I found this gem on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-FOCUS-ZX3-REPAIRABLE-SALVAGE-RUNS-DRIVES-LOOK_W0QQitemZ150197032469QQihZ005QQcategoryZ31835QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

It's a pretty run of the mill wrecked focus ... until you get to the interior and see that someone put a 1980's vintage low rent tape deck in it - and from the looks of it - spent more money on the mounding kit than they did on the radio.

Holy crap......I'm just wondering how that happened. $200 not bad. Lots of room for improvement. Only thing that sucks is the salvaged title.......Oh well some sucker will buy it and join the forum and ask how to fix it......just wait and see......Haha

The guy doesn't mention even half of the damage the car has....
.
Radiator support probably needs replacing due to hitting snow bank - as well as a structure pull to align the unibody.
.
RT rocker panel needs repair
.
RT door "repairable"? - Fuggedaboudit.......it's toast.
.
RT quarter panel ("repairable") is borderline. Most reputible shops I know would replace it.
.
It's worth no more than $500 for parts.

Perfect for a sleeper car all dentened up put a mismatch color bumper on the front, winshield and spend the rest on the performance!

What I see is a perfect doner for a V-8 Swap!!!

There is a comp orange here in ohio. It is wrecked and they are asking 4200 for it. It has rear damage, but nothing on the roof.

Whoa...check out the positive camber on the passenger-rear wheel.

And as for the tape-deck...

WOW.

I'm going to take a guess and say it probably had a decent stereo in it, and when the owner trashed the car and realized it was going to go bye-bye, they took out the stereo. And the person selling the car probably just slapped in something they had laying around so it would have something in the dash. I wouldn't touch that car with a ten foot pole.
