Also, did you see that Ken's daughter Lia chose an Audi Sport Quattro as her first car? That was pretty sweet. Okay, I am going to go and be sad about the world losing Ken way too effin' soon for little while now. :(

Very classy tribute to Mr. Block. I used to own a 2001 Focus ZX3, it was probably the most fun car I've ever owned. Towards the end of its life I would put winter tires on it take it out on the forestry roads around where I live and pretend I was a rally driver, I was 35. What a great little car. I'm super excited to see how your Focus turns out, but slightly more excited to see you give it the beans it deserves.... For all Focus kind.

The 2002 SVT or ST170Ford Focus 99 here in Straya 🇦🇺, has adjustable axles. You could space the axles out, while keeping the wheels bolted directly to the hubs. Using the wheels you have. It makes it easy to change the vehicles wheel track during a Rally. There's many sizes.

NGL. I was low-key worried that you'd given up on this project after getting Ur Quattro. Got another SVTF fall of '21 and Sir Codsworth was amongst my inspirations. I've decided going towards a Rallycross/potential-RallySprint build since it'd be too much work to restore it (it's in ROUGH shape). Watching you progress on yours gives some insight as to how far I'd want to go into my build direction. Thanks for sharing!

The Celica project has to wait because at this time of the year, shipping delays are a fact of life. Sarah’s not one to spend her time twiddling her thumbs, so the Ford Focus will be another project. As an automotive restorer, she can walk and chew gum at the same time. Considering the car is a Ford import from Europe, its not something you see every day in the States. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!

I've come to appreciate these more subtle tributes to Ken lately Sarah. Mainly because of all the 'Me 1st!' and 'LOOK AT ME!!!' attention mongers that are trying to cash in with disrespectful content on their media platforms that are boarding on inappropriate. The actions over words means of showing your respect like this are what we need now as we mourn the loss of a person who was much more than just a great wheelman. The over the top/full of glory action video tributes can wait until they are fine tuned and done well enough to to truly establish Ken's impact on all the people he had an effect upon during his journey in this thing called life. Always and Forever, May He Rest In Peace

Yay for Focus focus!! Have you seen the articles that Grassroots Motorsports did a few years ago on their rally Ross Focus? They saw some structural issues with the strut towers deflecting under rallycross use. Might be worth checking that to see if some reinforcing might be wise. Be a pity to have that kind of issue when the car’s finally being used the way Ken intended…
