Cochyn - Focus Cosworth project

[Cochyn]

Oops! Slight mishap the other day and it didn't even leave the driveway but trailered to a mates bodyshop and sorted within a day. Quick turnaround too, but now back in the garage and left unmolested till April

[Cochyn]

Big update coming, having finally removed my rear beam and sent off to MK Motorsport so Mark can sort my 6 degree rosejointed adjustable beam. No pics as of yet, but here's a few I found that have been made for previous customers. Pure work of art! So far I've the usual cleaning, grinding and undersealing of any section needed under the car ready for the rebuild.

[Cochyn]

Nothing much to update as of yet. Spent some time cleaning up and painting the rear brakes on the Mrs. Focus RS, then a spot of extra underseal just in case under the FoCos. Just waiting on the 6 degree beam and its ready to roll

Not much room to work in my garage





Diff cleaned up a bit too....

[Cochyn]

Did a couple of tidy up bits while I continue to wait for my 6 degree beam, but much needed items I've seemed to overlook over the years.

Got some alloy sheeting and made a heat shield around the brake servo, then painted it with some high temp black. Neat enough. Replaced the old Cossie gear gator with this nice leather one. Then fitted the top Kinsey Motorsport foot plate.

Sorry for state of pics and car, need a right good clean inside and out and the exhaust wrap needs re-doing.

[Cochyn]

Added a bit of extra heat wrap on the exhaust with stainless ties, along with a few other neat touches. Happy with the bay now





Finally fitted the wife's RS slam panel and went on to tidy a few bits up. Still need to paint the throttle elbow and flush out the header tank to get rid of the anti-freeze stains. Looks well now.

[Cochyn]

Throttle body sorted, few more bits and bobs before in goes into bodyshop next week to have bonnet painted and the other quarter repainted. Smallest spot of rust on the inner arch and the previous owner had it touched up at some point and his bodyshop painted over the original Armourfend Got a new extended arch Armourfend to go on once its back to match the other side after that had its paint job. Should be all minty mint then Also got the Mrs a nice new front splitter, since the original was a bit tatty.

[Cochyn]

So chuffed, Mark's finally finished my beam. He's got a busy schedule, but he's added my solid mounts and my handbrake cable brackets next to the main beam adjusters. So top job all round! Can't wait to fit it Friday.

Cheers Mark!!!

[Keller]

Looks great as usual Alan! Keep it up!

[Cochyn]

Finished fitting the beam. Drove to the top of my drive ok and didn't fall apart Need to sort insurance out to take for a proper spin.

[Cochyn]

Had the car detailed today, happy with the results!

[Cochyn]

Got busy today for a shoot









Obligatory

[Focus RS]

Mmm... Looks really nice Alan!

[Cochyn]

Since having the new beam, I had an issue with the original handbrake cable mounts being a little shorter than before to make room for the rosejoint adjuster. So had to cut the cable a little. Found this neat little billet clamp which has worked a treat. Normally used for throttle cables on go karts

[Cochyn]

Got busy today. But one of the AN fittings had small hairline cracks so wasn't sealing, resulting in a fuel leak. So ordered another and she should be good to go
