Just make sure to get that intercooler behind the bumper.....wouldn't want any wayward dogs, opossums, trees hitting it!

lol i think it'll be safe for the dogs. Gotta a lot of work ahead with sanding and filling. And trying to fill the arches out to the width of the bumper. Gona get the back bumper on tommorow.

hi (insert name here, id pull it from your siggy as per rules but its not there) welcome aboard

you'll find that in here there are some great modelers gathered who will not hesitate to help you with any advise you might need (myself included in the latter part of the statement, not the first)

at any rate, i like where this is going

what kinda mill is in that focus ?

also, custom turbo or curbside or kitbash or....

well, to get you inspired to finish this here is a nice challenger

ill race your turbo ford focus with the evo 3 front end against my non turbo ford focus with the evo 5 front end

(and when i say non turbo i dont mean N/A either :> its just a plain old 572 cubic inch ford big block hemi with a roots blower on it)

cheers for the coments. I like the look of ur focus. What make is it? And is the evo from a model. My bumper is from a diecast model. Got the back bumper on but needs alot a work.

the focus is made by revell

(think its out of thier tuners series)

the evo front end was an optional part from the kit though the engine was scavenged from a bigfoo monsterstruck

sweet i have no engine at the moment. Unsure what to put in. Think it'll be jap turbo anyway. Just throwing ideas around at the moment. Got a few other kits on the go. They will be box made, this is just for when i get bored and want to cut somthing and start sanding lol. Would anybody know where best to find an engine? must be off the net tho as im in the uk, would be a fair trip to go to a hobby shop in the us. lol p.s how do i add a sig with my name?

for the record its craig smith

nice to meet you craig

first things first

on the right hand top of your screen should be your name

click on it and it will take you to your profile page

about 1/3rd of the way down on the right is a button that says "edit my profile"

click on that

on your left will now be a little column of options

the second option is "change my signature"

click on that

now you see a white block for you to write in with underneath that a button that says "save changes"

just write your signature in there, it doesnt really mather what you write, it can be personal, a bible verse, something funny, as long as you also put your name in there (part of the family, we like to know who you are)

once you've decided what to leave click on "save changes" and your all set

as for getting an engine

your best bet would be going on ebay and looking for a so called "junkyard lot"

these are parts and pieces other modelers are getting rid of which should be considered scrap or salvage, so you decided if you want to rebuild it or use it for parts

also, keep an eye out for certain kits that have several engines in it

like the modified stockers hauler or the revell 68 charger (not all of em though)
