If I had a nickel for every broken focus door handle I've fixed... (There's a weak pin that always breaks.)


LOL yeah I had that too. Forgot about it. Cheap fix was an aftermarket door handle from Amazon or RockAuto or someplace like that.

I'm not saying it was a perfect car. The interior was cheap, the sheet metal seemed to be recycled tin cans, and it definitely showed its age by the time I got rid of it. But that engine and drivetrain seemed to be bulletproof.


Yeah, the engine and drivetrains are immortal, everything else is constantly dying though.
