No they don't, if it wasn't for Ford sticking one in the RST there would be no Escos

Power crazy did the 4x4 FRST with the mondeo running gear, DJ Motorsport do lots of RWD conversions ready to accept a YB. They are in Essex I think, Clacton maybe.

well, I just wanna be a bit different, might not even do it yet, but as the cab will soon be sent to the workshop to have all the bodywork done to it I have to start thinking if I'm gonna do it. Might just have to live without the extra grip RWD gives.
