Well, it's been some real tough months, but my car as finally.
Yes that's right ..it has passed all it's safety tests. It is now my drive way... where i took some pictures... be amazed fellows.
isn't my focus the coolest..... haha.
Anyways, i think the bodyshop did a good job fixing it, that's the same back quater as well. they cut it off and hammered it out smooth. really sexy eh?
and the new bummper looks nice.

Good to see your foci on the road all legal like. More then likely after you start to get the car paid down you'll start planning on mods for it.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

Am really enjoying my focus. That Zetec engine gives a nice roar when u floor it, and the stearing is really smooth on it. I like it alot. ^_^
yea for mods. my first mod is going to be one of thoses super chips, i was looking up one and they seem to run about 4-5 hundred. I could afford that.
Oh and it seems i get a few freebies with my car. My dad is buying me
-2 new front tires, since my back one's seem perfectly fine
-1 new battery
- and he's going to take if for a complete oil change an stuff. So am happy.
I really hope to go to one of the saskatchewan meets as well.

yeah, don't think we are going to have meet till next year.
before you do a chip, do all other engine mods first.

engine mods? eh the only other mods i had in mind for the future was
-cold air intake
-new headers
-cat back exhaust
And that's it really.. since well ... am not really into nitro.... i don't like the idea that u only have ur high horse power for such a short time. and that it wrecks ur engine pretty fast. just not worth it , to me. ;)
Pretty soon my 2nd semester should start up and i plan to take my foci in and redo my wheels, nothing fancy, just take the rubber off and clean,sand blast, and run out all the dings and junk, then just clear coat em.
