Build Progress

Havent posted in a while, but I have been busy, and I moved back to St. Louis due to loss of employment. I am working now and have done some work on the focus









The head


intake manifold, throttle body side


intake manifold, head side


Did some cleaning


Old Crank was bent pretty bad, got a new one. Waiting on custom bearings and to finish the head work...

Gonna clean out the engine bay here shortly, thinking of painting it black or white.

Sorry to hear you lost your job here though, last time I saw you you were saying your job seemed pretty stable

it was, but due to some budget constraints by the DOD, we were cut. The exact opposite I was told would happen. Oh well, I was able to find one pretty quick up here.

Wow... you still have the yellow beast. I remember seeing that thing at the first Focus in the Field.

Yeah still have it, and not letting the dream die just yet

just figure I would stick my head in here to see what was going on,


I know it has been a while and between two moves, I started up the build again, doing some bodywork, removing my old bondo work.

was given a real RS rear bumper, dont know what I will do with it

Give it to Jim
