Sad to see the vocus go....

Definitely, though I just don't want to keep two projects around.

For the amount I use it as well, having something on club reg (1997 models will be eligible in 2022) makes sense.

    Valid point

    Picked it up this afternoon, visited my parents for my Mums birthday, and just got home.

    Did a bit over 100kms of driving in it and it's pretty much as expected. :)

    Pics or it didn't happen ?

    The first pic was taken in South Melbourne, where it had been in storage. The following though are after getting it home on 23/12.

    I haven't washed it or even had a good look at it yet but will start on it in some way in the next few weeks.

    Always liked black on a car , something about it . Bugger to keep clean but looks good when it is ?

    Aside from the top surfaces (roof and bonnet mostly), the rest of the paint appears ok so far.

    I'll give it a wash when I return from our mini-break and have a better look.

    I need to remove some of the parts I want to to keep from the Focus and find a new home for that first before I drag the V70 into the shed.

    Kool. It'll be in the next month or so.

    I need to swap standard wheels back onto it, swap the stock plenum back on and get a few small jobs done.

      What r u doing with the current wheels n plenum ?

      Going to see if I can get the wheels on the V70.

      18x8.5 ET40 might be snug though, so not completely against them going with the Focus.

      One of my customers might want the plenum.

        Looking good Ash. I do like the darker colours on the V70, I have a 97 T5 in silver but black looks way nicer. I look forward to reading future updates and hopefully get some ideas and borrow some inspiration from you lol ?

            I'd expect ET40 8.5 with a 235 will be too wide in the front for the S40 but a 225 should be ok on the same rim.

            I'll keep you in the loop regarding the plenum if my customer doesn't want it.

            I love the look of the wheels but might end up getting a set of Koyas if I can't get these to work.

            Worst case, I have a set of Volans I could refurb and use.

              Yesm

              Gotcha. I know the ones. Not quite my taste for a P80 though.

              18x8 ET45-ET48 would be ideal though.
