Hey guys so this is really my first thread so ill start by introducing myself. Im a huge car guy but mostly spend my time working on mitsubishi's mainly galant vr4's, eclipse/eagle gsx's and evo's so the focus is new to me. I got my focus, 2001 zx3 maroon, for $1000 from a friend with some major cosmetic damage and in dire need of a suspension overhaul. So this posting will be of the build to get this car back to some glory hopefully make it as fun to drive as possable a long the way.
The first mods will be all to suspension mostly trying getting the engine runnnig smoothly and getting all my general matenience done before throwing money into the engine and kill it prematurely.
Ive ordered a set of coils to get the suspension back. Since the stock is so blown from the previous owner putting lowering springs on stock struts every i hit a bump I am scared the oil pan will rip off.
i also am starting work on the cosmetic damage. The drivers side fender is destroyed and the bumper is gone. So a new fender is being sprayed as we speak and i am in search of a new front bumper.
Next posting will be pics of the car as it sits now then with the new coils and hopefully the front end looking semi acceptable.
