Congratulations Leo ... nice looking car. Nice that it's got 16s too - that will help you out when doing your brake upgrades - you won't have to worry about getting new rims beforehand, unless of course you plan on keeping your Enkeis now.
thx
i already have all parts but illl drive as-is for now.
need to get tires and coilover.

If you decide to keep your Enkeis I have tires that will fit.
sorry, i am not keeping enkei.
i got bored today and checked out the hidden fuse at fuse block, omg why ford hid fuse at the back?
u never know by looking at fuse panel.

anyway, replaced it and unlock/lock worked, then pressed trunk and poped fuse.
checked hatch wires and found this out..
can't be any worse than this..

ditto... a few pieces of black electrical tape and haven't had a problem since.
i had same problem on my kona, but it was only for wiper wires.

this time, i will run whole new wires..
Typical use of a piece of exercise equipment. What can I hang off it?
LOL~~
replaced whole wires from inside to hatch, should be good for another 10 yrs. lol
and here is location of hidden fuse, thanks ford

today, there wasn't much going on at the shop, so i removed hitch, looks better without it but now my focus looks like transport truck.

and recieved flat head white leds, so i can convert whole switches to lit white.

What are you doing with the hitch Leo?
