Can't see why not mate, Seen one in a Mk1 Fiesta, so shouldn't be to hard.


Looks like a nice solid base to start with, Wish my S2 was that clean before i started on it.

cheers, and yea i would like to fit one, if not i guess it would be an st170 engine going in, would a turbo in a fwd go well on the track ? i thought it wouldent thats why im thinking about a duratec on throttle bodys or sumin
anyway i did a bit more today, took the spare wheel well out and trimed a bit out of the back bumper
