well as my mate is getting the limelight with his viper powered cosworth, i thought its about time i got my arse in gear, i knew what engine i am using, just had to decide what to stick it in, options were, focus rs mk1, transit mk6/7, mk3 cortina taunus coupe, sierra 3dr, or a mondeo st220 estate, but an 06 plate st220 hatch came up at the right time/price, with full history, 45k miles and a dead engine, (actually the engine was just noisy, till mark collected it and 22 miles later had a rod out the side) so it got bought,

i wanted to b different, get away from what everyone else does, so,

this mondeo st220 is going v8 RWD, but will look all factory, exept the wheels, amd its not going sierra floor pan, i want an axle that will take the power, and an un modified floor pan, going the route of the bolt in focus kit, so floor should need very little work, i had a bolt in kit focus up on the 2 post in america seeing how its done a few years back, hoping the mondeo needs even less work being a bigger car,
