anyone know if anyone has ever rwd'd a transit connect, i know they use the same floor pan as a focus mk1, so if it can be done to a focus it can be done to a connect in theory, i have never looked under a connect so don't know if its an idea or not, could be fun though and would be different

 

been done builder is on here https://passionford.com/forum/restor...h-connect.html

 

I do not think they use the floor pan from any car, its a separate commercial chassis and nowt to do with a Focus according to the guys at my local commercial Ford dealership.

 

looking at the pics of the cosworth one, it doesn't look as hard to do as a focus car, this has given me something to think about, would have to be a v8 in mine though

 

connect rear end is specific as its on leafs matey

 

nice and easy to put 4 link on then with live axle, i know live axle is old school but easy to fit and easy to get one to take any amout of power. sweet.

 

front ends the same just rear thats different

 

Could you not use the standard leaf springs and stick a capri/cortina axle on them.

 

i was thinking that, although i will use a mustang axle, but i think a 4 link setup would handle better, i think i'll just get engine and axle, and see what vehicle comes up at the right price, with or without a blown engine, short list is transit conect, focus mk1 rs, or a sierra cosworth 3dr or saphire, the fous rs is top of the list
