this will be my focus's last winter, This time next year the Focus is being put away and I'm getting a beater or a 2007 / 2008 City Jetta.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

Running my car year round too, hence the winter tires on the stock 15's. I doubt I'm gonna run my truck around much, if at all during the winter, and once it's restored, then I won't drive it at all in the winter.
I do however need to do some fiberglass work to the rockers on the Foci, as the sideskirts I bought don't enclose the bottom of them, and I need to get it oilsprayed again...
