the kegel kit is a lot of money for not alot of product, u could build the kit urself for well under a grand, i went out to kegel in 2005 and test drove the red focus on there web site, mark_24v_wiring was there but he didn't get to drive it, kegel himself took mark for a spin and ran the car out of petrol,

u swap the front struts to the opposite side of the car, this then puts the steering arm of the strut to the front, so u can mount a rack to the engine cradel, i think from memory for rhd u use a fiesta rack but not sure what year, the original focus front subframe has a gap cut in the rear to allow the gearbox to fit, u need to enlarge the tunnel by a little, not as much as u would think, the red kegel demo car still had all the original plastic bits on the enlarged tunnel, they cut out the spare wheel well but u only really need to cut a little bit to allow for the axle, but they cut it all so they can mount the fuel tank under the flat replacement panel, i did have a load of pics of the kegel demo car, as they put it up on a two post lift for me, but i think the pics were lost when i had a hard drive fail.

here is how the axle fits
