DISASTER!
My car was really nice and shiny, so i decided to put it on the trailer today and cover it with a "waterproof" car cover, and it rained.
So then i looked underneath the cover and there was water everywhere!

I'm gunna have to polish it again at ford fair by the looks of things... if the weather is nice :/

Looks a pretty good car for a moon miler!

Should be nice after all your mods

What brake servo are you going to be fitting?? With rear discs, and bigger front brakes... you will need at least a MK6 Escort servo, or bigger MK2 Mondeo servo (MK2 Mondeo one is a straight swap)

I thought it was MK1 mondeo. Either way i'm fitting a nonABS mondeo servo lol.
I'm not an expert at welding so i'm not going for the escort lol

I've decided to go with what you said, the mondeo mk3 calipers with st170 disks as they are 67093274x cheaper lol
1 question, do the st170 pads fit the mondeo calipers?
It's just on ebay they are selling sets of pads and disks for the st170 for pretty much the same as just the disks, and i just wanted to know if i had to throw away those pads and get the mondeo ones lol

Nice one, I used the MK3 Mondeo Pads... not sure if the Focus ones will fit...

I just went to local motorfactors and asked for the pads for the calipers and a set of discs, came to something daft cheap like £40

Tis definately MK2 Mondeo Servo too (see:- http://www.mwstewart.co.uk/articles/mk3mondeomc/ )... the MK6 Escort one is a good one also but you need to faff cutting the welding the rod shorter
