Well I'm sure many of you know vader, here's our history.....
First Real Stage (Body Kit, Minor Interior Mods, Lowering Springs, Bolt Ons):
Second Stage (Spray, Rims, Minor Exterior Mods):
Third Stage: (New Motor, Transmission Mods, Minor Exterior/Interior Mods)
Fourth Stage (New Body Kit, Painted Moldings, HIDs, Complete Interior overhaul, New Exhaust, More Misc Stuff):
Fifth Stage (Minor Exterior Mods, Supercharged, Big Brakes, Harness Bar, Custom BBS Wheels, etc):
COTM - (Check link for pics/info) http://forums.focaljet.com/team-rigz/59 ... pappy.html
Final Stage (Some minor motor work, EAP Recaros, Caged, Maxed out Coilovers/Suspension, Pimped out wheels, Tint....finally):
Well, what this all led to is today I sold the car. It was sold to another focus enthusiast that I believe will do the car justice, he's even on the forum...... I had the car for over 6 years and did everything with it I hoped to and I lost a lot of my interest in it over the last couple summers and didn't ever find myself driving it. I also have an 09 Mustang GT I bought this summer sitting in my garage begging for attention. Hope ya enjoyed the pictures, and the progress I had with it, I'll miss that car, but can't wait to see what comes of it!

Sad to see it go, I still remember the first time I saw that car long before you owned it Pappy. I watched that car go from stone stock when Roman bought it through to it's final incarnation with you.
I also remember the first time I met you at that show downtown with Trahma (Autovations I think), you were such a little twerp back then

It's not really gone, it just moved a few miles away. It has a nice warm heated garage to spend the winter in. I will be putting the blower back on it and will put on some new wheels and tires. I won't be changing much since Nils has done such a nice job with it.
I've had a chance to meet a few members of mnfocus in the last couple of months and can say there are some great people on this forum.
Niles was great dealing with the sale, my thanks again.
Now wipe that tear away and get that house built!

Pants too tight, wheels so bright!
