Yes I did :) I figured it would be more cost-effective to fix what was wrong. I was very selective at what I sold because I either had a replacement part lying around already, or I knew exactly what I wanted to replace the part with.

Thank you :)

Yay!! Glad to see you and the focus back [clap] [woot]



Car modding is an addiction lol
Yeah, I am glad too! I think I woulda really regretted it if I went through with parting it. Yeah, modding really is an addiction :D

For those that have never seen the many fronts this car has had, here are a few pics (the rear has basically remained the same for years lol)

Back when I had no idea what I was doing lol (Pro-DTM front, sold to fund the '98 Euro):


1998 European front with Rieger lip (I traded for a facelift front):


Facelift front, I didn't like this as much as I thought I would, I never shoulda traded for it (I sold it to fund a full Rieger front):

I'm so glad you kept your car! I can't wait to see what you have in store for it in the future.
Thanks guys!!!

So, many of you may remember when my engine bay looked like this:



Well, I have made a few changes :D


I also went ahead and got the Sparco Assetto Gara wheels in Fuschia.

My bumper, splitter and sideskirts are also here! (yes I know dirty pics, I'll clean it later lol)


I got the front in primer, now just waiting on paint :)

Very nice ride ma'am. That's a cool pick with thee hood cross sectioned out. Is that a Photoshopped? It looks baddasrse! Very nice touch!

I hope someday my lil DP looks half as nice as your ride!

You make me want a volant scoop and RAI!
 
#13 ·
Thank you! [:)] Yes, I photoshopped the engine back in lol The Volant is awesome, you should get one!!!

Thats was always my dream bumper, glad to see you back at it. Why the gap in the front? not attached all the way?
Thanks! When I take it off to paint it, I gotta cut more of the crashbar away, for some reason, this bumper is still catching on the crashbar.

Car is done! (haha, yeah right, lets see how long [;)] )

Still have some more interior work to do, I have some stuff coming for that, but at least the exterior and engine bay is exactly how I have always wanted it!

















Just gotta wait a month or so to buff out and wax the bumper :)
 
#20 ·
Those wheels look AWESOME ma'am.

Im looking for a volant, a member here has talked to me about purchasing his when he goes turbo. Im still waiting to get my DP back from the mechanic!! 8-(

Anywho, very nice whip indeed!

Thank you very much! [like]

you need to work more on that fuel door it does not sit flush
Yeah, there are a lot of quirks, issues with the car, I'll get around to fixing them all eventually, but I just don't wanna get dirty [;)]

Took it to a car meet last night, it was very well liked! When it used to have the OEM+ theme and Tarmacs, nobody at car shows would even glance at it except for other Focus people, but now people love it! Everyone asked me about the car and a lot of them said that my Focus was the only one that they have ever liked!

I haven't been on the Forums in a while, but I thought this Focus was owned by a male? Did you do a user name-change too?
 
#24 ·
I am the original owner of the car. What I will say on a public forum is that I am transgender. Since this is a car forum and my life is not car related, if you have any questions, please feel free to PM me [like]

Yes, i changed my username too :)

No worries [twothumbs]

Anywho, she's got the car "dressup" thing all figured out. And I may have said this before Katie Kay, but it deserves to be said again, I totally love what you've done with the place Ma'am!!
Thank you :)

My favorite pic of my car right now, and yes I am in the pic [:D]



And a few more :)

You do have to respect her for having enough intestinal fortitude to inform you that you were/are correct about the "previous" owner.......

/me runs and hides!!
