I don't have mods or anything special but the car is special for me! hope you guys enjoy!

This was my first car! I got my Focus in November 2008 just before i was done with school. i loved it with everything in me! Still cry every night about the ST!

From this

Image

Into this

Image

Image

Image

My dream is to do drag racing or to do rally so my mother spoke to my father and told him, "he's living out his dream to work over see, my suster is living here dream out to play guitar and my mother lives her dream out to paint so lets help the boy to live his dream out"

my father agreed and said he will go to Tartlon Raceway with me on S2S event and we will see what happens from the.
Balzak was there and i went and speak to them. they had a few runs and my father was inpressed. all the ST's did good exept for one black ST(Corne(Corbat)) the second run he broke his sideshaft(he ran GAS as well)
So my father sid its time we go home and so we did. Satherday morning my father said to me i have 2 choises.
1. Keep my car and i can make it faster with my own money But if it brakes i must fix it myself or
2. he buy me a new car so i took number 2

Image

Image

o ja he got the 350Z 1 week after i got the Fezz so couldnt have a race!

had a little accedent with my car. went through a pothole and had 55k damage! didnt had the car for two months.

when i got the car back i made the plastics gloss black, and painted my brakes red.(sorry don't have pics my laptop is stolen, so got this pics from facebook lol)

I wanted something else! Something thats never been done on a MK7 so i went to Extreame Creations and they made my car stand out big time!

Image

Image

Image

Image

so i changed my mind about few things and changed the look a bit to this

Image

Image

Image

i knew there was something missing on the car and it was black wheels! some will ask why didnt i go 17's but i told myself i will only go 17's when i get the turbo!

Sound wise:
1st set:
Pioneer 1400watt DVC sub
2500watt XTC amp
8gauge cable kit.

2nd set:
JBL 1600watt Sub
2800 Starsound Monoblock
8gauge cable kit

3rd set:
Infinity 1260watt Sub
Audio Bank 3500 monoblock
8gauge Stinger cable kit

really love my last set and i think it sounded goooood but it made me mad! to much bass

Image

Image
Image
Image

Image

Image

Breakfast run to the Vaal

Image

something im really regretting was to paint my car matt white. if i knew about plastidip before i wouldve never done my car in matt white 2k paint.

Busy sanding the vinyl glue off

Image

Done with the sanding

Image

Image

Image

Image

car was ready for some new black paint.
Paint busy drying

Image

made my calipers white

Image

okay looks like i lost my pics on the ST forum when my car was matt white so i will have to find them at home.

but this is how the car looked before i was in a chain accident. my car is a the panel shop now and will hopefully get it back next week.

I wanted gunmetal but the guy didn't mix the dip nicely so it ended up grey. i made all the black bits matt black.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

the dip will be redone when i get the car back. Im going with a matt red dip and all the black bits will be a nice glossy black.

Plastidip was pealed
LED's went into the new lights

What was done Saterday:
Saterday morning i cleaned my TB
Tried to fit the springs after my girl finished work but they were about to close.
Striped the car for some paint.
All the white panels is sprayed in frozen white.

What was done Sunday:
Roof was sprayed or messed up cause it the biggest bull that you can spray over plastidip.
Wing was sprayed or messed up cause it the biggest bull that you can spray over plastidip.
