hi everyone, im wayne from mansfield. went to newark show and fell in love with the rocket. chatted to paul from rtr who is so passionate about the car and a great help in answering those unknowns! im in the process of looking for a donor and just missed out on a gem of a focus by £20! gutted. nevermind-if anyone knows of one please give me a shout. looking to order my kit in about 6 months once ive saved up a bit more money but currently buying other exciting things like alloys, lights, seats and harnesses, its so exciting, i feel like a kid in a sweet shop! anyway, hello to everyone on here, and thanks to paul if you read this for all your help at newark on sunday, my girlfriend loved sitting in the race rocket! laters guys.

Hi Wayne
I'm in nottingham just waiting for my rocket it should be ready to collect at the end of july, with you being at Mansfield you should check HBC salavage auctions at bilsthorpe, i got an 02 1.8 focus zetec with 70k for £ 320.00 only with only small amount of damage. You have to pay £ 25.00 to join but its well worth it. If i was you i would be placing my order asap as the waiting list is growing by the day and with the shows coming up the orders are coming in, i'm building my car over the winter getting it ready for next march, it will be on the new 12 plate ready for the spring and summer.
All the best
Chris

hi there wilmat. well the search is over! was searching the internet for hours yesterday and finally found the one. drove to boston to collect a 1999 focus 1.8LX, non-aircon, 86K, £580. would have been rude not to!lol. had a blast driving it back, seems a shame to strip the car due to how well it drove. so i guess this is where it all begins. ive started my build! oh yes! unfortunately cant order a kit yet as ive spent the deposit money on a donor, wheels, front and rear lights and harnesses. here comes the over time at work!lol. if your in notts im sure at some point we'll be meeting up to share some hints and tips, i know i'll need some anyway! im 26 yrs of age and completely new to kit car building so wish me luck! i'll be back on in a few days to check for updates.  |
