alright, quick update on the foci project!
Since last updating I realized my entire driver side wheel assembly was f**ked, snapped tie end, broken cv joint on axle, bad bearing and broken steering knucke (where the caliper bolt goes). Ended up having to tap out the Axle from the other side. If you do that method be careful! I broke off half a flat head screw driver into my tranny. Luckily I fished it back out with a bendable magnet.
So all the driver side is back together finally. valve covers painted metallic silver now. transmission linkage is all connected ready to go. Starters bolted back on, wiring is all done and connected.
The last problem im having is the Battery relocate to the back. and dip stick. (escort - focus motors have different dip sticks, so you gotta swap'em) So once thats done, All fluids can go on and time to fire it up! can't wait.
