Rs turbo re shell into mk3.5 help
Well, my rs is dead, too much welding needed and too many previously bodged repairs have put an end to her unfortunately,
However I am going to re shell her, iv picked up a nice clean mk3.5 1.1,
All I have is a couple of questions,
Interior wiring loom, do I need to rip it all put and fit the rs wiring instead?
Front suspension, anti roll bar ect, is the anti roll bar stronger on the rs than on a lower model? If so do I change the whole front subframe over or bolt the rs bar to the standard 3.5, then the lower arms, can I bolt my rs stuff into the 3.5 subframe?
Fuel tank, swap it out for the rs item?
Many thanks in advance
Luke

The front suspension is different on the 3.5. The hubs are different in diameter where the shocks go. might be wrong but the lower spec 3.5 didt have the anti roll bar. I would change the whole front suspension.
With regards to the wiring I would keep the wiring the same apart from the engine loom which will be different.

The fiesta has an in tank fuel pump so would be best changing the fuel tank and I think its different on the rs, unless your putting an uprared one in, or a new one. If so I would pick the best one of them.
