Hi,
Just a few pictures of my car, it's my 3rd car and owned it since January this year. It's an 2002 Focus 2l ESP and has covered 106000miles, it even came in at shed money - £900. It has been fairly reliable needing an ABS sensor and an alternator. I've had the rear resprayed as it came with a rather large rust patch.







And the offending rust,



(Excuse the poor number plate distortion, can't find the tool to do it in photobucket correctly)

Thanks for looking,

Ben.

Nice modern family car for the money you can get them for now aswell

I had a 1.8 mp3? In a few months back gave £275 for it as we had a tdci (sell a lot better) we needed some body parts for

Got that back on the engine and wheels

And Had a nice full leather trim witch didn't do so well (£80 on eBay)

I would defo recommend one as a nice family run about


Also if you want a tailgate iv got one lying about,it's in burgundy but £20 if your interested

Black really shows off how good looking the Mk1 facelift is. Especially compared to non-ST Mk2s...

Just to check, you do know your number plate is entirely legible in your profile pic, right?

lovely car, if your abit tarty like me, you can change your door handles to body coloured ones fairly easily, although i guess with a black car it doesnt show up so badly.

im guessing as a 2.0 it shifts, i do still get abit of a grin booting mine up a slip road, and tis only a 1.8

Thanks for the offer Autosdirect, just got the car back from having the rust repaired and got it all color coded as well, I think it looks much better than the black plastic.
My plans for it are to get the air-con fixed today, bought some ST170 pedals, looking into fitting the cruise control as I've got the parts and just to wire it in. Hopefully not too hard as I wired in the trip computer myself.
Its not bad speed wise, enough for some fun without going into crazy speeds. I've changed my profile picture, may have forgot about it hehe.

Thanks for reading.
