Optispart's Ford Focus BLOG!​

Well here is my new blog for my new car Ford Focus 1.6LX, still got the micra atm, need it sold tbh

well i bought the car for £200, V reg(2000) 80,000 BARGAIN and it cost me £90 to MOT in the form of a new horn and new reg plates, there are a few dents, which is my first port of call. I have a few plans for this car so far, ill keep the blog updated. Cheers for looking!

Couple of pics of the car.

I began work on gettin the major dent out of the rear, ill post pictures up of my progress so far.

Very nice, my other half has a 2.0 Ghia focus, cost a bit more, but it only has 14" Alloys I assume those ones are 15" aren't they?

Liking the colour, be interesting what you do to it, I'm not allowed to touch her's as it's the baby mobile, lol.
