This project car moves in waves.  It's my primary daily driver so I cannot part with it very long, so I wait and wait... and then do many mods all at once!  I have 3 of 5 waves done so far...

*********

"This SVTF was purchased new off the dealership lot in summer of 2004, and construction began the spring of 2005.  I love the original OEM color of CD Silver, thus when I began adding the OEM RS bits, I decided on a melding of the two.  While many would perhaps prefer the complete painting of the entire car in RS Imperial Blue, this car is NOT a replica; rather it’s a hybrid of the US SVT model and Euro RS.  I wanted to express that in the paint design, a hybridization of the two cars... thus the decision to repaint the entire car after the completion of much of the body work, but combine the SVT silver with the RS blue into a two-tone paint design.

Since the car was something unique in the US, and because I was going to need to repaint every inch of the car anyway, I decided to go a little bit wilder than my original plans (which was going to be a tribute to my inspiration, Fino, and his black/silver two-tone RS).  Trust me.  I went through a lot of paint designs before deciding on this one.  But you critics out there, reserve judgment until the car is completed, the paint was not designed for its current state, but rather for the finished product..."

STILL TO COME...

I'm still hoping to track down a pair of the Focus RS chromed headlights to replace the stock black SVTs.  Also expect to see a RS interior swap to include the Sparco front seats, door cards and most likely a rear seat delete with 4pt harness bar.  Probably going to have to go to the UK and carry the damn seats back myself...  Also trying to source RS front facia splitter, and cobalt gauges for monitoring supercharger (haven't decided on where to put gauges just yet to keep the look of the interior "stock").
