After finishing the both sides i thought i'd tackle the fitting of the RS1600i front setupso the fornt spit was removed and car put on stands.
So after 30mins umming and arrring the cross member was cut out to make room for the Mk3 escort replacement, reason for the change is simple, the escort cross member sits further forward than the fiesta one and i can move it up slightly if needed, plus it'll mean that the anti roll bar cross member will bolt straight on and i'll only have to worry aboiut the side mounting bolts.

The Mk3 escort cross member is about 10mm wider than the fiesta one so it'll need a bit of a trim, plus the shape of the front part that joins to the escort front panel is different but can and will be trimed to suit the fezzy


Cheers for looking
