Ive found a bumper on ebay looks the right colour, but ill check tomorrow when i pick car up, its £150 delivered but will just go straight on and its complete with everything including spots which ill pinch , put it in for test and tax, so should be on the road for a grand, Ive bought it to keep and to get our lass out of the (sorry) fat arsed Megane she has. :D

Fair play george and good luck ...will ye be my dad? Lol ...nice project update us as you go pls

And I'm pretty sure the focus c-max has a different sub frame mate.

Its not for my daughter, its for our Lass, my other half who has just intercepted the one about keeping the good stuff for mine post LOL, I cant repeat what she has just said to me :D

Lol ... caught ... we have eyes everywhere

Well, had a bit of a fuzzy head this morning so after I took the dog for a walk, I decided to go down the in-laws and do 1.5 hours on the focus, strip everything off thats bust apart from crash bar, i will wait till new one is here before removing, also realigned wing so line up with bonnet now, well a good start point bound to need tweaking when parts go on, and pass door now opens, also fixed my glovebox :D

Looking good mate,

You got a real bargain there and I see you've topped up the coolant tank aswell ;)

Perhaps to repay the in-laws for storing your car on there driveway, you could give there garden seats a rub with Ronseal too.

LOL, but then it would smell and i will feel bad putting my tools on it ;), yeah topped it up just hoping all the parts come this week so i get it together and might get it mot'd back end of week, then hand it over to the handwash place for full valet :D ,

Costs so far are:

Car £745

Parts so far £111.99 (bumper, crash-bar and bumper drivers side mounting plastic)

so total £856.99

Lol Lenny, peeps sometimes forget you can polish lights, ive seen really bad ones done and come up like new, Ive seen rear lights smoothed, so all pimples and markings are sanded off with 1200 then 2000, 2500, end with 3000 or 3500 grit wet and dry then machine polish with cutting compound. ;)

I did say at the beginning that the light would save :P

George, you have me in awe at this time mate, seriously looking forward to the finished project!

Thanks James :) Ive stated a build thread with more updates,(My Cheap Focus Rebuild), its on the road from today :D
