Focus - For the street!

Finished this one just before Christmas.
Was finished in a bit of a hurry in the end as I kinda got a bit fed up with it.
Still was a good changce to practice some more skills!

It's one of the Tamiya WRC Focuses (Focii???) not sure which now.
I fitted new floors inside to hide the rally floorpan, reduced the roll cage - fit the big chrome 20's.
The car also has a BMW M3 dash and centre console that I had kicking around from my previous M3 build (hence why the steering wheel is on the wrong side)

At the time I got slightly disillusioned as Bossolani (hope it's spelt right) was building something very similar so glad I delayed posting until now.

Was my first two colour paint job and had a few slight errors polishing when I broke the line slightly but still think it's one of my best polishing jobs (hope the pics do it justice). I love the colour mix but my mates hate it!
I struggled to get the rear window to sit flush at the bottom but as I said I was kinda fed up by then and wanted to move onto my next project (a disater of a 348TS build that will never see the light of day on here!)

Thanks for listening!

Re: Focus - For the street!

I like the color and the wheels, good job. And the steering wheel looks on the right side to me!

I just scored an R/M Ford Focus SVT Tuner 2'N 1 Model for $2.99 on clearance at my local K-Mart. It's in the to-do pile but a peak in the box showed a nice kit with lots of extras. My plan is to just do a stock SVT build but we'll see when the time comes.
