It's nice being in a dry state, zero rust on anything under the car! Makes working on it so much better than back home!

Awesome to see you use Nerp products, Chaz the owner is a really good friend of mine

He was/is still a big part of the Focus community and only person who makes the shifter bushings for the mk1 so it was a no brainier for me.

Where in Scotland were you from? Hell of a move! I wouldn't mind that move some day!

yeah a total of like 12k made over 3 years, mine being a final year, one of 128 in my spec and colour IIRC.

Currently just waiting on parts, waiting on:

BC coilovers
NERP solid shifter bushings
Ford Edge rear wiper

Still have to go to pick n pull and pull half an interior to send out for wrapping in suede

SPC Camber arms ordered, two day shipping FTW so will see those on Monday!

So all my stuff is due to be delivered next week or so.

I cant wait to get the BC's on and start dialing it in a little, see if I can get the rears tucking tyre

Places a sizable order with Chemical Guys as well yesterday.

Now have the following coming out to me:
Hybrid v7 quick detailer & sealant 16oz
Afterwash 1gal
Allclean+ 1gal
Wheel & rim sealant
GlassworkZ 16oz
3 heavy duty sprayer bottles
1 detailing brush, goats hair

All together was like $145 order. I only went on to order the wheel sealant :lol: :lol:

Also my Ford Edge rear wiper shipped out yesterday so should have at least one photo update soon

[Whiskerz]

Well its now only 6 weeks until my first show of the year (Offset Kings @ Sonoma Raceway) so I really have to shift things into gear and get started on all the little niggly things I gotta get finished before the show season starts.

Already contacting uhpolstry shops to get quotes for interior work, and gotta put some elbow grease into cleaning up the engine bay.

Still waiting on new coilovers coming as well as solid shifter bushes and a Ford Edge rear wiper.

So expect a bunch of updates over the next few weeks/months!

Just placed my order for custom rate BC Racing Coilovers ended up going with 9k front 10k rear... Or 504#F 560#R depending which way you're used to seeing spring rates :lol:

Can't wait to get them on the car and dialed in. Might yet order camber arms for the rear.
Already waiting on solid shifter bushings to ship as well! Car is getting treated royally this year.

[Whiskerz]

Well those springs didnt fit in the end so its on to plan B for me. Most likely going to be ordering a set of BC Racing coilovers in custom spring rates within the next week or so, going to go with 525F 575R.

Going higher with the spring rates will allow me to drop the car another little bit, may also invest in some rear camber arms to dial the rear in a little.

Got a bunch of interior work to complete before show season rolls around and really begins in June, hopefully I can crank out everything I want to by then.

For those in the San Francisco Bay you will see my car at a few shows this year. Already registered for Spocom and Revelocity. Waiting to hear back from Blox and Wekfest.
