this is my 2001 ford focus after i repaired it from totaled condition i would have before pics but i lost them on a an old laptop
it has a whole new front end even had to section the left rail, its unpainted and has some shabby bodywork on the other side.
im not used to 4 cyl fwd's i love mustangs so this is a learning curve for me...
****rate and comment please****
DO NOT leave malicious comments if you want to talk trash do it elsewhere.. if you dont like something tell me what is you dont like otherwise you get a nasty comment right back
my mission:
my goal for this custom is to build a car on a budget that everyone can aprreciate; taking little tricks and styles from all ends of the customizing spectrum... its still in its yuppy stages as of 9/2/09 but its far from over...
projected outcomes:
these are just some sketches of ideas that hit me at anytime and i scribble them down on ANYTHING :) please comment and give suggestions
this will be the new project direction
sonic blue on the top half and ebony black
on bottom separated by a white tribal flame
i will convert to the 05-07? front end with a lovered fiberglass hood and custom front bumper
custom fender flares and widened rear quarter panels will complete a one-off wide body focus
on a paper menu at the old spaghetti factory
possible rear
suicide hatch >) with subs in the panel
the evolution of "relentless"
begining stages:
theres the bad spot i was tellin you about.. i walked out of martins and there was a massive 4 deep by proboably a foot wide dent in the door i had to replace the window, regulator and reinforcement... upon viewing of the surveilance tape it was an old lady in a crown vic that didnt turn all the way and rammed me... your out there... stupid lady
first mod is home powdercoat rims (my tape job is horrible around the barre) anyone can do it with a kit from summit racing and an old retired oven.
i hated the frumpy silver streak so i got some left over paint from a red civic...
then the interior
next was the hood i hadnt painted it yet and toyed around with fabricating some giant vents running up either side of the hood but decided to try thisfor now... fake carbon fiber... its paint
CAI, coil pack, valve cover, deleted egr, ecu flash, cat delete... thats all for now..
its dirty i'll clean it up and poweder coat to match when i rip it out for turbo, rebuild, and 6 speed tranny swap
my exhaust is a custom welded/flanged stainless steel setup thats 2.5 all the way back from the deleted cat.... ready for a header... with a flowmaster 40 series and a 3a racing "can" for the tip...which i tried very hard to conceal >P
very clean lookin except that gash in the bumper cover>( some duche in a parking lot.... i will find you....
