I live in melbourne's inner western suburbs. My driveway has a dip that may scrap the Focus' from bits when reversing in. I would like my drieway ready for when my Focus arrives.
I have no idea who to go to to get a 300x130cm 10mm thick sheet to steel to plonk on the driveway to smooth out the dip. Can anyone give me any suggestions who might be able to supply and deliver such a thing? What about a guess how much it would cost? Thanks folks. |

Try a fabricater. They may be able to help you.
If not, dig up the driveway, get some fill and level it out, re-concrete/tile/pave it. May cost more, but you won't have this huge lump of steel sitting in the driveway.

I'd have Eibach springs on my car right now if it wasn't for the &*$@## driveway!

Guys, have a read of the following thread in the FPV forum. The Focus (pardon the pun) is on the clever solution from the member graphixboy -page 1-last post, no 25

Got a call from the steel fabricator regarding a quote for a 300x130cm 1cm thick plate of steel. $800 bucks!

I rang the local council and was told they'd come out and measure and put a steel plate on my driveway for free!
