Love the car brilliant job. If Ford made one of those now there are a lot of us that would buy one instantly!
Does it drive well on the road too or have you set it up for the track and just tolerate it on the road for testing/getting there and back?
A bit of both really. On B roads it’s a little rough due to all the rose joints and coilovers, but on motorways and track it’s a dream. To be fair it spends more time going to the Ring than anywhere else these days, but I’m happy with that. Thanks for the feedback guys.

Haven’t improved on 8:05 as of yet, always busy on touristfahrten days. But it’s in the 7’s, but will take some more guts because it is a bit of a handful. But it’s fun and driving there and around the area it’s a pleasure. Hopefully doing a last minute trip soon.
I used to do a lot of shows and tracks in the UK, but time isn’t much of an option anymore. So I normally just plan for euro trips with it.

Birthday today, still in lockdown, found out we're in Tier 3, Christmas/New Year and my mam's 60th birthday on Dec. 31st is cancelled due to lockdown issues and my crap NHS shift rotations .
So, cheered myself up by spending some time fitting this mount :lol: Car is now fully rose jointed or solid mounted. Not a soft bush in sight!

Engine bay is looking good - I hope you are able to get out end enjoy a few slippery roundabouts over winter 
Seeing less of this shape Focus about lately. Can't be long until ST170's become desirable. I looked at one a while ago but rust issues and a high tax band put me off.
Is there much else you want to do to it? It seems as complete as it can be now!
