Can anyone tell me for sure? I was lead to believe that you could fit a mk4 box into a mk3 bUt not the other way around.
HELP PLEASE.

MK4 into MK3 doesn't go

Doesn't have the front bolt mounting, sure the casing can be swapped but no idea how involved this is...

Basically a MK4 will accept any BC or Ib5 box from a MK3,4,5
But you can only put a MK4 box into a MK4 Escort
