Focus ST170 Spruce Up

[Sunglasses_Ron]

My mate has just bought this ST170 with just over 100,000 miles on the clock.

I know that everyone tends to knock these cars but it's his pride and joy and he wanted it spruced up a bit.

It's screaming out for a proper correction but due to lack of time I just wasn't able to do that today. He's bringing it back when the weather warms up a bit and I'll go to town on it.

So today consisted of a wash, decon (IronX/TarX), Clay and a once over with Prima Amigo by DA to get it shining a bit. Sealed with Hydro2.

The headlights were fooked as well so gave them a quick refurb. It was a bit of a rush job but I'll address them properly when he comes back again.

Considering the mileage you have made that look almost new! You have a lot of detailing products on those shelves .
Nice house too.

Top work as usual, but you're mad cleaning cars in this weather.

I used to love these but always sempt to hold there value when I wanted one.

Certainly doesn't look like it's covered over 100k! nice work

Looking very smart mate, the mk1 focus still looks a very sharp car despite it being released 18 years ago now.

 

[Mr Plums]

Nice colour, it looks in really good condition from the pics although the st just lacks something, it might be the rs badge.

You have done a great job by the looks of that

I really like these, nearly bought one when i was 19 actually!

 

[Typhoon]

Good job as always, Rondingo.

Yeah i was in the same boat mate.

Unfortunate mot close up the bonnet is peppered with stone chips. But I guess you can't expect anything less in a car this age. The rest of the paint is in fairly good nick aside from being a bit swirly.

A day or two getting busy with the DA will get it looking really nice.

Yeah it was ahead of its time when it came out wasn't it. I had a hateful 1.4 Zetec but it was blinding for driving to work.

Yeah the RS is awesome but carries a massive price tag.

Me too mate.

Why do people slag these off? Thirsty maybe, but seem to remember they handle quite well, look good, spacious - my buddy's old Zetec 1.8 was a hoot.

 

[BoatNonce]

There's one of these in work, in that colour and level of cleanliness.

I lust over it daily, for no reason whatsoever that I can work out. I think maybe because they're like a less-ASBO RS.

I had a mk1 2.0 Focus as my second car, loved it! I'd happily drive an ST170, but I don't think I'd buy one.

 

[cpaterson76]

Still love the look of these, particularly in that colour...... Side stickers don't do it for me though.

Being a detailing freak, I appreciate cars that are standard and very clean and for its age, knowing how suseptable to rust those are, that is very nice :up:

 

[Naith]

I like these. I remember some nugget in LeMans driving one round the site like a pellet years ago so the image in my head of these isn't what it should be haha!
