Default Rear wheel drive fiesta
Hi,
Hope you can help, which front end would be best to use for a rear wheel drive conversion on a fiesta: Sierra / Mk2 Escort? - I also require measurements and diagrams for inner wings / paneling for conversion. Any help will be much appreciated.

The car looks mint mate. How did you do the RWD conversion and keep it standard don't suppose you have any closer pics of engine bay and rear axle? and also what running gear is it on?
