focus can be done but it's a lot more than just getting an old scrap escort td and swapping all that over, probably cheaper as well, and more reliable as the focus has fuel pump issues that are expensive to put right when they fail

yeah the loom/ecu is differant so will need swapped but its not that hard, especialy if you get an escort td as a donor then everyting just plugs in at fuse box etc,
as for mounts and hoses etc then they are all just straight swap over parts
