Ford Phokus...WIP

[JonD]

Cheers dude. Much appreciated

Right then folks, I've come to my final decision. And that is...the Phokus is staying. So, this means I'm really going to pull out the stops to make a fair few changes to the car for 2013. I'm not going into too much detail about what overall plans I have (I want to keep a few surprises especially for the custom work ) but I will leave this photoshop here and also inform you that its going to be staying static. Want to boss it with hard stance now.



I know I may get some **** for the wheel choice, but screw it. I've not seen another Focus on these and they'll be staggered fitment 17x8.25 front and 17x9.75 rears (so hopefully should be a first in the UK).

On a side note, I've just bought a GoPro HD Hero 2 so if the weather clears tomorrow I want to go testing that bad boy on the car

XXRs? I don't believe you can get those in 4x108, they only make the 521s and 522s in our bolt pattern last I knew.

[JonD]

Think you'd best double check dude

Been a little while since I last updated this. So the Phokus is still here. I couldn't bare to part with it (for some random reason lol). Its currently going through a 2013 makeover. I'm not going to be giving away any of its new mods until its done. But (without sounding too big-headed (my ego really isn't that big I promise)) it will truly be one of a kind. Interior, install, wheels...all one off for the blue oval

I will however share with you my new personal plate (which I am currently still awaiting the documents to come back from the DVLA...)




Watch this space...

Ok so I said I wasn't going to reveal anything until its done. But the plate's now on and I'm bored. A new install has been designed up for the Phokus and all new audio gear has been bought. So...here's another nice teaser for you all

Crazy! I love mk1s when there done right... I think the shell might need to follow the theme aswell rs orange ftw

[JonD]

So. Its been a long time since I last updated this thread. The car is now getting there. Loads done to the interior, a new install, custom airbrushing and a new set of wheels. The car should be finished by the end of this month. Here's a couple of teaser pics to keep you up to date

New centre console -



My new wheels (I may get **** for this...) - genuine 3-piece Autostrada Modena's which have been custom welded and re-drilled to 4x108 fitment by a professional -



More to update once done

Digging the wheels man, they are going to look great

[244Brick]

yum!

[JonD]

Cheers guys. Centre's aren't staying like that, they were just plain metal after being sandblasted. Colour/finish to be revealed soon

Had loads of problems (and still currently having...). Now before anyone comments "needz moar lows"...I know. But at the moment, I can't lower it more due to major rubbing issues. And I can't camber the wheels as they are 9.5's on the back now and there's a very tight gap between wheel and strut. So need to get arches rolled before I can go lower...

But here it is at the mo

[Chuckdee]

Fuck yes! lookin damn good!
