilt a few too

**BOTTLEFED** · 08-25-2009, 08:05 PM

check the FS section for my sale

A shame that you are getting rid of it. Don't you feel that you have wasted time and effort just to get rid of a car you didn't get to enjoy? The last owner was obviously a douche and you did such a good job fixing it. Although i must say that feel like I was hijacked. Best forum I have seen on here and you are selling it for how much? Oh well I guess there is something to be said about your abilty to fix this car and sell it for a profit. Kudos to you and i hope that the F****** liar that said it was totalled sees this someday. He should have recognized that a FOFO is not a civic.

Making fun of High School Ricers since '98. Long live your SVT. Great Job!!!!

**BOTTLEFED** · 08-26-2009, 12:59 AM

thanks

I really have enjoyed the car and have driven it everyday for the past couple months.
I really like the mpg

I have put a LOT of time into it, but I love doing those kinds of things. I have the money and time to do it so it doesn't feel like work to me.
I didn't intentionally get this car to make a profit. I just saw a good deal and lots of potential in it.
I hope the next owner will continue to fix it up and enjoy it, and not just trash it again. That's why I hope a true Focus enthusiast, like one of you, buys it

**SVT2RS** · 08-26-2009, 09:39 AM

Good luck in whatever comes next. I enjoyed your tear down and rebuild.

**HaveBlue83** · 09-16-2009, 08:13 PM

WOW, that's dudley123's old car allright. that thing got TORN UP. damn.

loved that car in it's prime, before all the stickers and all. I had my car looking like that a bit before my fire. had the hood and have the rims still.

can't believe it, i thought i'd NEVER see that car again.....THANKS!!

I have a bunch of picts of it from about stock to when he sold it if ya want any.
