hello people how you doing? have just joined and despreately need some advice.i''ve been offered a very cheap slightly damaged focus 1.4 cl and am tempted to buy it and stick another engine in it. would a v6 from a mondeo fit? Also it's a mark one focus that needs new front wings lights bonnets etc. so would it be possible to fit mark 2 items? please comment as I would like to start this project a.s.a.p

 

mk 2 bits should go straight on. I wouldnu bother bout the mondeo v6 stick a focus rs engine in. Leave the focus lookin standard and have some fun upsetting people lol. Welcome to pf.

 

Hello and welcome to pf
stick a focus rs motor in it

 

am i hearing this mk2 focus parts should bolt onto a mk1 focus im a little confused is this possible?

 

mk2 focus bits won't fit, its a completely different car.

I have seen the v6 engine done before, its a lot of work though as the focus engine bay is quite short, a tuned 2 litre zetec will be quicker than the v6 anyway!

 

would the front from '01-'04 focus fit? also have a '04 1.6 lx which has the (in my opinion) nicer headlights. Also would the one touch indicaters from a later focus fit?

 

i never did think any mk 2 parts would fit different chassi so on
the bumper from a 1-04 should fit might be fitted differently but should work. and i would go for the 2 litre asdwell alot better engine bepends on what your going for torque or bhp

 

Yeah the bumpers from a facelift mk1 will fit straight on, headlights will fit but you will need to change the wiring plugs on the end of the loom as they are different.

 

is that hard to do then rich.

 

I think you need to buy plugs from VW strangely enough. Its not overly difficult if you are handy with a soldering iron. When I did mine I bought some plug and play looms from a bloke on the focus owners club so it was easy, I don't think he makes them any more though!
