So I haven't really posted in here since I joined. I have done a lot of stuff to the focus since I bought it, so I thought it would be a good idea to put up a thread showing what it looked like when I got it and what it looks like now. I'll try not to post EVERY picture I have. lol
When I bought it, it was a mess. But I got a great deal on it. I don't have any pics of when I picked it up, but it had pretty bad hail damage. The windshield was busted up pretty bad, dent in the hood where previous owner shut it on the prop, and the Saleen wing was completely destroyed. It also had ugly yellow stuff all over it. Calipers, underhood wiring, strut tower brace. I did all the major maintenance, plugs, brakes, and complete mechanical inspection. Engine had 2 burned valves, so minor engine rebuild was done. All new valves and lifters. Had hail dents removed / repaired.
It's been a long road to where it is now, but it's almost where I want it.
A list of everything I've added since then, and pics.
Black corner markers
Sirius satellite install, replaced antenna with sirius antenna from late model mustang
Steeda RAI
Repaint yellow calipers red
Remove side moldings
Added decals
Replaced all silver interior pieces with black
Black housing headlights
Painted strut tower brace black and replaced yellow wiring with new fuel harness
Replaced hood - no scoop, replaced grill, added painted door handles and SVT folding / heated mirrors, and added new Motegi MR121 wheels - 17 x 7 40mm offset
SVT pedals.
So about a week ago, my rear passenger hub bearing decides to implode. Luckily the hub nut held and I was able to limp home. So my rear svt disc swap was moved up a little on the time table.
The heat burned the paint off of the drum.
Bearing pieces and destroyed pads.
Got the rear discs on yesterday. Also installed Steeda STS.
New spindles and new bearings pressed into used hubs.
Emergency brake swap. Was pretty easy once you get the heat shielding out of the way.
Spindles and hubs
Bracket to hold the new brake line.
Rotors, calipers and brake line.
Finished! And a pic of the STS!
