I would think a good £3000 to even start to do it properly.

You will of course be telling your insurers won't you?

I'd say more than that personally, you'll need some sort of management on it as a chip won't work with it.

Why not just sell the Focus and get something older, faster and cheaper?

Instead of all these hairbrain schemes which aren't going to happen cheaply........
