Too much? Everyone have enough projects already?
You may want to make the price a bit more clear. It looks like you're asking $2000 for everything, but I can't be sure.

Sorry about that! I copied and pasted from my CL ad. I don't think hard returns with single spacing work on here. Anyway, $2k, Best Offer for everything.
This could be an easy button to MF rallycross podium at nationals

I'd really like to see it at the $2016 or $2017 Challenge. Would discount quite a bit if it was "guaranteed" to be there.
Not too shabby, unfortunately my friend who is typically interested in all things Focus bought a house.

Dumb! You can live in a car but you can't drive (or supercharge) a house! Plus the only reason we buy houses is to build projects amirite?

In reply to Forcus9:
that's what happens when you buy a house on a joint income with your wife, only to get the marriage annulled before a year......and manage to barely get by on your single income. He's got a bitchin shop space though.

Just a bump. If you emailed with questions please re-email me or repost, it's been chaos!

Also this is the CL post which is a bit easier to read:

Hmmmm.....my first car was a focus, it got totaled and then I built a powerworks focus back in 2008 and always regretted selling that car. and I've always wanted to try out the GRM challenge....
Email sent through craigslist link and picture of my old focus for posterity:
almost 5 days later and still no response from seller but it looks like the CL link is still active too?
did someone on here wind up scooping this up?
I'd try again and be patient.
