"So, immediately we are going to work on bringing ST again to life," he stated, beginning the video.
"I really feel like every time I make content material with that automotive I say the identical actual factor, but guys, fact be informed, I don't drive the automotive. It just sits."
He clarified that nothing was mistaken with the Focus – he was spending time behind the wheel of his different automotive.
"I might say it's mainly because the NISMO is up and operating, but we're going to scrub it immediately," he stated.
"We're going to revive it."
Apart from washing the dust coming from the within of the automotive cover, there was some mild maintenance he wanted to do.
"We received to fix the entrance splitter, so let's get to it."
Williams walked onto his driveway where the Focus ST sat underneath a automotive cowl that coated the wagon in a noticeable layer of lint.
"This automotive is extraordinarily dirty beneath here," he stated, operating a clean finger via the lint.
"Mainly due to this cowl. I don't even know what that's."

"I virtually forgot what it seemed like," he stated.
"It seems great."
He did a stroll around of the car, displaying the lowered peak of the car to take a seat over bigger and much shinier aftermarket wheels.
Williams took great care so as to add a entrance splitter onto the bumper and a rear spoiler for added downforce.
All of the windows besides the windshield have been tinted dark.
Despite engine modifications, he revealed that he decided to wake up the ST to assist him save at the pump.
"We've been driving the [Nissan 370Z NISMO] and having enjoyable in that, but truthfully I am extremely uninterested in spending cash on fuel," he stated.
"Actually half a tank in this automotive is about 70 to 80 miles, and a full tank only lasts about 160 miles, and that is nothing for an 18-gallon tank… If I'm going right down to 'E', it's about $70 to $80. Each single time and it's insane.

Before doing a deep cleaning on the outside, he replaced the rubber liner on the front splitter and cleaned the trash out of the inside for "weight reduction."
He washed the paint and wheels and dried them before he began the automotive.
"This is simply the loudest automotive I own," he stated.
"I'd turn off the pops for now because it is perhaps because I haven't pushed it for some time, but they're type of obnoxious."
