here i come with the first progress thread of this new kit !! Revell Ford Focus SVT Tuner kit
not much done so far, here are some pics of the engine and the body, which i opened the vents on the front bumper, looks far better like that.
the car will be white with black rims

the parts fit OK, you have to test before gluing just to make sure its right. but overall it fits right. i think that i will be using those rims that came with the Integra kit

Looking cool! Id say beige for interior colour.

Thats Very Nice! Engine looks Superb!

nice...for a ford :)

i agree :2cents:

i saw that kit. Is it hard to find? I found the giant wing pictured on the box art completly hidieous.

thx for the replies guys

Macdaddy4738, i agree that the wing is way too big. dont worry i wont be putting it ;)

Great looking car and great looking engine. Gotta have that one some day too :D

Great start. The engine is looking good.
Are you going to give it some custom things?

looks great so far :thumbsup:

great car!

Looking forward to see how this kit will look.
Good work so far!

YES! finally someone's building it.
Great job on opening the bumper. Never liked the body kits but the front looks much better now.
For the rear I see 2 exhaust cut-outs...you gonna modify the exhaust into 2 outlets/2mufflers :naughty:

thanks for the replies, and about the rear bumper and muffler, the kit already include a set of double muffler !

its going to be a nice one. I don't like the teg rims, though. I wwould try some 10-15 spoke style.

Kool. I think some Puegot 205 Rims would look better, but its not my kit. Good luck with it.

I like your engine. It looks so mean with the red head! Had this kit came to Canada? Ive been looking through quite some LHS in Calgary and there isnt any focus nor escalades

Awesome man!! The body kits look very nice, can't wait seeing it finished!!

sorry for not posting any new updates, i'm too busy with work and all to do so. since the last pics the engine and engine bay have been finished, but i may remove and relocated some things to add a big CAI system. the body is was painted white with a black hood. i also painted the rims black but i dont like them so i will add a silver lip. i won't be home until next sunday though, so stay tuned

about time for an update, isnt it ? body got painted and cleared with DupliColor stuff. i changed my rims choice because they use special fitment on this kit and after trying something out for 30 mins i got bored and just fitted some rims that came with the kit. i'm making a BIG CAI system right now, should be done soon, check back for it.

thx for looking, comments are always welcome

nice colour combo
simple but nice, especially with the black rims

Small update: i got the CAI system done, the air filter is a bit big but thats all i could find so it will do. i thought i was done with this engine a long time ago but i just decided to add this CAI system, and some wiring details. u'll see in the next update ! stay tuned and thanks for looking

So what do you think about this set-up ?

Dat is a friggin huge CAI!! nice and clean engine tho! keep up the good work!

Filter is out of scale but the rest looks good. Keep it up!

JeFF

Cool car, very clean. I like this combo. :bigthumb:

Nice, very nice...

Will you keep the white color on the body? The engine is looking good... but the air filter it´s just to big i think. :sly:

This is my next project... i will keep an eye on yours... :naughty:

:sunglasse Lookin good, I like the color choices.

Thanks for the comments guys.

dias: yes the car was painted white.

i agree with you all that the air filter is too big but i found this rod in my garage so i thought it would be easier to reproduce. and i failed with any other method.

Hey guys i need your thoughts now. i'm stuck...

Should i paint the interior black with red or white tone ?
please tell me what you think !

I would chose the red... but hey it´s just my opinion.

mainly black with red seats and on the dash and door trim

I think black with red seats and white accents would go very nicely.
