Starting Just before new year in the Christmas holidays i decided to strip the focus today! as the job situation isnt stable at the moment and that means most the money i earn is being saved i wont be jumping in buying a new turbo and manifold just yet! so i thought as it may not be on the road next year sod it i will strip it and make it like new again Theirs plenty of cleaning to be done and a mate at my work owes me a few favors and he just so happens to do powder coating so most things including hubs, driveshafts, subframe, rear beam ect will be going anthricite to mate the car a bit more unique and tidy it up at the same time! Also the list of to do's are: Get the top spec Gotech to eliminate the ford ecu and take full controll JE pistons and Eagle Rods Undecided on the turbo yet either another 28 or johns hybrid KW V3 Coilover kit in the group buy next year if it goes ahead fully pollybushed vibratecnics gearbox mount to complete the set alloy rad nortec manifold send the head off to cylinder head developments for a freshen up and bit of work ian howells exhaust cam if i go for the 28 new water pump and oil pump and lightweight pullys Ford motorsport inlet manifold and going to get a full blow over on the car so i have fresh paint as its looking sorry for itself from being in garages ect! those are the plans so far! depending on how next year goes so about 2pm today i went into the garage and made a start.... things to clean and tidy up thats how it stands now! time for the Megs APC tomorrow or maybe a heavy degrease and jet wash after! hope you enjoy! more to follow tomorrow night

wow thanks for your help! i have tried looking for inspiration but i can only seem to see a couple of pages in each section! why is this? can i change something to allow me to see more? car definitely needs lowering! was looking for some coilovers! handles like a boat at the moment! its black and only a 1l! but looks the part just needs some little touches to help it along! quite liking the lupo gti rear bumper is this a straight swap? coilovers and ATS cups are on the cards 1st though
