Definitely some nice bits going into it
Front strut tops look very wide apart.
have you mocked it all up with 4x4 suspension?
Got good camber angles?

Exactly what i was asking Andy
It does'nt look like the front suspension mounts have been moved in to replicate the sierra ones so the front shocks may be standing up to straight
every 4x4 focus ive seen has had the strut tops moved in to 40" centres from the focus setting of 42"
Shaun have you mocked the front suspension in?

that looks proper that mate, hope you get some top notch engine mounts on it tho pal as with all those solid hoses on some damage will be caused if it snaps a mount which is common with the 4x4's

Anyone on here own a 5 door mk1 focus? If so please could you measure the depth (or if you like width) of you door sills? This being from under the rubber/sponge draft seal to the point where the bodywork drops down. On my 3 door mk1 it is 65mm and would just like to check if they are the same? Anyone who could do so would be doing me a massive favour.
