This weekends update...so I came up on a set of rear disc brakes. Sadly my buddy lost his car in an accident, but I helped him strip lots of parts off and he hooked me up with the rear disc. Also got a complete set of SS lines to go with them.
Took them apart today and cleaned them up with the wire wheel and painted them. Used black engine enamel, so they'll last a long time.
Awesome Focus! I am glad I stumbled on the build while browsing this site. You have put an amazing amount of work into it, one of my favorite Focus sedans

This is easily my favorite thread because of the uniqueness of it and the attention to detail on what some people would see as just 'an aging american economy car' when it's so much more.
The trunk has had no progress. I gotta get with my buddy so we can weld it up. I have paint on order though. It will be done for Fabulous Fords Forever in late April. You should come check out the show, there will be about 15-20 of us Focus guys there.
Well my new rear disc brakes needed wheel bearings and so did my wife's SVT. A local shop wanted $75 to press out the old bearings and in the new. A buddy had a old 20ton press he wanted to sell for $100. I said fuck you shop and bought the press.
Did four bearings today in a few hours. Saved myself lots o cash.
Now what this suspension does is allow you full adjustibility and turns your rear shock into a coil over. 100_2799 by norcalfocus@rocketmail.com, on Flickr
Tomorrow I will dial it in and align it. I should be able to push the wheels out wider this way.
What brand shocks and springs are those coil overs??
