I should have pics of it all back together Monday.

Yea!

Next in line.

New rear subframe
Ebach sway bars front and rear
Leather the seats.

I may be getting the turbo and Lentech transmission in the next month.

I am going to try to have it all done for next year FocusFest. When is FocusFest? Dates for this year and next. On the website it says registration is closed, does that mean I cant go?

Looks fantastic! I especially like the pinstripes running down the sides.

LOL @ painted brake rotors. I wonder what the guy was thinking -.-

I don't understand doing all the body work to smooth out the body and repaint it, to then slap a pin strip on it. That is my first and only complaint. The rest came out amazing!

The pin stripes are painted on and cleared over. I like them, it breaks up the solid color.

Putting it back together as we speak. Should have it done today.

Woo Hoo!

did you custom make the exhaust tip or buy it? i have an evo 5 rear bumper that is set up for center exhaust but i can't find a place that sells the tip that fits. Looks like it turned out nicely

The guy that did the paint and body work did the tip. He also removed the spare tire well so the muffler can sit there behind the tip.

Thanks,
Joe

Looks bad-ass! Honestly I think there are many ways you can mod a Focus, the car has good lines but the Fast-and-Furious Era styling is classic for these first gen cars. Clean and a little wild looks awesome! Will get the looks for sure.

Thank you everyone for your comments and interest in my build.
Only a couple hours left on the body and this stage is done.

Picking it up tomorrow.
