Default 4WD Focus ST225

Has anyone modified the ST225 to 4WD? I know the WRC focus has a 2.0L engine. But can the ST225 be converted to 4WD?

Didn't Performance Ford feature one a few years ago? Think it had been converted to LPG as well

They used a modified rs gearbox. Think it had been modified to take a transfer box. Then as you say. A Kuga rear end. Only difference is the back wheels sit 3mm further forward than standard. Apparently the kuga and focus are the same floorpan

would imagine the Kuga will the base in the future when they are cheap, or even some volvos. people would pay silly amounts for an xr4x4 and now they cost pennies the running gear is the perfect platform to put in a p100.
