Finished my project! The alternator issue was only the communication wire, spliced a new one on and it works fine. Finished painting the door and got everything put back together! Total cost to me was $600

2014 Ford Focus SE with the notorious dual clutch transmission. 143k miles, runs, drives, shifts, stops. Bought from a college girl for $250, fixed for ~$300. I'm into it for $550 and it is solid..needs an alternator for a u012d-00 code (PCM not talking to alternator, still charges but it's iffy) and I need to finish painting. The transmission still shifts and I think it's had new clutchs and actuators because it wouldn't have gotten this far. THE AIR CONDITIONING FUCKING WORKS! Yes I know I shouldn't have used spray foam but I don't care.

The sunroof and windshield apparently leaked. The whole under the dash and floorboards are full of water and everything corroded. I was the second owner of this and it was optioned out completely, and mechanically perfect. Only had 187k miles. I traded it in for a 2017 Civic EX. The dealership gave me $2k for it and someone is gonna buy it at auction and have a very bad day when they discover it’s basically a flood car…
