Still rocking the Mk1 Focus like a beast. I did so much work to keep my mates going and then his brother borrowed it. Got wrecked on Vodka and wrapped it round a tree. After doing the work on my car I have a whole new respect for people who do body work. I prefer to stick to replacing the odd door or bumper with an identical one. Garden paint jobs are really not my thing. 😂
Awesome video. Mine has rusted through in the same place as yours. I am amazed at how easy it looks to do I am going to have a go at replacing mine now. Cheers, subscribed.
Another great vid there Rob , that bolt that goes through into the headlight thrown me when i took my headlights out of my old focus some time ago , its ok when you know its there and how to get to it but when you dont and you need to get your headlights out it turns into a bloody puzzle but i got there in the end . Cheers ..
It's always nice to find matching color parts. I went to school for collision repair and did body work for about 3 years...I don't miss it lol but I can't want to buy my project car and do my own body work/paint .
Yes it took a few months to find the same colour cause I didn't want to have it painted. I've tried my hand at bodywork over the years but wasn't very good at it.
having watched couple of your videos. they're dam great!!! I'm so glad Eric O did a shout out to your channel. Now I've subscribed already once Eric O mentioned you! I'm from England, sunny/rainy Birmingham, slightly South East King heath! :) now I live in Idaho, USA, lol. have awesome day, my friend!
need to get mine off but little stumped 3 by lights 2 up top one under a trim piece and two i down the bottom i cant get to mk2 facelift i assumed theyd be the same
Nice work Rob and didn't look too bad of a job! And when you got through, you would never know that the fender was replaced. Now, go wash that car :)))
Hello.I have a question.I recently found a 07' A6 C6 4F 3.0 tdi quattro for purchase at a reasonable price.Are Audi reliable or not ? What kind of mileage should I expect ? Thank you for the support.
I only have one customer with a 3.0 tdi and that has only done about 80k without any problems. So I really can't answer your questions regarding mileage. Cheers
Thanks for uploading this something I really need to do to my Mk1 focus gonna do a lot of body works I got a dent on my door that I’m gonna work on my self
Only thing with the 10-15 year old Ford's is that they turn into complete rust buckets and need £200-£300 worth of welding underneath each MOT. My friend has a '57 plate Focus and it's all scabby underneath, my other friend had a '55 plate Astra and the underneath and bodywork looked loads better. But when Vauxhall's do rust, it's the floor pan that rots.
tile nibblers my tools are shinier OMG I cannot believe you write on your engine with tippex you would never work on my engines😁😂🤣😂😁😂🤣 you're sill looking really nice lol next job what was that magic to use that the end I have never seen one of them before it made a funny noise 😁😂🤣 thanks for the shout out mate
Told you mate, the service history is written on and around the engine....I'm never gonna loose paperwork that way. The clicky thing was a sound effect..I was actually grunting 😂🤣
Yep - just book-marked this for later reference. My brother's Focus is the same year and he drives like a dick - so it shouldn't be too long before I'll need a tutorial.
Love it that you always torque up the wheel nuts instead of just a rattle gun Rob.

It's keeps on rolling! Big respect to body guys!
Thanks for naming the size socket and which tools used to remove the fender. Much appreciated... Thanks
Brilliant, where did you get the wing sprayed it looks good.
Nice job. Watching this video sure makes life easy working on my old Ford Focus.

One Auto, definitely takes practice . Doing it for 3 years and I still have much to learn .
The intro did tickle me! Also that time lapse makes you proper rapid at doing that job :D

Hi Josh, thanks for subbing. I'm only an hour from Brum. Cheers 🍻
Well lucky to get a wing the same colour, nice handy swap.
It was although I was looking for a couple of months.. every colour but.
One Auto, good things come for those who wait 😉
Nice job :-) I had to change both of the fenders on my mothers 2001 Audi A6. They were rusted trough. Common problem with that model.
Good video though I have no access to a lift.
But yea looking to swap my left fender as I bought the car with a damaged one.
need to get mine off but little stumped 3 by lights 2 up top one under a trim piece and two i down the bottom i cant get to mk2 facelift i assumed theyd be the same
Saving this for future reference! Got to do this on mine soon!
it was bodgit and leggit garage that made to look at your channel. Great videos mate the s max one will come in handy coz I've got an s max
Cool, that smax maybe in for discs and pads soon. Cheers mate
One Auto, I'll be on the look out for it mate
How can i change fender indicator?
Nice work Rob and didn't look too bad of a job! And when you got through, you would never know that the fender was replaced. Now, go wash that car :)))
Yes an easy swap that one. I usually treat it twice a year 😂 Cheers Terry 🍻

Thanks Mark 🍻
Thanks for the vid. Love it! I’m doing one on mine tomorrow 😊

Jamie
That was quite handing finding a fender the same color. I like the editing...makes the video move right along.
Thanks Wyatt. It took quite a while to find one the same colour.
Thanks for uploading this something I really need to do to my Mk1 focus gonna do a lot of body works I got a dent on my door that I’m gonna work on my self
Faster than Scotty LOL!!!
Great job, actually it is very rare to see an auto technician working on his own car!!!
And not a wheel spin in sight!
I need to change the fender ford fusion 2007 is the same thank
yoly hernandez I’ve never done one but I would imagine it would be similar
Wow that wing went on nice. Ok Leon had the right tool for the job , Rob we use them pinchers of yours over here for castrating cattle. 😂😂🍺🍺
Castrating cattle with tile nibblers!! Your a sick man Steve Rob 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🍻🍻
One Auto, see I told you I had the right tool and Steve knows it to😁😂🤣
All this talk of tools and castrations is making me uneasy 😳
OK Rob I will have to demonstrate the castrators for you then. LOL
STEVE ROB lol

Yeah this ones hanging in there.
Has it not had any welding yet?
Ssssshhhh.... Oh no now you've cursed it 😜
Thick layer of undersealer all under it, day before inspection so it drips on the MOT inspector so they get out form under it quickly. ;-)
great video simple fast to the point love it
Ben Hijdra Thanks
Nice job ! Greetings from Poland :) !
Greetings Marek, thank you
tile nibblers my tools are shinier
OMG I cannot believe you write on your engine with tippex you would never work on my engines😁😂🤣😂😁😂🤣
you're sill looking really nice lol next job
what was that magic to use that the end I have never seen one of them before it made a funny noise 😁😂🤣
thanks for the shout out mate
Told you mate, the service history is written on and around the engine....I'm never gonna loose paperwork that way. The clicky thing was a sound effect..I was actually grunting 😂🤣
One Auto, I see that's what it was because I was definitely waiting for a Grunt not a click 😁😁
bodgit and leggit garage I bought a car like that with the service history in tippex once. Turned out to be a rite shed
What you implying? 😂
One Auto, tippex is just used for covering mistakes 😄😄
Great job
it's happened again
Ford thank you
Just today we did wing on Vauxhall and Ford cand bit Vauxhall as on Ford it's about 2-3 times easer: -)
Easy job!
One Auto, I would say on Ford it's piece of cake on Vauxhall its a bit (not a lot) swearing :-)
Nice!
Thanks 👍
Yep - just book-marked this for later reference. My brother's Focus is the same year and he drives like a dick - so it shouldn't be too long before I'll need a tutorial.
HaHa good idea 👍
A lot of work. 🙄In Formula 1 they replace the front wing in like 10 seconds.
Why do mechanics Always drive scrappers
You need to work on you're sorted to compete with bodgit
Leon's famous for it!!
Where is the paint code located on mk1 focus 04.????
Sorry don't know
