Something different! All those mentioned have been done a fair few times before. How about something like a spazmo ford fusion? Would make an awesome sleeper!

NON FORD: I always quite fancied converting the renault clio sport V6 into cossie powered as it already has the engine in the back and RWD.

FORD: Focus
