Best way it to use Mondeo Si 4x4 running gear, it's not a cheap conversion...... AVA want about 20 grand to do it. Someone did it to a fiesta RST a while back, Power Crazy Motorsport or something?

For the cost involved, you'd be better off buying a sapphire cossie.

Some people reckon that spending thousands on a cossie is pointless when you could buy a porche for less.... But thats not the point is it.....

Totally agree Dave, but LORD is maybe not the word I would use Can think of another 4 letter word that would sit there quite nicely tho

Not the best way to do it with the MTX setup out of the RS2000 but it will work

The box can go in easy now with brackets ready made


But the rest of it is NOT "value for money" IMO (If you want 4x4 the best way is cossie)
